I was 28 years of age when I spoke the words to the
assertive outreach team at Antenna studios that became Madonna's White House
speech, performed at a woman's march.
I had been working as a Mentor for
Bromley Mind and it was a fortnight after the Italian-Jewish girlfriend I'd had
a sweet and romantic weekend with had called off the relationship, and I found
myself forlorn and bedraggled, unwashed with an unkempt beard.
I found myself in a situation where
former work colleagues instantly switched into an aggressive and antagonistic
evaluation mode that was routine practice for their assessment of patients. I
was asking if there was anything that could be done about the death threats
personally directed at me in David Bowie's albums. They were immediately alerted
and aroused.
In the midst of this open and hostile
opposition I found myself expressing future album titles and concepts, such as,
The Next Day, Blackstar, Lazarus, and the compilation album Nothing has
Changed. "I could turn myself into a symbol and be seen on CD covers in
every record store across the planet", I had said.
In 2005 I had said to a doctor,
"I'm always the night before", and "the album will be called The
Next Day".
At Antenna studios I pushed this idea
as an album title with a surface screen setting of the album theme being after
the recording of the album "Heroes" in Berlin. Where Are We Now was a
song title taken from the title of a poem I had published in my first book, and
I said Justin Case would be the name he will use in his first single from the
album. I called myself the Blackstar because many people may have heard the
Keep it Unreal album, but I wasn't famous, I was unseen and unknown. The song
was also recorded by a black singer, which the doctor thought satisfactorily
demeaned me.
For the online cave-wall to work, I
needed Madonna to speak some words at a woman's march event. I was 40 years of
age when the event commenced and the speech was spoken. I had forgotten almost
entirely having uttered the words, "I have thought a lot about blowing up
the White House, but I know this won't change anything" and, "I
choose love, are you with me?"
I had paid no attention to the singer
at all, she was a name I knew, an icon, someone I thought that liked to cause
controversy. I was convinced controversy was the evolutionary role function of
celebrities, I was aware however that they were also actors playing scapegoat
roles for the press in controlled media games.
In 2016 I played an online YouTube
stream of her album Rebel Heart and I didn't rate the album at all, I seemed to
recall thinking she had a dreadful sound, her songs sounded to me as though
they were sung for children, but the content wasn't at all suitable for
children. I posted images of her onto my Flickr account; one was next to an
ancient phallus.
I knew little about the singer, hadn't
followed her over the years, hadn't listened to her, hadn't read any
biographies, but over the last two years have come to learn a side of her that
seems to me entirely reprehensible. She has modelled her Instagram and Twitter
posts from my primary source stimuli posted onto social-media platforms.
Standing outside of the folly and naiveté of youth, I wish I had never become
involved with her.
When I first realised that the singer
was mirroring my online posts I thought it seemed like a bit of fun that may
last a week or two and even though I never drink alcohol I bought some beers
and a couple of grams of marijuana and in a kind of party atmosphere I posted
tweets that I knew she would be reading. Madonna only wanted one thing, a
trophy for her cabinet of awards, she wanted the Oscar. This I had seen in her
orange pants as she gave the speech which I watched moments before tweeting to
her, but I thought if she knew me I could bring her around. Her pursuit has
been criminal and unrelenting under full view and attention of the mainstream
press and governments.
It has seemed to me she has been cruel,
selfish, inhumane, she has contributed to wrecking an otherwise steady and
stable marriage of eight years, she has led me into jail, has subjected me to
constant threats of violence, she has driven me away from a job and a house in
the US to homelessness in the UK. She poses online wearing heavy gold necklaces
sporting cash in the hand. I live in poverty and in exile.
In my youth I studied art, and I tried
to be an artist. I abhorred war and the military. I painted and drew, but I was
never really talented enough for art school. I seemed to discover however that
some of my artwork seemed to have a magical effect. The first of these that I
seemed to notice was a long sleeved green T-shirt given to me by my Nan that
was the same shade of green I had painted earlier in the week on a figure on my
bedroom wall. I stood with green sleeve touching green design. I didn't use the
word magic; I just thought it seemed interesting.
After the famous artists, surrealists,
impressionists, futurists, Dadaists I began to become interested in ancient
art, cave art and I would paint shamanic figures on my walls.
In April 2017 whilst living in an
apartment in the United States I discovered images of Mexican cave paintings
and I posted them onto my public Facebook page.
The US government were observing my
online posts on account of Madonna snitching on me to the FBI after the
controversy she had caused. The president had called the speech,
"Disgusting!" and the White House interpreted the Mexican cave art
and the stone cross circle on the mound as men in caves and a landing site for
a bomb drop. On the night of the 12th of April I posted the triple horn of Odin
symbol and the next day on the 13th of April this became the MOAB that was
alleged to have been dropped on men in caves in Afghanistan as reported by the
world-stage media.
I was devastated, totally shattered
inside, for several days I believed that I was responsible for the deaths of 96
human lives in the Middle East. This wasn't what I was about. I was a pacifist.
The media presented Russia flexing its
might with the father of all bombs which was said to be more deadly than the
mother.
Upon further study of the MOAB articles over the week I realised that
the event had been a dreadful hoax, fake news, a hoodwink for the masses and
temporarily myself.
