keep my mouth shut anymore we've all seen talking heads on t v and on the internet spouting this or that political social economic or moral agenda and on cable access t v we expect to see the real wackos the ones who can't get air time anywhere else and i'm one of those wackos i have lived long enough in the world sixty three years to formed opinions on how things work and what forces are at play in our lives both in local arenas and global arenas i need no certification or stamp of approval from any big media corporation or educational institution or think tank or  democratic party or republican party or any party whatsoever i am an independent man i am an independent thinker i form my own opinions any one of you can look around and ask yourself if my views are accurate or inaccurate and you can decide for yourself if what i have to say is worth one more second of your time you all have  right in your hands and you can change to watch whatever you want where you can listen to a truth that you'll never see on p b s or any other broadcast media why because it doesn't make money it's an uncomfortable truth far more uncomfortable than anything about the environment money is the biggest challenge for most people in the world how to get enough cash to get what you need to continue a life to have some comfort to get some things done most people need some free will and some freedom even when employers demand more and more every year and pay less and less in our great civilized western world capitalism has some serious flaws in these areas capitalism has done a good job keeping people from starving to death but it's got some serious flaws unfortunately there is a small group of people usually i call them the one  percenters but they're even smaller than that those people have the most money more money than anyone else more money than anyone can imagine and they want to make more and more money off of all the rest of us and don't really give a damn if anyone suffers or not the goal is to make billions of dollars the goal is not to end suffering or even lessen human suffering the goal is and always has been to make billions and billions of dollars all of our wars are about making billions of dollars not about freedom not about future happiness or future stability it's about making billions of dollars one percenters are found in every nation and some nations even write laws to make sure that the poor stay poor and the rich stay very rich in africa right now we see an amazing effort by america china and europe to move in and save all the dark little children from starvation and disease the actual goal the actual goal of the corporations and governments who are moving in and building their bases to secure natural resources and cheap labor an entire continent of cheap labor no other continent is currently up for grabs so everyone is focused on africa it apparently does not matter to the corporations or to the governments to have starving and homeless children in their own streets in the streets of seattle in the streets of chicago in the streets of los angeles in the streets of atlanta right there in the streets of washington d c where all those important wealthy people make those important decisions those babies those homeless children are not nearly as valuable as the babies and africa i live out in the woods living apart from the hustle of a life lot of life in the moneymaking cities america and the subdued life in the small towns the economically devastated places each with an obligatory wal mart mcdonald's c v s pharmacy and shell station from the outside it looks like someone sold the farm sold everything of value for pennies on the dollar and millions of people became economic slaves to a handful of banks and corporations i don't mean to sound ungrateful for the many sacred blessings of capitalist democracy but economic slavery is an ugly self destructive way to run any modern civilization millions of people tens of millions of people are herded into lives they did not choose therefore slake a nomics to live in places they do not wish to live and even told what is appropriate to think to say and to do in this economic set up in this social set up in this political set up free will actual free will becomes a fantasy and in possibility of  threadbare piece of propaganda pushed from one generation to the next we have the free will to choose among inadequate and ugly options as slaves we are fed endless scripts written by people who baked billions of dollars from our daily work and from everything we purchase we are expected to believe the super bowl nike shoe and i phone pampers diaper and streaming intertainment of all kinds are essential to sustaining joyful human life and essential to the future of our civilization we are expected to ignore our immediate daily stress and suffering or medicate them away and be satisfied and distracted by shiny objects we are expected to believe our government corporate and educational leaders have things under control and know what they are doing few intelligent people in the civilized world fall for that particular nonsense the cherry unicorn fantasies the citizens of china japan australia england france spain greece italy sweden hungary russia are also completely aware of the united quick seas of their governments the united with seas of their corporate and educational leaders get it gets worse it begins to look provable that government leaders in most nations are increasingly controlled by the corporate leaders and specifically individual multi billionaire all the g corporate leaders tell the elected leaders what to do and what not to do also education science industry social planning are all controlled by men and women who are out to make the largest profit in the shortest amount of time absolute paranoia over climate change is an example of industries deciding they want to make the most profit in the shortest amount of time so yes scare the crap