Let's say you go to bed one night after telling an employee of a corporation that the
only thing you wanted for Christmas and got that year was a DVD Player and one movie: The
Postman with Kevin Costner. Excellent movie.
And then, let's say, the next morning, you turn on the tv and the first thing you see
is a Direct-TV ad with Leslie Nielsen (who I'm a big fan of) saying "You don't have
to settle for watching just one movie..."
When I saw that, I thought, okay, they want to play games, but at least they're not
being hostile, and maybe they're sort of letting me in on the inside.
But, then, I wrote a little thing about how I'd won a "Best Actor" award in
High School for playing Ewart Dunlop in the Barber Shop Quartet in the play "The
Music Man".
So it comes on one night, and of course, I sat there and sang along... I didn't know
all the words, but I knew most... Lida Rose, oh... so I watch that, and go to bed.
So the next morning, I wake up, and the first thing I see on TV is a DirecTV commercial
featuring Leslie Nielsen saying "Stop watch old movies you know all the words
to"
Okay.
That's 2.
Here's 3. I have hundreds. Like Lou says, there are no such things as coincidences. I
guess that one would qualify as a three all by itself. That's Lou directly
responding to my email in Aesopian code.
Here's 4. Ah hell, check out my emails and the progression of Dobbs' coverage of the
immigration issue. Sure, he covered it before, but look at how he responds to my emails
and how his coverage changes. Ask me about his remark about "Some people think it's
boring"... Ask me about how he took a legitimate issue and purposely mangled it into
a wedge issue instead of a problem with a real solution that works.
And all that was in response to him thinking I wouldn't bring up one more time the
misappropriation of funds by Pete Wilson in the State of California related to the Exxon
Valdez disaster. And ask me how my former brother in law, at the time the West Coast
Development Director and in charge of much of Exxon's clean-up operation, characterizes
Exxon's position on the potential of a nuclear power plant melt down."We would only
lose a little over a million people" to which I replied sure, so long as they're
someone else's kids.
I told him this was the only issue I ever agreed with Pete Wilson on, immigration, but
he handled it wrong and got murdered politically for it. But it was a valid issue to
resolve.
Now Dobbs wants to use hatred and race to divide America, discredit Democrats and the
typical divide and conquer stuff that makes Phil Donohue say that the mainstream media is
destroying Democracy.
And, he's acting like a hero by announcing the North American Union as a horrible
thing, when all he's really doing is preparing people's minds for the fact it's coming,
attracting those people who care, and causing them to drain all of the emotional energy
they'd draw on to fight it when it actually becomes a public issue.
Every time you see someone on corporate media champion a cause before its time - I mean
really big stuff - don't assume but question whether or not they're just preparing
you for something or actually informing you. It's like the Iraq war: the media says it did
not do enough to "prepare" the public for war. When did that become their job?
Here's the cool part about DirecTV and things I've seen.
When I lived in Georgia, I attended a planning meeting for this little start-up company
that was going to do satellite tv broadcasting, and they explained to me how they needed a
billing system that addressed the issue of the fact that they needed to monitor every
person's watching because, in theory, they wanted to allow each user to be presented tv on
demand. It WAS DirecTV. The original startup.
In other words, what's listed on your DirectTV listing onscreen may be different on
someone else's tv based on their preferences. This was long before they said Tivo could
present commercials and programming based on the trends of the viewer... about 1993 I
think. Their system registers choices for marketing info and billing purposes, and
can provide distinctly different programming to every single receiver.
If you were being PsyOp'd, it's possible - like in the movie Truman - that everything
you see is custom tailored to alter your attitudes toward things like sex and violence if
they found out you would not support a war... etc, etc.. or trick an activist that the
world was coming to an end. Any technical director in a tv studio would probably
giggle at the prospect of being able to do that - and I'm not saying they all do that.
Thinking about doing a practical joke is not the same as doing it.
Which means, in theory, that they could play things only to your tv, like a news story,
that you tell someone else, who, time after time, proves you were wrong by reading a
newspaper, leaving you looking like a fool.
I'm just sayin', if you were being PsyOp'd... and you had no reason to think you
needed to collect evidence... how long and what would it take before you realized you
needed to protect yourself?
Good thing I have some witnesses to a few things.
