No doubt, I have, Shirleypal, but at this point, I am not particularly concerned. I am taking care of a lot of overdue personal business in my life at the present time, and I do not have the outward focus that I had as late as a year ago. Beyond that, I am presently overwhelmed by the collapse of my culture, both politically and aesthetically. The Demokrat success of four months ago has not altered the country’s fascist agenda one whit, and Coast-to-Coast settled, long ago, into its current subordinate and subservient position within that cultural fascist setting.
You say, Shirleypal, that Art Bell has conducted some exceptional interviews over the past couple of months. Well, maybe he has, but they certainly have not been the ones that I heard. The Art Bell whom I have heard recently is an unsure and even confused old man, who has definitely trimmed his sails in order to hold onto his part-time gig at Coast-to-Coast. He did not seem either as focused or as deep as he used to be, when he was a free man in a freer time. Art Bell still may be the best late-night interviewer out there, but this praise is by no means as high on my part as it once was. And it is becoming harder for me to stay up nights in order to wait for whatever nuggets of information he might have to give us.
Perhaps my focus may revert outwards within the next year or so, and perhaps things will get better in this country twenty months from now with the Election of 2008. But I doubt it on either count. I myself glance in The Fantastic Forum just briefly and just a couple of times a week now. It has been made as clear to me as it can possibly be made --- silence being the most terminal form of condemnation --- that my perspective is neither wanted nor valued here, except by a small minority of people like you. So I read a little here, and I post even less.
None of this is what I wanted, but things --- here and elsewhere --- are what they are, and I have to deal with things as they are. Which makes your constant support a source of consolation to me. If support like yours did not exist, I would not be here at all.
