The
contemporary peace marchers are a bit like the Liberals whom Trotsky dismissed
as the kind of people who thank their assailants for maiming, rather than
killing them. They are the same
gang who think that men like Dahmer and Bundy could have been rehabilitated if
only they hadn't been executed.

SOMEONE WHO KNOWS HOW TO MAKE METH

You
define the people in the WTC as innocent. That
is just an assumption. There
weren't any chemists lost, just usurious types, making money from money,
basically. And, they had an outlet
for expression beforehand, and they still have one.
Suck
up that attack, and prepare for more, such as the anthrax scare, because, you've
been fucking people for too long. Oh,
we may all be under attack from far left to far right, but, are you saying that
my ass, which has been given to someone else to exploit as he sees fit may get
blown up before it can be adequately exploited? Awww. You wanted
to take drugs, but you never wanted to go to prison for it. I'm sure I can find a reference to your drug-taking in your
writings. That's wrong, son.
I just wanted you to know I still know how to make meth.
I don't take the shit. Maybe
that's why I am still here after a year; still the same after your dismissal. I would have expected something more from someone who bills
himself, "The Blacklisted Journalist". I think you are a flit.
It is time for Geo. Harrison to die, and to bemoan it is to glorify
tobacco at our peril and the peril of impressionable youth.
Propagandist!
We
do not have much history of slavery in California, and I for one have always
been a little sickened by NYC (How can we lose the whole thing and start our own
country?). You're mob is no longer
cute. I have never been there, but,
it is the one place you can really know without going to. I am tired of you
fucking up 3 o'clock before 3 o'clock gets here.
I
know you'll keep 'em comin' and keep 'em mild, you false-advertising fuck of an
infidel.
They
won't be "working in our laboratories", or they would have nuked you
40 years ago. ##

A
GOOD IDEA!

Here's a good idea?

Al,
What
about the government going to Hollywood to procure some kind of propagandist
image to send over to third world countries?
Are we fuck'n nuts? Hollywood
doesn't even relate to the rest of this country, let alone people living and
starving in third world countries. There
objective, as they put it, is to show the rest of the world what a kind and
caring provider we are to the rest of the world.
Now, maybe it is just me, but don't you think that if some man living in
one of these countries, who happens to be poor, wears rags for clothing and
lives in a crumbling shelter of a building, don't you think he might find some
irony in all of this?
Why
don't we just send over a public service announcement like this:
Hey
Lebanon,
Just
because we own blenders and blue jeans and ironing boards and dominos delivery
to your front door, we're still the same as you. You're not as good of a country as we are, but we still like
you.
or
Hey
Syria,
Don't
you just hate it when you go to the drive through of McDonald's and you pull too
far away and you can't reach the window, and then you lose some change on the
ground (but you don't pick it up) or your food is not ready so you have to pull
up and wait, and then it takes around five minutes and still some dumb
mutherfucker gives you your quarter pounder with pickles, which you specifically
ordered without?
or
Hey
Pakistan,
You
know what sucks? 28.8 modems!
Don't you agree!
Hollywood
scares me almost as much as Bush, and only a pea brain like Bush or his
government would look for help from Hollywood instead of promoting good foreign
policy. Don't you think?
Well, I hope you got a laugh out of that Al, even though it is a scary
prospect.
Talk
to you soon,
Mark ##

Thanks....

thanks
for clipping that sad news bit about Kesey. I never really read much about him,
except that my friend used to non-stop mention stuff about the merry pranksters.
All I asked was if he was the one from the book "one flew over the cuckoo's
nest". it's still on my list of things to read. And just like I went
searching for info and songs of john lennon when I first heard he wasn't here
anymore, and when the first news about Georges illness came around I suddenly
thought "why did I never care to even listen to one if his albums".
you get this
peace

would
first like to say, that since I "discovered" your articles, through a
recent article in Hightimes (Oct. 2001), I have been all over your website,
voraciously reading, (enjoying) and searching the internet for more!
You have a new fan!
I
have a request. In that same
article in Hightimes, the art work was simply amazing.
I was wondering if you had a link, address, etc., for the artist who did
the illustrations? He is listed as
Robert Belfiore. I have had no luck
finding anything out about him or his work.
Thanks
for your time.
Sincerely
Sonny

DAYDREAMING
UP A HOLLYWOOD BLOCKBUSTER

Dear
Blacklisted Journalist:
I
enjoyed finding your story on Dylan and the Beatles first meeting.
I am also a big Jerry Garcia fan and enjoyed that write up too.
I found your web site yesterday and here's my little story.
Yesterday
I was driving to work in Petaluma, California from where I live in San Francisco
by Haight/Ashbury. Every day I
drive from Haight/Ashbury across the Golden Gate Bridge and past Mt. Tam in
Marin County on my way to my computer job.
I was driving along and daydreaming about stuff, as I often do.
I started thinking about maybe writing a script for a movie.
I was thinking that their should be some sort of action scene at the
beginning of the movie.
I
started thinking about what might be a good beginning to the movie.
There is this guy who has a big fight with his girlfriend.
He grabs some drugs booze, and a gun. He
drives to a deserted spot to get wasted and do himself in.
But he is too wasted to actually blow himself away.
A highway patrol car comes along and sees a car pulled over at night on a
deserted highway. The police officer walks over to the parked car and taps on
the window. The cop startles the
guy and without thinking he jumps out of his drug induced stupor and points the
gun toward the cop. He pulls the
trigger by mistake and the suicide attempt turns to murder. I am very non-violent and it seemed to me that I thought of
such a strange, violent idea for a story.
Later
I was working and I thought about the Beatles getting stoned with Bob Dylan for
some unknown reason. I am a big fan of Dylan and the Beatles.
So I typed that into the search engine and found your page.
I enjoyed reading the story about Dylan and the Beatles.
Then
I got to the end of the story, about how Mal died, and remembered my little
daydream in the morning. I knew I
was lead to your page to learn about Mal for some reason. Hard to say why...
Anyway
that's my little story. Thanks for
putting your story on the web!
Peace;
W.