At one point, I posted a list of all my favorite movies. We made jokes about how if
someone in my household wanted to watch a movie, just say it out loud, and the guys
listening at Time-Warner would play it for us. Mostly, they did. I didn't have to write an
email, no phone calls, just say it out loud. No proof on that. We didn't know we were
being PsyOped. Someone else says it only worked when I said it out loud.
All that said, it wasn't necessarily about me, it was about the technological
capability to really screw with someone's head and make them look delusional if they had a
mind to.
---- UPDATE --- 4/20/2008
Now, here's the really weird part. Things that made me believe I was psychic. Or, that
I was successfully contacting the networks.
I think it was in 1981-2-3... somewhere around there, I distinctly remember thinking
"I haven't seen Mary Poppins for a long time, I'd like to see it". A few weeks
or so later, it was on tv. HBO only had one channel then. I remember similar things
happening that I can't recall enough to state, but that kept happening. It was also
when my marriage broke up the first time.
It all began one day when she told me "There are things you'll never know about
me".
When my wife and I got back together, we compared notes on romantic relationships while
we were separated, and she told me she had a relationship with Howard Hunt's son, who was
a heroine addict. That kind of scared me, given that AIDS was just become a known thing. I
didn't know what she meant by relationship.
She said that he told her the Kennedy assassination was not the work of a lone
gunman. He didn't really say much more than that. Interestingly enough, he lives in
Humboldt County, one of the places I call my home town, and he's given newspaper
interviews saying the same things.
But it's consistent with the fact that I noticed there was only one report of something
that I've never heard before or since: It's that after the assassination, Howard Hunt was
found hiding in a freight train car with a group of Cubans some 16 hours after the
assassination, and they were arrested and released, with no report taken.
In addition, I recall that Jackie Kennedy's testimony to the Warren Commission was
redacted at the part when she said Kennedy was shot, and she turned to the right and saw
something... redacted... which is theorized to be a view to a sewer drain/manhole cover
with a view to the street from where forensic evidence was found of a bullet casing and
gun powder, according to the book "History Will Not Absolve US" which may be
found, but initially went "out of print" right after I bought my copy, and began
referring people to it on my web site.
While we were separated, I watched a lot of tv. I got so tired of the music back then,
that I wrote to NBC at least twice, if not 3 times or more, about music on tv in general,
telling them they needed something else more modern. I'm 99.9 per cent certain I
suggested to them that they consider artists like Jan Hammer. About 6 months later, Miami
Vice came out, and the person doing their music was Jan Hammer.
Back then there was no email or internet. So I did this by fax, thinking that if I sent
a letter, it would get lost in their stacks of mail. So I faxed it, thinking that when you
have a piece of paper floating around the office, some bored person might see it in the
garbage can or something, read it and go "Hey, that's an interesting idea". I
don't know what caused them to make that programming decision (at NBC, a GE Corporation).
But, like Dobbs said, "There are no such things as coincidences".
Speaking of TIME, Inc. A long time ago I saw Clare Booth Luce, I think o f the Astor
Foundation, (Google TIME INC or look at the article on The CIA & The Media by
Carl Bernstein) on the Today show, I think with Jane Pauley, and she was talking
about her philanthropic organization to promote the arts.
So... I was around 14, - likely younger - I wrote up a plan to create an organization
that would be fully self sustaining with an initial investment of less than 5 million
dollars, to be repaid within 5 years. This organization would make Time-Warner Inc.
look like a small time player even with their size.
The idea was to attract musicians, artists and writers, publish their materials as
amateurs, and hold workshops to turn them into world class performers AND THEN introduce
them to the record companies, publishers, etc.
I called it "The Family of Artists and Musicians", and even proceeded to
establish it online on Compuserve... but no matter what I did, everything got sabotaged
online for some reason. I gave up. I still have my original proposal.
Tried again a number of years later, same result.
Then, I sent an email to Dobbs when I first started contacting him to go to the site www.planetarymix.com, which is another site that,
every time I work on it, I get zapped by psychotronics and never complete anything.
