I notice that it has been quite a while, indeed, nearly two years, since last I posted hereon. As I am a writer and an obviously prolific one, that is a tragedy and travesty without question and without end-just as that is a flagrant, flamboyant exaggeration without question and without end. Still, it's been a while, and even longer in writerly terms, and in the writerly terms of writerly time. Time passes different for writers and writings, and I would think the yellowing of the average manuscript in record time would indicate that. Withal & all jokes and sarcasm and self-mockery aside, I am belatedly back, a returner and appreciator of all that is good and abundant....I guess.
I want, however, to merely deliver a slight "lecture" on a certain kind of free speech-suppression that is going on these days, especially for the private citizen who, like myself, fancies himself or wishes to be a writer or has some reportorial or writerly bent to himself and his inner-workings. That is, I have found that I can not say whatever I wish on my blogs, and to be truly protected from the possibilities of obloquy, censure, restraint and the negative effects of legality/litigation/legislation, I must either be as general as possible, or omit outright, or indulge in that seventeenth century pastime: journaling. That is, I must write all my most private and specific things in a journal. Which, with regard to privacy, makes sense, but specificity is a different matter and true reportage regarding myself is an issue, too.
I am involved in a situation now, about which I can, for my own safety, mention nothing, that proves to me fully the impotence of myself vis a vis the public and the monstrous machine of justice, forensics, etc. Justice, as it seems to me, is lacking greatly in this (once-) great republic of ours......especially is justice lacking for one of the most truly oppressed groups, which the vast intolerance of the hypocritically, "in-name-only" tolerant will not allow to be published here or elsewhere, for they are intolerant and fractious and liars and hypocrites. Thus, due to their assumption of an undeserved and outrageously potent (almost omnipotent) power, one must keep silent about certain plaguy, rubbishy trends...trends that stink and are rank and foul and mean to overthrow the last resisters to the irresistible rule of collective madness and of media-manipulation, truth-manipulation and inveracious corruption, but also of invasiveness, of infiltration, of falsity and the prevalence and distribution of that. The vast hideous apparatus of those who seek to come to full, unquestioned power, and a global triumph, as it seems; this apparatus has revealed itself.
Regardless of my current victimization at the hands of various people who mean to distort the truth and suppress the full freeness of free speech, and the liberty that I mean and deserve to exercise as freely as I wish under the aegis of the law, but not all law is wholesome, true, right, just or libertarian...still, regardless of that, I have no idea what else to say, this post being largely extemporaneous and as such, not subject to overmuch self-censoriousness or expurgation.
Yet, some of this year, and some of this month, this waning, dying month, have proven to be one of my worst-yet, and the worst also, apparently, for all lovers of truth, rightness, freedom, justice, TRUE perception, reality, logic, and liberty...not to mention free speech. Normally, only specific and dangerous physical threats, slander or libel constitute measures by which to suppress and infringements of freedom of speech that are legal. And, those being especially hideous, that is fine. Yet, the impossibility of mentioning certain things due to a markedly worshipful respect that others foist on one that borders on not only insanity or fanaticism, and is, in this case, wholly illogical, but also that appears to be the modern foundation of false worship. Especially, it is a hideous, coercive form of worship that enslaves the unfortunate victim and makes him (but very seldom her) the thrall and pawn of it. It is the worshipfulness foisted on some by the state.......and, if I may ramble on and digress, what is the essential, key difference between a "state" and a "province"? This I began to wonder last night. And thus does one have an example of the fluid, subject-changing, whimsical, stream-of-consciousness style in which I, especially in various nonfiction writings, heartily indulge, yet rarely employ half as much in fictive writings. Well, I don't know what to say beyond that, the whole point of this post being to update my blog and keep it fresh.