out of everyone and get them to spend billions of dollars the assault on free will in the united states begins to look much like the assault on free will in communist china facial recognition software and the not existence of personal privacy luring people with shiny objects selling entire populations and unicorn fantasies hurting people into tightly controlled forms of economics barbed wire ways of life and ever smaller ways of thinking the leaders of civilized nations in their best suits are on t v every evening and they say nothing important and they say it louder and louder each day and seem to believe truly believe in their vision of the future we the citizens are not just asked to get on board with the agendas we are forced to get on board with the agendas we the citizens are forced into worldviews social engineering and economics pushed by corporate leaders by the oligarchy we are in to ask if this is what we want we are told this is what we want we the citizens are encouraged to have no personal opinions or to keep all opposing opinions to ourselves hundreds of millions of citizens expected to get with the program and do it we are told in all places at all times with government spy cams on every street corner for ever and ever amen this is supposed to be the new secular religion as the big religions fall apart and become inadequate and useless so what can be done about all this your elected leaders will do nothing to change these things our own jay inslee now running for president to save the planet well good luck with that jay it does not matter who sits in the office in the chair of the president of the united states of america as long as the big forces that i have described the big money forces continue to hold control over the economics of the entire planet those forces are all consumed by making billions of dollars as quickly as possible in one lifetime or two lifetimes and beyond that well the men and women making the billions of dollars really could care less truthfully their imaginations you not extend further than their own lifetimes or at most the lifetimes of their children and grandchildren it is that lack of imagination among the most powerful kendall one now we live in a caustic place and time when lawyers decide what artistic and or a literary content to justify seeing and nude women on t v and never a full frontal needed woman even in the most serious recitation of shakespeare would not meet my naked breasts and make it pussy legally proper to be an imaginative puritans my naked in anime made by god himself is somehow not in some way to some people offense against the decency and morals of the creator seattle area disturbing portions of my anatomy mess therefore be covered even under citing shakespeare because somehow in some way to some people m my nipples and all the rest are offensive and lewd which are city lies equate to obscenity such obscene things which may cause psychological or social damage to delicate minds minds which might accidentally be flipping  channels at one am and be assaulted and beat unconscious by my naked pussy or many get breasts oh good god we can't have that going on innocent people driven to moral crimes by seeing my pussy cats or a as if hundreds of homeless people living on the streets of seattle are less obscene and last loot less offensive to moral society and cause less damage to our collective consciousness my pussy my tents and my ass must be covered up to prevent social chaos and the class of civil life like in king county here right now to make sure we all have requisite and verifiable artistic and or literary content to m show legal and proper i will not reveal one nipple nor on pubic hair and i will recite some verses from shakespeare from merchant of venice actually i've seen one how sweet the moonlight sleeps upon this bank here we will set in that the sounds of music creep in our ears such stillness and the night becomes the tensions of sweet harmony sit jesica look on the floor have and it is think in lead with pa but small minds tell us what to think and see and say decay of all honest beautiful and moral life is inevitable small minds never see the civilization he sent a civilization to its premature death these are the ugly metal journals i hear when puritanical unimaginable people get to tell the rest of us what to think what words we can say what we can see and not see what we can pussy my tits and my ass are lewd and obscene and subversive to the good intentions of society when puritanical an imaginative people get to decide what is artistic and what is not when all this happens i know for a fact our civilization is going i know for a fact my free will is threatened and freedom justice equality and truth are lies freedom justice equality and truth no longer exist when one small group of people force their own imaginative ideas on the rest of us freedom justice equality and truth are our propaganda words to make us feel better while all our human rights are taken away i breasts and full frontal mute sculptures specifically mute penises rudin and michelangelo are legally ok while living breathing warm humid penises are forbidden by law even when classes even when they're small and hardly noticeable because of the strict regulations and strict interpretations of public decency standards we will not be presenting any to the action on this t v station we will present literary and your artistic content we will present literary and or artistic content lieschen without any sense of humor at all without one ounce the twenty first century human imagination those things are against the rules one can be arrested or publicly humiliated sacrifice so they can have their way and feel smug and rapists and self satisfied and be at peace with their castrated and scowling god they're castrated and scarily god is not any god i am familiar with the lord god gave me a present friendly warm pussy that gets wet at the drop of a hat