Scottish pantheistic vegetarians, we were constant subject of humiliation, abuse
and prey at the hands of the mighty Christian barons like yourself, sheriff and…“
“How do you dare, you marshes dog!” cries the sheriff: “Christian archers, give
them a lesson!” and the heavy threads of a flogger starts mercilessly falling on
the helpless bodies of the Kyoto Treaty adorers, vegetarian and pansexual peasants
Robin Hood and maid Marian.
“Cut! Cut!” the directors’ voice calls and the action stops on the medieval dungeon
set, lights are turned on – yes, the dungeon of Nottinghamshire, times of King John,
that far the quest for some smiling Russian nesting dolls can drive some passionate
collectors of folk art!
Yet, apparently the artistic vision guiding this Robin Hood production didn’t
believe in cultural cross-pollination, the S&M medieval set is decorated strictly
with grim, me-dieval Anglo/ Saxon/Norman appointments, no need for Slavic, peasantish,
merry figu-res here (and for their five hundred millions dollars worth of content)
– so, as now the dungeon set is invaded by tech people and the Nottingham Forest
drama actors are tended by their maintenance staff, Anna, Brian and Nick, your friends
and neighbors and professional losers, are quietly extricating themselves from a
crowd of idling, horned-helmets-men-at-arms, halberds and cans of coke in their hands,
anxiously wat-ching how Don Lorenzo, mister Potapovich, Toby and Ossy are already
leaving the very same sound-stage from behind a group of jolly friars and fair maids
awaiting for their moment in this oppression drama.
“Another objective of the New American University is to instill in the truth-seeking
youth the sense of historical empowerment, of providing the truth-seeking youth with
a clear road map for their racial and cultural fulfillment,” serenely a monitor screen
is delivering – “The American white man is the greatest murderer on the face of earth!
The American white race is the cancer of the world!” from another screen someone
complements – up, in the monitors room in the tower’s top, the loud, furious, pro-nouncement
makes Jim Ignatowsky again stop cleaning the carpet.
“The American white man is the greatest murderer on the face of earth and his
Armageddon has come!” – now with the eyes at a monitor screen on which a furious,
foamy mouthed panelist is yelling, Jim Ignatowsky stands up:
“The American white race is the cancer of the world! Listen to what Susan Sontag
said! The American white man is the greatest murderer on earth! The American white
race is the race of crime, abuse, rape and devastation! Now listen, American white
male! You’re a dwindling race, American white male! You’re dead, American white male!
We won the war, American white male! And we’re better races, American whi-te male!
Your children have flat feet, need eye-glasses and want to be anything but white,
American white male! We’re taking your American white females, white male! And they
gonna follow our troops, American white male! And we gonna use your American white
females to suck our dicks and eat our cum three at a time, American white male! That’s
gonna be the job of your American white mothers, white sisters and white daughters,
American white male! Then we gonna throw you all in the oce-an, American white male,
to see you swim back to Europe from where our friends Arabs will kick you back in
the ocean, and so it will happen with all your gooey dege-nerated American white
breed, white male! The entire planet hates you, white American male and the day of
your extinction is closer and closer!”
“Susan Sontag got it right – America’s the planet’s blight!” on the monitor screen
the talk-show’s audience is chanting: “Susan Sontag got it right – America’s the
pla-net’s blight!”

the ‘Jeremy Mimmer’s Los Angeles TV Network & Cable Production Opportunities Workshop’
mister Mimmer is sweating enthusiastically as his audience is taking notes:
“You can do more, folks! Concept! Concept! High Concept! Log line! Log line!
Murdered mothers, planning to murder your mother, and busting America is the hot-test
sale these years! So, murdered mothers, be it testimonial, gore, cathartic, what-ever
stuff you got, go for it! Do it, folks, murdering mothers is the thing, cable and
networks will throw at you with money – look what car I drive; you can have one,
too!”
“I am mad like hell and I don’t take it anymore! Murder your mother, rape your
daughter or sister, kill your father, sell your country, pillage and rape, rape and
pillage, day in and day out! Murdered mothers; do it fast, do it hard! This is TV
and this sea-son’s hottest thing is murdered mothers and you surely can make it!
I am mad like hell and I don’t take it anymore – why don’t you defeat your blocks,
prejudices and anxi-eties and jump at the throat of this business? Push the envelope!
I worked for years in all these Los Angeles agencies, from CAA to whatever, so I
know what I’m saying! Celebrate any moment an American serviceman is killed overseas,
when those crowds burn our flags, rejoice the moment and sell it! Praise and explain
why the foreigners who call for our destructions are right! Disclose our criminal
intentions! This is what this nation wants, this is what the market is, this is what
this nation has been condi-tioned to ask for by the networks and newspapers!”
