This is Iowa, where all the cucumbers are strong, all the tomatoes are good looking, and all the bell peppers, are above average.

The American Dream.

We're screaming one morning on a changing table.

We look up and there it is, all around us.

Faces and TVs, toasters, ice makers, toast.

From then on it never stops.

We are living in the dream. We are it. It is us.

There is no getting out of the dream.

Unless we make ourselves wake up.


I submit that the American Dream is not real.

I don't know any more about what really has happened in our history than you do, but I do believe we have been lied to at various times.

That is grand theft.

A theft of our identity.

We don't even know who we are because we cannot decipher fact from fiction in our history books.

I think we need to ask more questions. We need to be more curious and not accept what rich men and women tell us is the truth just because we equate riches with accomplishment, worth and knowledge.

We need to fight hard for the truth. What else do we have.

How can we go another day without really knowing what the hell is going on?

_____________________________

Forget about the car bomb fire in Glasgow and the alleged car bombs in London.

They are CIA disinformation projects designed to ultimately bring about dictatorial powers for George Bush and Dick Cheney, via the recent presidential directive whereby Bush game himself total power in the case of a national emergency.

And then there's the looming invasion of Iran.

There are those who say this government is too stupid to pull off this kind of stuff, or that they are incapable of such evil.

I think Dick Cheney and Karl Rove and probably nine guys we don't even know about are plenty smart to do this, and also to kill Paul Wellstone and pull off the 911 attacks, as well as a hundred things we don't even know about.

I think there is no question they have it in their hearts to commit murder.

They shed no tears over the thousands of American and Iraq citizens killed in their nonsense, made-up war over oil.

This is what I believe.

You believe what you want.

That is your right. Do it. Go for it.

Do not believe what I want you to believe, or what George Bush or Dick Cheney or some CIA drone robot reporter on "The Nightly News" wants you to believe.

Be a beacon, a light of hope shining from the rocks out into the night.

One of a thousand points of light leading the prison bus on to Leavenworth packed with members of the Bush family, handcuffed and shackled.

Please.

We will always be able to believe what we want.

God Bless America.

We may not always be able to say what we want or write what we want.

But deep within each soul and heart and mind will always be a refuge of hope and compassion and reason and spirit and humor and life.

For now we are able to say what we want. It is important to do that so we keep the right.

My current bumper stickers say:

- Impeach Bush
- Jail Bush
- 911 Was An Inside Job

I feel those messages do some good toward moving this huge effing ship with my one chipped, weathered oar toward some unseen port of good hope.

- At each stop sign or red light, and when I get passed on the highway or when I pass someone.

- When I park on the street at home.

- When I park on the street at work in one of the most conservative little towns in the universe.


Some folks might say, hell, yes, this Bush bunch is a gang of criminals, but let's just get out of Iraq, focus on that.

Nah.

Let's get out of Iraq and solve this legacy thing.

I need to know what our true history is.

Or else lets just not have high school history books.

Is it ironic that Oswald was supposed to be in a window of the building that distributes these things to schools all over the country?

Why should a teacher spend her whole lifetime devoted to spreading lies.


Because we have no help from the regular media, we might not get to the bottom of this until Bush and Cheney are out of office or dead.

But to know that Cheney, Bush, Rove, and Rumsfeld's mutated lizard spawn will have to live each and every moment of their seemingly endless, dreary, desperate, inconsequential, horrid little lives with the knowledge that the world knows the truth about their serpent-tongue family ... is at least ... well ... it's just got to make you smile ... no matter who you are.



Lots of people know about the basics of the 911 Truth movement, but lots more do not.

If you are interested, just fyi:

If you want, Google these: Loose Change, 911 Truth, 911 Blogger, David Ray Griffin, William Rodriguez, 911 Press for Truth, Dr. Steven Jones, Kevin Barrett.

In my novel "Looking For Bigfoot" an Iowan named Jack Robert King - an underground radio announcer - takes off for Oregon to "find Bigfoot," to find the truth about America and all its myths and lies.

Jack wants to find out if this is a great country - or what.

I have been fortunate lately to be invited on a few radio shows for interviews in Sante Fe, Sioux Falls, Vancouver, Madison.

Over the years I have been invited onto shows with Karen Kwiatkowski, Greg Szymanski, Black Op Radio, Kevin Barrett, A'Jamal Byndon.

Also Arts Magazine on WBAI radio, New York City.

At first I was not too excited about doing that, or talking to people on a book tour. I wanted to be Joe Author sitting at home with the world stopping by every now and then to kiss his ring.

But nobody came and they kept on not coming.

And I found out it's kind of fun to get out of the compound once in awhile and talk to people.

I'll be on "Radio Active Lunch" July 4th.

I received this very nice email note inviting me.

Pretty cool.