my god gave me this pussy to enjoy it and nice tits for the boys to squeeze and some girls are also like to squeeze these knockers my the a lust for boys with hard penises and oh i love those hard penises all eking and warm so eager to be stroked by my hands so eager to be held in my mouth so eager to spurt inside me i'm sorry oh i hope all the lawyers will forgive me all that sounded like illegal lewd intimacy into lation i assure you as god is my witness it was meant to be literary and artistic ask any gay man on capitol i've had my mind humans for over sixty years and i can no longer keep my mouth shut so much of human behavior is blatantly ridiculous and bizarre there is a constant tendency toward slavery economic slavery and also intellectual slavery the slavery of the imagination so much continues to go so wrong so often and this is from a lack of imagination as well as deliberate well planned evil few people seem willing or able to do much about it for always talk our great president our supreme leader is really not qualified to accomplish much and neither is our senate or house of representatives their public statements are almost exclusively party propaganda which prevents any real consideration of facts and prevents the creation of solutions making our national legislature pretty much a worthless group of senile old men and women with not a whole lot to say our former president jimmy carter recently said the united states is suffering from a complete lack of faith here is the quote to a great extent even in the united states we have lost faith in democracy yep that's for sure and there are good reasons for losing faith in the same interview he mentioned the supreme court he said the supreme court seems to be eager to see rich people become more powerful and see corporations more become more powerful than individuals most nights i see talking heads on the t v talking heads talking about irrelevant things in short soundbites the really important problems the country killing problems are mentioned but never fully discus because it is not possible to discuss anything serious in a series of soundbites even the whole hour long program of propaganda whether it's from the left or the right will not get to the core of the problems this is the huge failure of broadcast media print media is better at these issues but who cares as of twenty sixteen only two in ten us adults got news from print newspapers that's a pew research fact so all those millions of adults tens of millions are forming political and economic opinions and social opinions based on sound bites or based on rush limbaugh or some other big talker this brings me to notice the resurgence of racism and the media frenzy the angry white man the angry black man and not one of them ready to solve the problem to stop racist behavior we need to know why racist behavior happens we need to look at various examples multinational racism against jews jewish racism against palestinians white racism against other whites white racism against blacks black racism against whites that is the habit of lumping all white skinned people into one group and calling them rhesus we can also discuss black racism against blacks many blacks were sold into american slavery by other blacks also we can talk about japanese racism against chinese and chinese racism well chinese racism against everybody after we talk about all those varieties of racism then we will have a place to start in getting rid of racism  afternoon i watched a documentary on the life and career of playwright arthur miller produced by his daughter rebecca and i'm left with such great sadness sadness for the suffering he witnessed during his lifetime the suffering he wrote about and his own personal suffering his own suffering it was perhaps larger than most people experience because he had those wild artistic moments when he knew he had created a remarkable place plays equal to anything in the history of literature and he had that wild public acclaim with all that he had the normal fantasies of any great artist of any famous artist feeling like a god god like omniscience and creative power he knew it was a literary genius but that genius and none of his works of art could save the life of marilyn monroe not his genius not his honest love for any effort on his part could save her from self destruction the internal and external forces in her life were just too powerful while she was still alive when a reporter asked arthur miller what it was like being married to marilyn monroe and he said honestly most of the time is spent taking care of her implying that in many basic ways she was not able to look after herself not able to look after her own physical needs or her mental health  arthur miller may never have questioned the ultimate value of art as a result of his own art not being able to do much but i do if even the finest work of art cannot save one person from self destruction well what good is it as far as i can tell no poem has ever stopped to believe no play has ever changed the world view of a brutal businessman or reformed a corrupt politician no painting no piece of music has ever made the lives of poor people less difficult or built a home for a homeless person with a re exception i noticed one recent art auction donated all the money to a homeless shelter so that's one example of where art can make it tangible difference i know a lot of art exists simply to save the sanity of the artist giving an artist a way to exist in a brutal and hostile world i know art sues the heart and elevates the hope of people that is people with good jobs  millions of people have no jobs does art ever do much about that we have even more economic slaves in two thousand and eighteen then when arthur miller wrote death of a salesman in hundred forty nine there is just as much mingling of fantasy and reality in our lives most of us are still pretty much slaves to economic and political forces