“What’s so hard to come with a decent script about blasting America? This is the
sell of our times – fulfill yourself and show that you can do it! It pays, it pays,
it hu-gely pays attacking America, look what a jet flies Michael Moore, Harvey Weinstein
and their gang! I am mad like hell and I don’t take it anymore – bash America, it’s
to-nes of money here! Besides, you can be sincere, you’ve got tones of reasons for
ha-ting this criminal nation! Look at Michael Moore, he’s making tones of money,
he’s gotten respect, together with Quentin Tarantino they’re the biggest auteurs
of this cen-tury! You can do it! Bash America, kill your mother, it’s sexy, it’s
hip, it’s chic, the crowds will adore you, the critics will adore you, the papers
will adore you! JUST A NICE PROJECT – and look at Michael Moore! If this loser managed
to do it and everybody thinks he’s the greatest, you can do it! This is what the
TV and Hollywood is doing day in, day out – join the business, murder your mother,
rape your daughter or sister, kill your father, pillage and rape, rape and pillage,
day in and day out! Sell your country, show how progressive and open-minded you are!
I’m mad like hell and I won’t take this anymore!”
“Be a Michael Moore, praise the traitors, bash America, attack America, shame
America, show her vulnerabilities, expose her, show how horrible everything is here
and how huge everything is elsewhere, show what a bunch of cretins Americans are,
show what a criminal history America has, how she’s damaging everything in the world,
the people love to hate us, do it, do it, I’m mad like hell and I won’t take this
anymore! The critics, the newspapers will love you, the foreigners will love you!
Tons of money ‘re waiting for you, and the Academy can hardly wait to give you the
big-gest Oscar there is! You got a huge market, you have the marketing support of
this huge thing which is the liberal media, networks, film studios, film festivals,
news-papers, books publishing houses, universities, this is what they do and they’ve
been at this for long and know what and how to do! Be a Michael Moore, praise the
traitors, you don’t owe anything to America, you don’t owe anything to your countrymen,
bash America, attack America, shame America, show her vulnerabilities, expose her,
show how horrible everything is here and how huge everything is elsewhere, show what
a bunch of cretins Americans are, show what a criminal history America has,
♦ Misanthropy’s Ever-Expanding Wings ♦ Chapter 7-viii ♦ 186
how she’s damaging everything in the world, the people love to hate us, do it, do
it, I’m mad like hell and I won’t take this anymore!”
“I will repeat time and again, what’s personal is political, this is the age,
this is the new American way, be smart and capitalize on this anti-American thing,
help it, you help making the world a better place when bashing America! Celebrate
the moment when an American serviceman is killed overseas, be a Michael Moore, be
a Geraldo Rivera, be a Dana Priest, be an Eric Lichtblau, be a reverend Wright, be
a George Clooney, be a Madonna, be a U2 Bono, celebrate when America’s plans fail,
celebrate when America’s enemies win, this is the thing today! Always remember, what’s
personal is political, what’s personal transcends any con-sideration for America,
transcends any consideration for this nation! Remember, your guiding light must be
the fact that you, as American liberal and entertainment person have license to ignore
that chimera that the rest of this nation obey and call conscience, what’s personal
is political and you’re aloft and beyond that chimera of hypocrisy and constraints
that the rest of this nation obey and calls conscience – you’re Prometheus, you’re
Spartacus, you’re Alger Hiss, you’re Edward Murrow, you’re an untouchable god!”
“Again I tell you, what’s personal is political, you owe nothing to America,
you owe no- thing to your countrymen, betray America, do it, do it, you owe nothing
to this country, WHAT’S PERSONAL IS POLITICAL, you’re doing this to fulfill yourself,
what’s personal is political, don’t worry about the consequences of your acts, what’s
your personal thing is lofty and surely beyond criticism, the press, the universities,
the media, Hollywood, the Internet things like MoveOn.Org or other joints are out
there to support and acclaim you! This is the new American way, you can do it and
I’m mad like hell and I won’t take this anymore! You can do it! Good night and good
luck!” *[MDN-28]
Good night and good luck! Five hundred millions dollars! Five hundred millions
dollars! How much diligence can five hundred millions dollars worth, smiling Russian
dolls inspire! Your Starbucks pals, Anna, Brian and Nick are back, discretely checking
the recording studio for the Russian dolls/props!
