A handful of posts and early freestyle writings from my time in America formulated my book: World Piss’ The Spore of the Woids. Last year in (2009) this project morphed into SHANNANIGUMS WAVE. Now available at Lulu, and partly at wordspore.blogspot.While living in New Orleans I started the poem TRANE YOURSELF: a homage to John Coltrane, inspired by Jazz ployrhythms and African American culture. A theme in my early poems crafted in America, while living in New Orleans, New York, and the Bay Area, surrounded by awe inspiring music and artists.

CS is for Cyber-$wine Flu
UK CYBERSWINE FLU EPIDEMICDELL and the Police are going into business. Lord Carter, CAW CAW CAW Digital Government Business! As Ezra Pound wrote “Who distributes it, how” Information! D.I.G.I.T.A.L – ambiguous like Claude Shannon and NTL.Digital ways to extend the reach and accuracy of killingry, weaponry, and disinformation Warfare. Digital Warfare. Urban. All pervasive information warfare. Digital Analogue. Pirates fight like Samauri or Ronin – lone rangers, discordian immortals, drunken, always On. NO more cyberlaws and restrictions and government interference.
How can we trust The Government men and women, who have hindered, blocked, slowed down and trickled down Information. Lying, stealing and cheating their way into positions of government, Using and abusing Government status to further private interests, telecommunications Banking, Arms and pharma – all wrapped up in a giant syringe, the ultra junky.gov Power, control and distribution mixed in a toxic cocktail, a red hot Heroin hit in the eyeball.
Fuckin’ DELL! Lord! and the Forensic Police and curse you and your total information awareness program. Lordy, Lordy Lordy, would you look at that! What of Lord Carter and the Brunswick Group – EMI, B.P, British Airways and B.T Group? No Shit, he worked for NTL on broadband police work, and even went to Harvard And what of OFCOM and what of NTL?
Why would the people of Great Britain, Or anywhere take any of the Digital Britain report seriously, just glancing at Lord Carter’s file? Have we just witnessed an attempted U.S style telecommunications coo by the info-Tzar?
The RIAA, the British Government and DELL are all making threats to the consumer. And the sick sound of suited monkeys talking about Digital Knowledge and Culture. The Tzarist Occupation government is passing judgement on video games and Cannabis.
The Government that sent the entire British culture and economy into illegal war Bowing to the commands from Washington, and wasting Trillions of public Pounds wants Us to take them seriously when proposing we trust them to distribute our digital information What Government Tzar?
Of what secret order, what rank, can ordain the mighty information? EVERYTHING can be thought of as information, and information permeates everything everyware. All this talk of pirates and nobody mentions the great Pirates, as Buckminster Fuller calls them, The sea-faring, robber-barrons of industry and technology who stole our collective cultural Inheritance and sold it to the highest bidder – Sony, General Motors, Universal-Vivendi, Monsanto, J.P Morgan, NTL, and on and on, just read the paper, see the stocks and bonds – the great LOOT!
Ministry of Information.As Minister for Communications, Technology and Broadcasting in the U.K Government Lord Carter Might have read Finnegans Wake by James Joyce, easily the greatest broadband network poem. Or maybe not, maybe he reads white papers on current DARPA research, police forensics etc. I speculate that he does, and this worries me, as a consumer and artists and as a poet i must sing.
NO, LOOK:
“Mr Brown had high hopes for Lord Carter, formerly the chief executive of the City PR firm Brunswick, where he earned a reported £500,000 salary. The Prime Minister was delighted when he agreed to serve as his chief of strategy and principal adviser for just £140,000 a year. — http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/politics/article6481851.ece
On BLOOMSDAY 2009: the UK Gov. Lead by Carter, produced a report called Digital Britain. James Joyce wrote:… “He held the bowl aloft and intoned:”
Pirate Utopia?
I love Great Britain, my family and friends and everyone over there, and i want the best information Rich environment and culture for them, where open source democracy and co-operative collabs. Replacing a single Tzarist tyranny dictated by a business lawyer media savvy gangster and his P.C! The consumer dictates the future now, and the consumer landscape is eating you, oh Lord, Lord.
But, not just for Britain but for Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Europe, America, India, Africa, The Middle EastChina, South America, Australia, Indonesia, Siberia, Russia, Antartica, The Moon, Mars, Saturn and beyond.Information shall travel everywhere in all directions in ever increasing increments. Just try and stop it.