But , in 2002, when I contacted Dobbs, I made a special home page just for him to
read about how I was going to start this organization, and turn the artists to Time-Warner
first when they were ready, because Warner Bros. Records was my favorite company to work
with since High School, when I was program director of our station. My "college"
rep (they didn't have a high school rep) went on to become the CEO of Capitol Records,
who, at one time, entertained hiring me as a "staff song writer", then didn't,
because they said they were ending their "staff writer" program.
I always wanted Glen Campbell... and later, James Taylor, to do one of my songs. That's
why I approached Capitol Records. I can't document any of this, of course. Who'd have
thought I'd need to? I can't help but wonder, now, about how many of my songs have
been plagiarized. I started copywriting my music back in about 1963-1965 through a company
called "Betty's Music Makers" in Philadelphia, whose records supposedly got
destroyed in a flood. I've copyrighted numerous songs since, as
quarterly collections (which you could register all for the price of one, on cassette or
reel to reel... with a lyric sheet...) And I have binders full more.
I thought I wrote a pretty good "perfect 60" - perfect
length for a 60 second ad - for the Democrats in 2003 - "We Stand for the Spirit of
America It's deep inside us all"... I thought it was a pretty good tune. Sent
that to Dobbs too. Later on Paul Begala.
And why Dobbs, in the final days leading up to the Iraq War...
had Darryl Worley come on and play his rousing song - a great song just factually
incorrect - telling us all to go to war to fight those Al Qaeda terrorists in Iraq.
But here's the kicker - I actually think Dobbs was set up too. My
theory is that NBC did Dobbs a favor when he got fired at CNN, and when he came back to
CNN, and I started acting like an American, MSNBC "handed me off to Dobbs".
It's all such a long, complex story that if Michael Moore made a
movie about, it would require a sequel if not a trilogy. But we'll get there one day. The
point is, just like when Dobbs said "There are no such things as coincidences",
he didn't know that he was being set up at that point. Probably 90% of the materials I
have pointing to the patterns that would prove that CNN was at least interacting with me -
let alone "messing with me" and actually participating in PsyOps against me, are
alll evidence pointing at Dobbs... I have to laugh because at one point, before I got a
DVR, and when my VCR stopped working, I used to take a photo of the screen to capture his
list of books on his Thursday book recommendations. On this one picture, all I got was him
in a head shot, and all the scroll at the bottom of the screen said was "sex
pervert". Swear to God.
Anyway, a great deal more went on that I have not eluded to at
all. You have no idea. And be sure to keep in mind, if you think all I'm complaining about
is having fun interacting with news reporters... if that's all it had been, I wouldn't be
writing this. But when my home gets invaded and many other things go on that simply
couldn't possibly be going on without law enforcement knowledge and cooperation of some
sort... but the electronic attacks, and their little remarks that were metaphors for what
was occurring in my home... it would be like being in a group of teenagers at school, and
you're talking, and one guy says something that only one girl would know meant he was
watching her through her window the night before as she put on her night gown... things
much like that.
But Dobbs took on some hard issues and I have to defend him for
that. I hate what he did witht the immigration issue, and you need to know, I emailed him
once wondering how he was going to maneuver it into a 2008 wedge issue. It's pretty
evident. I have alot of respect for the man's skills.... and I don't let him off the hook
for his involvement... and he well might be mentioning the North AMerican Union just to
stir things up... but I think the man got set up... could be wrong of course, but I think
he did. Another set of chapters to write.
This is the text I had Dobbs read... which will lead to another chapter in my contacts
with Time-Warner. Pay particular attention to my notes about Bill Graham (this was given
to Dobbs in mid-2002) and why you were not allowed to hear the voices of celebrities and
musicians in the run up to the Iraq war.
Your move.

Bill Graham:
Concert Promoter & Cultural Leader (and a request of HBO, please replay this
special.) Back in about 1989, HBO produced and aired a program about the music of the
60's and early 70's, and it included a great deal of insight from Bill Graham, legendary
concert promoter whose Fillmore Auditorium marked the coming of age and success for any
band in America.
The most interesting thing I found in the special was Graham talking about how
music of the 60's wasn't about individuals involved in a cultural revolution.
Instead, music was at the center of the culture, it expressed the gamut of hopes and
fears, joy and anger of a generation seeking to find its own independence in an
environment of government distrust, extreme pollution, ever more over-shadowed by the
futility of the Vietnam War. (see www.war.com )
Music was a uniting force, a message that resonated in all who listened.

