Anti-Social Media & Social Distancing

Uncategorized, , , , , , , , , , ,

Truly, this IS the time, Kato.

For about fifty-five years now, I’ve been touting Full Cleansing Practices, which looks to most people like a frantic attempt to scour oneself of all germs — it’s actually a disease, but that’s not what we’re doing.

The Cleansing Practice is a daily — make that hourly and even minute-by-minute — practice that has its root in deep antiquity.

You’re about to see the collapse of the world economy, albeit only temporarily, and it won’t be pleasant for those without resources, and it takes more than money to get through this particular dense thicket of thorns.

First of all, you’ll need some money, particularly if you don’t typically have any extra to spend on trinkets like survival food and gear. Continue reading →

Corona is a Cigar

Uncategorized, , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Remember when “Corona-Corona” was a fine Cuban cigar? Probably not — it was before Castro even played baseball. The virus doesn’t know borders and doesn’t respect bullies. It goes where it will, and when it will.

One of those places was evidently someone in or around the President and Vice President during yesterday’s festivities at the CDC, and they tested positive.

This doesn’t necessarily mean anything — the test can be wrong, lots of other factors, but it puts us in mind of the fact that if those two old bastards in the Oval Office aren’t careful to observe “Social Distancing”, we might end up with a woman President — Nancy Pelosi — think about it. If they get too sick to do their jobs, she steps in and wham! We have our first woman President, if only temporarily until the two elderly gents recover from the flu.

This is of course pure speculation having little basis in fact, but it IS possible, and therefore the PRUDENT businessperson takes note of the possibility and prices it into the market, however improbable it may seem. Continue reading →

Safe Gathering Space

Uncategorized, , , , , , , , ,

I wonder if it occurred to you that our virtual ashram — for which we pay hundreds of dollars per month to keep open worldwide — could be used for meetings during the coronavirus covid19 emergency, which will be about 8 months, total, with a dip sometime in May-July, after which it will return with a vengeance.

Okay, so one thing you can do about it proactively is to stay out of crowded spaces, mobbed malls and jammed elevators. Continue reading →

Virtual Vaccine???

WOW! Are We In Trouble!

Holy shit, it’s for real this time!!! Not a wolf — it’s a teensy-tiny little virus, not even a bacterium or nothin’, and it’s coming to get YOU!

I don’t know if you read my recent books “SlimeWars” and “Trump is a Four-Letter Word”, both of which accurately predict — not hard to do — a major pandemic sometime around 2018, 100 years after the Great Epidemic of 1918, which wiped out millions of people around the world.

Viruses adapt, they transmute and re-invent themselves over and over again, and they have rapid spans of many generations, all of which are wildly mutating with the flux as things go wonkier and wonkier.

The Coronavirus is working its way rapidly toward us, and it’s gaining momentum every single day, as the spread spirals out of control. Continue reading →

My Sailboat, “Titanic Too”

Uncategorized, , , , , , , , ,

Yes, the ship of state is soon to sail, and we’re the anchor they’ll cast off when they leave port. What I mean is, you’d better get your marketing together TODAY, or lose the chance forever. This day will last a thousand years — if you want it to (few want it to).

My little “Bandit” VIRTUAL SAILBOAT is already sailing around the Ashram and has been operating in these waters for several years now — I’m working on a water race course for sailors with Bandits. Believe it, the Bandit is the only sailboat worth owning in Second Life.

I’d like to introduce the idea of Particle Linkage. Look, you can get a Godd Particle from Uncle Claude, put it on your Ashram Avatar and you’re linked up. See? Continue reading →

Sleuthing a Painting

Uncategorized, , , , , , , , , , ,

I happen to own this piece pictured above — it’s “Rainy Afternoon on the Champs d’Elysee”, an oil on canvas possibly painted by Antoine Blanchard, an often-counterfeited and very famous and popular artists of the 1950s and 1060s.

