War On Reality
Crackpot Gulag: Peopling a Refugee Camp for Lost Ideals, Broken Odes and What's Real
On this day, Tuesday, April 6 2021, I had the weekly hour-long phone call with the Editorial Angel of the Bored, Lynn Lockhart. People have often asked me what we talk about.
She gives me some current news and if I am interested—usually not—I'll ask for a link. Mostly I try and make her laugh.
I ask her for sources on historic research I am conducting.
She updates me on her publication schedule.
I update her on my writing schedule.
The rest of the conversation is about what I can't write, and if I write it anyway, where will it be posted?
This is why I stopped the Crackpot Podcast, to keep the Lady from getting in trouble and to stop a cascade of censorship attacks.
Then I have to check on what words have been tabooed out of this language.
These various editorial conversations have increasingly become about how not to get censored.
This has resulted in a booby-trapping of our shared language to the point where I have to use made up words like blick, blew, Brovid Jiveteen, vaxsheen and so on, all in an attempt to throw the automated thought hounds off my scent.
What is more worrisome—I think crackpottery is contagious. The Lady seems to be afflicted with a need to dig through the basement of lies that support our sham society. I need a lifeboat of unjust thought and she needs an operating room to conduct the moral autopsy of the corpse of Western Civilization.
So, Lynn and I agreed to start yet another platform where posts that might bring down our major platforms might be posted. This will require a paywall, with this article the only thing in front of it.
Behind the Ethereal Wire of the Crackpot Gulag will be:
-Lynn's dissection of the lies that are the missiles in the War on Reality
-Hard questions from the editor answered to the best of my ability without regard to censorship concerns.
-Transcripts of our editorial discussion.
-The conclusions of the various short novels Lynn has serialized on other platforms.
As the world turns and slithers terribly this way in its ravenous War on Reality, hopefully the Crackpot Gulag will be a refuge for you too.
You know, while we're WAITING for the refugee camp here to receive supplies, we COULD spend our time talking about JL .... I'm sure there are some interesting opinions ....
I've missed the Crackpot podcast, so this is a welcomed announcement! Especially
now that I have so many concerns to ask about, since we're currently being invaded by transplants from blue states.