far beyond our control not even after all the works of american artists between one nine hundred forty nine and now artistic genius has generally fallen out of fashion in two thousand and eighteen it's computer and technology geniuses that are held up as the heroes the artistic hope of serious playwrights screenwriters movie directors novelists and poets is usually to make the world a better place make it a better place by pointing out what is good and what is not good in the way we do things but the question remains does pointing out a problem with a work of art make any difference at all in solving that problem the struggle to earn a living is still the most challenging fact of most people's lives and that one struggle generates many of our national psychosis and personal failures along with that our reality is dominated by the ideas of the wealthy one percenters and their corporations it's those handful of people and the corporations that they create that define our reality those people define a reality more than any artist or writer for for poet any personal beliefs we may have exists only as secondary considerations after our allegiance to our jobs and the reality of our jobs more and more if we lack allegiance to our employers were simply replaced we're no longer employable we can be discarded corporations know that everyone is easily replaceable we're example we began to design ourselves as servants to the cause of making money and to define our lives by our ability or lack of ability to generate money at any given moment we design our lives to generate enough cash to buy our way out of economic slavery we call the post slavery years retirement but that's only if we have enough money to retire there was perhaps a truly naive fantasy of those twentieth century artists to believe their work if it was only good enough could generate social change and stimulate the consciences of wealthy and powerful people so those people would behave more humanely toward the rest of us in the case of arthur miller the art was certainly good enough but as artists in the twenty first century we've learned changing the minds of the wealthy and powerful is not something any art can do that is simply beyond the reach of art the consciences of wealthy and powerful people march to the beat of their own drums wealthy and powerful parents attempt to pass those march tunes down to their children but sometimes the children of wealthy and powerful people decide they want other kinds of music so sometimes the new marches lead to  better living conditions for the rest of us once in a while but most corporate marches still lead to the growth of fascist control and economic slavery in most major corporations the main intention continues to be raiding the wallets of his many citizens as possible in the shortest amount of time that is the goal keeping the prices as high as possible in the corporate view the sole purpose for most people's lives to generate billions of dollars billions of dollars for the shareholders billions of dollars for the people in charge this is as true in the united states as it is in china whatever industry we look at the primary intention is the same universities medical centers law offices banks real estate car sales chain grocery stores the suppliers of chain grocery stores gasoline electricity natural gas and water internet high tech phone cable services everything we buy the intention is not to provide the best product or service at a fair price the intention is to squeeze people as much as possible there is a big difference between corporate behavior and the behavior of many independent businessmen the independent businessman might personally know their customers and honestly care about their customers but it's corporate behavior that has become the dominant behavior in our economic system and our political system the truth is i'm amazed anyone can keep themselves from becoming paranoid and neurotic in a civilization as economically brutal as ours perhaps are it allows us to feel better about ourselves and lets us believe our civilization is ok even when it is clearly not ok that form of consolation is almost religious our very best art answers to a higher power higher than politics and economics though we can truthfully say some of the art we most admire like the sistine chapel were created for really good paycheck it is a fact michelangelo was paid seventy eight thousand dollars in today's terms which at the time was equivalent to several million dollars the painter vermeer was not so lucky british and in the court after his death for relief of her outstanding debts his wife said during the ruinous war with france he not only was unable to sell any of his art but also to his great detriment he was left sitting with paintings of other masters that he was dealing in as a result and owing to the great burden of his children having no means of his own he lapsed into such decay and decadence which he had so taken to heart it was as if he had fallen into a frenzy in a day in a half he went from being healthy to being dead in two thousand and four vermeer's painting young woman seated at the virginal zz sold for almost forty million dollars what are we to think of the ultimate value of art when the artist dies flat broke and over three hundred years later just one of his paintings is worth more money than he and his family ever had in their entire lifetimes the modern value did the artist no good at all it did his wife and family no good at all with that perhaps it's time to reconsider how we do things we cannot pretend there is any fairness or equality in our economic system when some of our best geniuses the geniuses of our time end up no better off than vermeer and all those thousands of people who are not as talented as vermeer while many of them have talents in making money talents on wall street talents for selling sub prime mortgages so those people will leave us no art at all