Verifying his work is extremely hard. He was profoundly prolific, and thousands of his oil paintings now flood the market worldwide. Continue reading →

Autocracy Basics

Uncategorized, , , , , , , , ,

Suddenly overnight find yourself living in an Autocracy? Don’t know what to do, don’t know the right words, don’t know the right people?

First off, are you now, or have you ever been, a member of an organized political party? If you answer yes, you won’t have ever voted Democrat.

I’m taking  a few moments away from working out on my Gretsch guitele, which finally has some new strings, although I haven’t yet affixed them to same, so I can write and sing some more devastatingly hilarious folk songs about Trumplestiltskin, to write a letter to Rachel Maddow, expressing a concern that you might also have about your own situation, so here’s an Open Letter To Rachel Maddow (I posted an email directly to her desk as well):

Hi, Rachel! I’m now 78 years out of port, having seen a hell of a lot. I’m a pro writer (Galaxy SF magazine, OMNI and a host of tv spots, gags & treatments and some 50 books currently in print and actually selling now and then) and that’s what I’m writing about. It’s not fanmail, although I have to say that your show is the only one I NEVER miss. This sometimes causes astonishing and unexpected situations. On the writing front, like John Lithgow — and this is the only comparison I’m going to make — I HAD to write a book about Trump or bust, and I did. It’s titled “Trump is a Four-Letter Word”. I hope my grandkids don’t adopt the same linquistic style as our current white house clown and, yes, I know — elect a clown, you get a circus. Well, I wrote the book and put it up for sale in a variety of formats, some three years ago. Like any other writer exercising First Amendment Rights and Steamletting Procedures, I vented full and well, and the book sits waiting for that viral moment, for which I may or may not be here. I’m sitting here these days waiting for that knock on the door, and that’s the reason I’m writing you. You’re the closest living being to Sherlock Holmes I’ve ever seen in action, so tell me — how long do I have to wait for that midnight knock?– ej gold

Is there anything you’ve done lately that might come to the direct attention of Trump or one or more of his brown-shirt goons?

If so, you might be high up on his LIST. You know which list I mean — the one that Nixon also kept.

It used to be bipartisan time, but now, it’s Friend or Enemy.

If you aren’t on the top of the ENEMIES list, don’t worry — your time will come soon enough. Actually EVERYBODY is on his list — he wants to take the entire planet with him when he goes.

The Bardo is NOT a lonely place, if you have friends in high places.

Got a book in you that’s demanding to get out? Hey, why wait until you can’t do it any more??? Write it now.

Are you a member of Congress? This is the time to speak out while you still can.

Do you have a vote? If you don’t vote, you can’t complain.

See You At The Top!

Greatest Side Hustle for Planet Trump!

Uncategorized, , , , , , ,

What you’re looking at here is an 1826 Capped Liberty Bust Solid Silver Half Dollar SLABBED into a circular coin-friendly acrylic capsule and foam shockproofing, then mounted on a handpainted fibrecraft box, then cleverly daubed with glitter-glue.

DO THE MATH — This coin was made and issued in 1826, only 14 years after the War of 1812 when the British marched on, and burned, the White House, along with some of the city of Washington, until the rainstorm came along to stop it.

So where the hell are the British today? Are they any better off? Think about it! Only fourteen years after the war of 1812, and how many after the War of Independence, often incorrectly referred to as the “Revolutionary War”, just as “The War Between the States” is often quite wrongly called the “Civil War” — it was anything but civil.

We’re now on the eve of the Second Civil War, and I’m trying to get a handle on which coins will be collector’s items in the future — I only know of the few examples that have survived into the 37th century, which is where I actually am, communing with this ever-so-quaint  21st century SIM of Planet Earth which you call “The Real World”.

Pardon me, while I laugh. (ref: Twain, “Connecticut Yankee” op cit.)

There’s more to all this than meets the eye, but you need to know a little history in order to successfully collect, trade and/or deal coins, and if you’re making the coins into coin-topped snuff boxes, stash boxes, trinket boxes, notion boxes, collectible boxes or super-saturated overdecorated mini-treasure-chests, I have the answer.