Oh Lord, Try to control the digital disinformation campaign, make it just for you and your lords, M.P’s and Forensic detectives. Spare the community spaces and places that wish to use the network for art, poetry.Surprise. And please, Lord, understand that the Pirate is growing a long beard, waiting to strike, as pirates.Aha, aha, ahaaaaaaaaaaaa…….

TTOTT is for The Tale of the Tribe: v1.0
The Tale of the Tribe. [TOTT.]
An ambiguous and widely missunderstood grouping of FIVE words, or four if you miss off THE’
I think the phrase “A Poem including History” works as a helpful pointer. Finnegans Wake and the Cantos’
Are each “The Tale of the Tribe” in their respective ways. “Illuminatus! Trilogy” too!
These 3 texts when considered together may constitute a triangular structure, from which RAW’s TOTT SHINE most
Brightly?
Also the book by Michael Berstein [1980] “The Tale of the Tribe: The Modern verse epic of Ezra Pound.”
Steers us once more toward uncle [EZ] who with [JJ] become the two primary exhibitors of
RAW’s TOTT. [which i figure is NOT his final published book “email to the Universe”, but something much bigger
woven and threaded throughout his books, and sombunall of his literary influences, an invisible landscape. ]
So what i refer to as [RAW’s TOTT], as opposed to anybody else’s idea or conception/perception
of the TOTT remains something we have yet to define. But he left us many clues. [rising drums and Cello’s]
Maybe it requires a total revision of RAW’s entire catalogue
With the new TOTT gloss, [best condensed at the back of his bookTSOG]
To move closer to lifting this great ball of TOTT crystal IMHO.
…the alphabet vs. the equation….?
…language as Class Warfare…?
Here’s a condensed paragraph from RAW, giving us
Further clues:**I hereby acknowledge the debts my works owe to Remy de Gourmont,
for his method of dissociation of ideas, to Alfred Korzybski, for his
formulations of general semantics; to Richard Bandler, for his
invension of neurolinguistic Programming; to Buckminster Fuller for his
synergetics, to Claude Shannon and Norbert Weiner for their studies of
control and communication between animals and/or machines; and to
Ezra Pound for Ideogrammic Method.
None of them deserve any blame for my errors or blunders.** -Robert Anton Wilson, email to the Universe.I would like to echo Bob’s sentiment here, as he does not deserve any blame for my earaws or blunterz.
!And here we have a neat introduction to [RAW’s TOTT]compiled by the sparkling MLA.
“==Tale of the Tribe==
The first of Wilson’s MLA courses bridging the political,
the social and the psychological, [[Tale of the Tribe]] promises to be a landmark
journey with our dear Dr. Bob. Starring **Giordano Bruno, Giambatista Vico,
Friederich Nietzsche, Ernest Fenollosa, Ezra Pound, Alfred Korzybski,
James Joyce, Buckminster Fuller, Claude Shannon** and **Marshall McLuhan** —
the nucleus of the extraordinary minds that have helped shape the
information age of 21st century and the mindscape of **Robert Anton Wilson.**
Join Wilson as he explores the themes, minds and ideas of his forthcoming book, The Tale of the Tribe.–A.A MLA Admin.And here is a question by BOB,
from the back of his book TSOG: The thing the ate the constitution,That i think crystalizes RAW’s TOTT,
And deserves DAILY revision…What do Giordano Bruno, Giambatista Vico,
Friedrich Nietzsche, Ernest Fenollosa, Ezra Pound
Alfred Korzybski, James Joyce, Buckminster Fuller,
Claude Shannon, Marshall Mcluhan and Internet all have in
common? You”ll find out. -TSOG.I have started doing this new work, condensing the nodle clusters
From RAW’s work’s [the names of the characters to begin with]
And started arranging them in different ways. [having searchable source’s has greatly inspired this posting]
I feel that i have stepped over/through some boundaries in some sense,
By cutting bits from RAW’s writing and sticking them together. [byte-ing RAW]
But, with the strictest supervision, and with a community who can FEEDBACK
with each other while doing so, we can basically continue RAW’s work,
And study his structure, technique and methods?
In some sense this new work of mine is nothing more than a collection of Robert Anton Wilson quotes.
But unlike any other collection of RAW quotations,
This one focuses on RAW’s Tale of the Tribe, the historical characters,
who “make it new”.
I hope the MLA, TRIBE, and everybody else can join this great
Work in conception/perception.
But for me this is just the beginning, the bare bones, an historical
Kind of invetigation. [phase I]
I wish for audio/visual components, and hyperlinking which help
Make the words NEW.
Maybe email is the best way to work this out in the initial stages?

