They Told Me And I Said

RAMANAM
In the Name of The Father, and of The Son and of The Holy Spirit, Amen.

Countrymen,

Roger Shinn told me “You will not have a career. “ I said to him, “No sir,  you will not.”

Tom Driver told me, “You will not graduate from this Seminary.”  I said to him, “No sir, you will not.”

Robert Theobald told me, “You dropped out.”  I said to him, “No sir, you did.”

Gerry Duncan told Swami that I am a bad man.  Swami said to her, “No, no, very good man, very pure heart.”  I was there.

Gerry Duncan told Swami that I do not work.  Swami said to her, “No, very hard worker.”  I was there.

Gerry Duncan told me, “Baba says you are a good man, but I do not see it.”  I said to her, “Pull your head out of your ass and stick it on top of your shoulders where it belongs.”

“India Supera” told me, “We are all one.”  I said to her, “You do not know what you are talking about.”

Gary Sagar told me, “You were kicked out of the club.”  I said to him, “No sir, you were.”

Christiana Graham told me, “You are on your own.”  I said to her, “No ma’am, you are.”

Cassandra Peterson told me, “You are trying to destroy the West Point Parents Club of Washington.”  I said to her, “No ma’am, you are.”

Update 1: In May 1970 I was in Phoenix, soon to move to Wickenburg, researching a book for Robert Theobald: Habit and Habitat.  Before the book completed and was published (1972), Theobald ripped up my research (January 1971), literally, telling me no one would believe it.

My source was The New York Times.

I parted brass rags with Bob, informed the editor, asking him to remove my name from the project and book, and renounced claim to royalties.  My part of the advance was not recalled because I completed my work.  Bob published the volume under his name with glancing inclusion of my research.

I was as interested in anti-war protests then as I am now: zero.  Never struck me as more than small-potatoes intrinsically and extrinsically mostly glandular turbulence.  And, for a steadily increasing number of drug-addled visionaries, anti-war protests embodied lefties’ well-led (by KGB for one reason, CIA for another) brazen and ruthless march against Christian culture.  That march, then and still — not anti-war protests — strikes me as big-potatoes.

And incidentally, industrial and agricultural pollution in 1970 also was big-potatoes.  It was so big it presented lefties with a target opportunity they could not possibly fail to miss or exploit.  I had documented a book’s-worth of it.
