DEAD BABY ON A STRING
Bird dogs are trained by the hunter who attaches a dead bird, with a string, to a stick. The dead bird is then held just out of reach of the dog and the dog is made to jump for it. I am dangling a dead baby on a string.
THE METHOD IS THE MESSAGE
Control, control ..... Reward ...... Give you candy in little kids school ...... Only. If you do as you are told .... You are told "Learn to Count Money".....You are told "Learn Words - Capitalism, Pacifism".... Buy stuff, buy stuff, buy stuff"......First Candy, stickers and stars .... Pavlov Dogs ..... Later you will salivate .... When the capitalist dangle products in front of you ..... You .... Just a pavlovian dog .... Taught to salivate.....Conditioned to consume .... By the control people .... The people you loved .... in little school .....You loved them because you needed them for survival ...... They used you, abused you for their survival ..... Hear the bell ...... Salivating, Salivating ..... Pavlovian Dog ..... The method was the message.
DECLARATION OF THE ARTIST
I am the one and I am not ashamed.
I am the one that stenciled my hand on the cave wall 50,000 years ago.
Yes me, and I am not ashamed.
No, I am not a descendent of the one.
I am the one.
I am the one that saw the relationships between the stones on the wall and the images in my memory.
I am the one that had that creative impulse / thought / bio-electrical connection that caused me to place my own image on the wall.
Yes, I am the one that created.
No. I was not reborn again with each generation.
I am continuous.
The math formula in my mind or genetic trait that matched the images on the wall with the images in my mind and caused me to create a new image on the wall has been continuous for 50,000 years.
I am the one and I am not ashamed.
I am one.
I am continuous.
I am the creator and I am not ashamed.
