RAW in particular was fascinated by how poets and novelists and other artists could produce work that seemed to predate actual historical events in the space-time continuum. <br /><br />Or: maybe you're right. <br /><br />Have you sifted through what was newly declassified about the JFK hit? <br /><br />Good luck with your book.

I have published all that I know about Condon's attempted "mind leak" or evidence leak about the perpetrators behind the JFK plot in JFK, THE FINAL SOLUTION on Amazon and Kindle. They include James Jesus Angleton, Ray Steiner Cline, Wm. F. Buckley, Jr., Robert Morris, Charles Willoughby and several others. And I only recently discovered the Wilson and Thornley connections to the JFK plot in fact. I am 100% serious about this in fact. Anyone who buys the Amazon book and does not agree with my interpretation of the Condon clues to those behind the plot and their identities will get a 100% refund of the purchase price upon request.

I want to read Wodehouse's Code of the Woosters and finish rereading Leave It to Psmith and Psmith in the City.<br /><br />Yes, you can come along to Alexandria, etc.<br /><br />I remember the day I learned Phil Dick had died. I felt angry with God for the only time in my life. I knew Phil's books would appear on grocery store shelves in a few months when the film Blade Runner came out and Phil would get success such as he had never had before.<br /><br />I remember getting turned off by some Phil Dick interviews because of what I perceived as some of his beliefs. Then I'd read another interview and perceive very different beliefs. It seems he would experiment with different belief systems in a different way than Bob Wilson did. It think he metaprogrammed himself in a way that made his writing unique.

Thanks for mentioning it.<br /><br />I really like the idea that we have to work the stories surrounding conspiracy-theory events for ourselves. It's vastly underrated, this notion of trying to make sense for ourselves rather than listening/reading some Expert, and deciding, "Well, he seems well-spoken, I guess he's probably right..." Or "Yep: I'm convinced (Mafia/CIA/Cubans/Russians/Dallas fascists/occult forces led by E. Howard Hunt, etc) really were a bunch of scoundrels...it was Them!"<br /><br />I favor the model agnosticism in which you very consciously say what your current #1 model is and why. Followed by your 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th...and why.<br /><br />"Sinkhole Experience" seems a good name for a rock band. I see those stories and am flooded by existential dread symptoms. It's enough to make me look forward to the day when I can buy a 3-D printer for $39 at the mall, print out an Invisibility Cloak for $29, and...get lost.michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13526042582094867513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1178284085080580526.post-69287141565127592192013-12-01T04:05:32.655-08:002013-12-01T04:05:32.655-08:00Eric-

You called it a Wodehouse Field Effect, or WC Field Effect. I remember telling that to a friend who liked Wodehouse and he thought it was hilarious...anyway...yea, PKD effects are really strong for me too. When you get an extra surge of adrenaline (modulated by other nice things, like dopamine) going from some event, it tends to burn itself into neural structures of memory far more vividly than "ordinary" experiences/periods.<br /><br />That's why everyone talks about "Where were you on 9/11 or JFK or when Janet Jackson's wardrobe malfunction happened..." And you ask people this stuff and they will tell you how they heard, what the weather was like that day, what their general state of health was, how they felt, what they ate, precise data about who they talked to that day, how their lives were disrupted, etc.<br /><br />For each PKD novel I've read, I have stories (that last for 5-9 days, or as long as it took for me to read the PKD novel.

(Man, I'd forgotten how Phil messed with my head.) I imagined the CIA set up blocking fields to prevent astral projectors from discovering what really happened in Dallas on Nov. 22, 1963, as well as the massive shield preventing us from discovering the truth about Antarctica as H.

It's almost nothing but "Oswald acted alone and if you think others were involved you're a nutty JFK Truther" now. <br /><br />Then why withhold gvt. docs on it until 2017? <br /><br />I don't know who did it. I have strong suspicions Oswald was in on it. I have lesser suspicions that he didn't know who he was aligned with. I have only rifled through Bugliosi's 1500 page book. Same with Posner's less-adipose tome. My intuition about Posner has been, since I saw him on TV and in talks: I don't trust him. Anthony Summers's book makes the most sense to me, but I've only read about 1/1000 of all the JFK assassination books. I think RFK, George Wallace and MLK are all very instructive and ought to inform what happened before. I think COINTELPRO and now the NSA, Patriot Act, Iran-Contra, the fact that the Unsitat gummint/FBI only officially admitted that the Mafia existed on Nov.14, 1957...etc, etc, etc....instructive. But I don't KNOW.<br /><br />I love RAW's riff regarding this: why do all these educated people accept conspiracies/assassinations in other countries and other times, but when you talk about Murrrka? No way! We're special. OR: Thou shalt not think of conspiracies because you might anger the "god" (academic dept. head?)...and aye, besides the comedies, Shakespeare is a MAJOR C-Theorist, eh?

(He recently published a piece at Bill Moyers's site on the basic illiteracy of the public that I found pretty devastating.) I also appreciate Zygmunt Bauman's takes on the postmodern condition. What I am is LAZY in doing what I'd planned to do from the start: periodically replace one thinker (over there---->) with someone else. <br /><br />As I was writing to a friend today: my sense of "time" seems to have passed out of currency in the last 15 yrs. There are days when I don't even check my email. And I'm not on FB, Twitter, or any social network. (I did somehow get a Google + thing, I'm not sure how or why, and a guitar student asked me to recommend his skills on Linked In, so I joined just to do that. And then, as I say, I'm lazy.)<br /><br />I think after JFK security for the Prez got more elaborate and sophisticated. But then...Reagan got shot. Earlier than that, Squeaky the Mansonoid got within a few feet of Gerald Ford and managed to miss. It could be modeled mathematically along chaos: you go for decades w/o an assassination, then, like earthquakes on small astroid impacts: you get clusters of them in small periods of time. I can see two Prezs in a row getting knocked off, but it's all speculation. I don't want anyone shot, I'm just saying there will always be shooters (lone or within a conspiratorial network) who just gotta do it. Or try.michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13526042582094867513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1178284085080580526.post-41895723029253484562013-11-25T19:56:43.912-08:002013-11-25T19:56:43.912-08:00Great piece.

It saddened me that I didn't see any intelligent presentation of any theories other than the lone gunman theory. I usually really enjoy Bill Maher's show, but on Nov. 22 he and guest posited psychological reasons why people would favor "conspiracy theories." <br /><br />Sigh. People work together sometimes.