Planetary
Mix was going to be my own radio station on the internet. It would have
been what I was going to do as a personal hobby... planned on it since 1995 when I first
logged onto the internet. I was a disk jockey when all this music was popular...
I was waiting to see what the internet music license fees would end up being before
launching. Never said I was good at graphics :} But
there's a huge opportunity here.
We can have our own music site... artists can share music, have it played and
protected, and with any luck, get a contract from someone. We are not agents.
We don't want a cut. We're here to empower. And have some fun.
What we will want is for you to submit music, socially oriented especially, and let's
develop music for our times, and give people a place to listen to the messages of our
times.
We'll make sure you have all the appropriate copyright issues handled too. We'll look
at ways to sell your CD's, as well as look for ways to sell compilations of various
artists... previews... and a variety of online mixes for you to listen to.
This is essentially the same way Windham Hill & Cyprus Hill Records got its
start.
This is another phase we are not yet ready to do, but want you to think about and
prepare for.
In the long run, this turns into an educational organization that uses music, arts and
creativity as a context for teaching people of all ages to use and enjoy their creativity
more fully. It's a God given gift, primarily to entertain and express ourselves as
individuals.
We agree with the principles taught by the Center for Non-Violent Communications in Los
Angeles. It basically says there are times when you have to use protective force, but that
most of the time, we can do things in a way that does not provoke other people.
Instead, there are methods of causing the "space" for resolution.
In a time of increasing social pressure from population and competition, I've always
believed that teaching people to express themselves in arts is very good for the spirit.
Even more, it provides another less adversarial way for people to relate. By
cultivating creativity and open-mindedness, it also offers an excellent environment for
teaching conflict resolution and integrity.
It does this by causing people to think more, and consider the impacts of their actions
on other people and things around them.
Ultimately, it raises consciousness, so that what we do is a choice - what we choose to
do - not the selection of one of the options placed before us.
Please do not send music or inquiries now. Think about how you might be able to
help on this project, sign up for the list serve at www.democraticfundamentalism.org and
we'll keep you informed!
Did you know?...
WEA and A&M Records were primarily responsible for punk music? Their theory, based
upon the special on Bill Graham that I mentioned, was that music is a critical binding
force of the expression of a culture - and so they attempted to empower those who wrote
dissident music to give them voice.
Sure, it was a business move for them, and it failed, because once the anger had been
expressed, there was no real movement to continue to address the issues raised in the
music.
But the underlying sentiment of the company officials remained. As a business, they
were willing to give voice to the people... for a profit. I'm sure they'd be curious
about such a proposition now.
We have a movement. And I know the music is out there. And if we could
reach the airwaves, it would be a major step.
BTW - I'll mention that I was once interviewed for a job as a publicist and studio
manager for a major rock band, and a Christian music label. I told them that to promote
Christian rock, what they needed to do was take the songs with the more ambiguous lyrics,
and release them first... they looked at me funny, I didn't get the job...
But 3 months later, Amy Grant, on their label, had her first hit on mainstream
radio.
Make a suggestion, plant a seed, let it grow. That's show biz :}

Back in the early eighties, I was a music critic for an international magazine
with a circulation of 1+million... I was fortunate to interview lots of people, and work
with many record companies and producers. Of those Warner/Elektra/Atlantic, A&M,
Motown and Capitol were my favorite companies to work with. At that time, WEA was not a
division of AOL Time Warner. Now, despite the stigma of being such a huge corporation,
something that causes concern, they are a business. I believe we can talk to them
about communications systems, music publication... you get the gist.
More than that, though, it provides an opportunity to work with a corporation that has
massive communications capabilities... and at the same time, ask them to be the example of
a good global business partner.
We could, as a partner, work with them to establish standards about what a good global
corporation can be like. And, have input on their practices and programming so that
they can show they are, indeed responsive.
This is not a request to overlook anything
This is a possibility of the kind of partnership that could make the world a better
place.
So if we generated enough good, socially conscious music, there would probably be a
market for it.
At this point, it's only a possibility. What do you think?
Did you know that Time/Warner will soon be facilitating the broadcast of TV from Saudi
Arabia to the United States via London?