Stourbridge 2.0 (A letter to the Stourbridge News)
I was very sad reading my local rag last week. So sad that i started to write a letter to the paper and the people of Stourbridge, a letter to reach out and communicate. Peace comes of Communication said Ezra Pound.
And here comes everybody
PeaceAcrilliQ
We will see if it gets published at all, i’ll feedback as soon as i hear or see anything.
Stourbridge News Website feat. the inspirations for this letter.
[Title = “Stourbridge 2.0”
Dear Stourbridge and The Stourbridge News.
In these shattered times, i often turn to the Stourbridge News for information and knowledge about Stourbridge and its surrounding area, to get the swing of whats going on locally. It often makes me smile and sometimes sigh. Last week your printed pages made me literally cry.
I might have cry’d because i was feeling sensitive or maybe i cry’d because of the powerful combination of articles and letters published with such a compelling political aura? Politics or a kind of political commentary always appears in your paper, its literally full of it, but last week it was jam packed full with such powerful politics. I just welled up, “Jesus” i thought, i need to communicate more. So this is how i propose to help. With a new idea. Stourbridge 2.0The Stourbridge News LTD. now has a web site that publishes selected stories and letters (And hopefully this letter), and for the first time in History has the wonderful added bonus of a feedingback function. (although very primitive as web feedback technology goes) None the less, its much like the printed letters section of the actual paper paper itself but on an “open” public computer network. This network is still under moderation by your editing board, so i assume your capable of keeping a scholarly, balanced and democratic environment. Equal to any News Services goal of objectivity, fairness and equality when representing information to the public.
I was upset and frustrated partly because of the tragically wasted opportunity for a real community service, a real democratic interactive political environment; an interactive democratic Stourbridge based forum to discuss the most important issues facing us today. Maybe featuring various models of politics (from the Greens, BNP, Liberal Dem’s, Labor, Conservatives, Independents etc), Various economic models, various models of community activities in progress, all in various models of communication: (Multimedia – Video, Audio, Text), various models of Government, various models of anything you fancy? Anything the PEOPLE fancy or wish to discuss that they feel strongly enough about. To quote a popular phrase “We have the Technology”. But do we have the collective will power?
A closed circuit attitude towards the electronic integration of “Stourbridge” into the World Wide Web of Globalization and Global Communication can only stifle our culture. If Dudley is introducing electronic voting systems for example, then where’s the electronic public feedback forum? You can’t have one without the other brother. Just 23 Megabytes of feedback space for each voter, at a conservative guess, would suffice. Imagine an electronic democratic forum for voters to have THEIR say about WHAT they are voting for, and to provide THEIR alternatives? You better imagine faster because the whole world is waiting, a whole “Other” world. Who knows, more people might come to visit Stourbridge who never heard of it, so helping the businesses which seem to be in need of more custom.
I ask of Stourbridge or the gentle readers of the Stourbridge News – why have they (The Council, Newspapers, Political Parties, Major Corporations) NOT joined together on the internet yet? with a PUBLIC FEEDBACK Forum for us, your subjects, your workers? and not just e-mail and private use of the Global internet communications available in 2007, why, not as yet have they created an interactive community forum, integrating both the local community, businesses, education centers and POLITICAL think tanks, and, the non-local “World Wide Web” all together? Why not a Public open feedback forum?
Not forgetting the Stourbridge News itself. In fact the Stourbridge News would have to be the hub, the nest if you like from which this inevitable communications revolution will remerge as if by magic to those people with insufficient technological awareness of Globalization, Internet 2.0 and the long lost and ancient bones of what a political democracy IS: An Open society with multiple models, open debate, free criticism, free speech and freedom of the press, right to assembly etc. Healthy fast FEEDBACK!
What i propose then, considering my own shock and terror after reading your articles last week that resulted in much emotional drama is a “Public forum” based around Stourbridge News .COM, but maybe opening up the editorial to different public groups like the local Churches and Learning Institutions for example, why not LINK us all up together or at least allow for those who would like to Link LINK, at least temporarily, at least.
I figure if enough people vote that this is a good idea and vote for it to be implemented, then its pretty easy to add such a “forum” section to your website, which incidentally already has NETWORK Links to all of the major Council, Media, Political Parties, Major Corporations active in and around Stourbridge. Who knows if we pray the .Gov might have some funding for you to set this all up? IMHO this “Forum” is exactly what they should provide THE PEOPLE with. When we have such political emergencies to deal with, and we have many political emergencies to deal with.
A slogan i like that outlines good internet etiquette is that if your can’t achieve tolerance at least attempt a little courtesy. I often wish political councillors could understand this phrase, in the non-internet world.