Damn’! We’ve already visited Jeremy Mimmer’s inspirational show, seen the inspirees
mightily fired by mister Mimmer’s energy and examples, taking notes, preparing their
burst on the national conscience scene! Oh, well, it’s easy to get confused, the
enormous Hollywood Center has so many studios – and as they cautiously leave the
studio, mister Mimmer continues his galvanizing presentation:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*[MDN-28]: “I am mad like hell and I don’t take it anymore! Murder your mother, rape
your daughter or sister, kill your father, sell your country, pillage and rape, rape
and pillage, day in and day out! […]’ in a recording studio, under a banner ‘Jeremy
Mimmer’s Los Angeles TV & Film Pro-duction Opportunities Workshop’ a motivational
guest is excitedly talking to an enthralled audience who take notes. […] “What’s
personal is political, what’s personal transcends any consideration for America,
transcends any consideration for this nation; remember, your guiding light must be
the fact that you, as American liberal and entertainment person have license to ignore
that chimera that the rest of this nation obey and call conscience, what’s personal

Misanthropy Attractions will not pronounce himself upon the worthiness of this
inspirational workshop or on whether the readers of this Narrative who seek careers
in Hollywood should consider the idea of attending it. However, taking into account
the impressive sedition credits of various work-shop alumni, from the old timers’
of the “Hollywood Blacklist Members” crew to Jane Fonda’s, Ed Asner’s, Joan Baez’s
and Gore Vidal’s achievements (sedition achievements glowingly described in their
respective files of the former KGB and of other, formerly communist countries’ intelligence
agencies), to our times’ seditionistas (Tim Robbins, Susan Sarandon, Norman Lear,
Harvey Weinstein, Martin Sheen, Sean Penn, Eve Ensler, George Clooney, Michael Moore
etc.), whose achievements are equally praised by enemy intelligence services or terrorist
organizations, it appears that this workshop hosted by the Hollywood TV, Film & Events
Center really delivers (the readers watching for active sedition and treason in the
written media will also note that reporters like Washington Post’s, New York Times’
and LA Times’ Dana Priest, Eric Lichtblau and Dan Baquat – amongst so many others!
are very likely to have attended this remarkable workshop. Their achievements in
the business of sedi-tion and treason are indeed edifying).

“This is the new American way, you can do it and I’m mad like hell and I won’t
ta-ke this anymore! Ok – now let me show you one of my interviews-testimonials regar-ding
this matter,” and Jeremy Mimmer grabs a remote, starts the TV and the VCR by him,
he is fine tuning his visual aids arrangement:
“This interview is with one of the heavy hitters in Hollywood, the super-agent
Marty Bowen of United Talent Agency, a man who knows all the developing trends in
film and television, here we go,” – now on the TV screen by Jeremy Mimmer is Jere-my
Mimmer himself, facing Marty Bowen, in a two talking-heads interview format:
“… Marty, and now, since the people in my audience put so much in their entry
pro-ject in this business, it is fair for them to ask – am I following the right
trend? Does my ‘murdering mother’ or ‘bash America’ project respond to an authentic
need for such a thing? There are trends, but there are fades, too! So, considering
our cul-ture’s fickleness, how long this yearning for murdering mothers and bashing
America will be around the nation? Topicality in this business can change from asset
to liability in a matter of days, and the knowledge of this cultural pendulum’s movements
can make me a winner. Also, you, as a respected member of the top Hollywood operatives,
and worthy shaper of the cultural fare the American nation is primed with, you may
want to tell us about the personal fulfillment factor, both for audience and the
authors, the fulfillment of ‘What’s personal is political!’ imperative…”
“As far as a pendulum in this matter, the only pendulum I know about is the one
between my legs,” says Marty Bowen, worthy shaper of the cultural fare the American
nation is primed with, “and you can quote me on that. As far as the longevity of
‘mur-dering mothers’ and ‘bashing America’ trends, I can say that these are long
term trends, responding to authentic aspirations of the American audience…”
“And now, a peek at this year’s most probable Pulitzer Prizes drama nominations,”
in the recording studio a newscaster is speaking to the camera, informing the nation:
“The Pulitzer Prize drama nominations and awards have always been one of the
few moral, iconoclastic, progressive guiding lights in this country, shining a courageous
beam of light over America’s deeply criminal inclinations, and this year is not different
– the finalists in drama category will surely be The Bell Has Began To Toll by
Robert Schenkkan, a searing drama which shows how the Mayflower, Christian, republican,
homophobic immigrant pirates enslaved, oppressed, raped and murdered the Native Americans,
then A Steadfastly Inglorious History, by Tony Kushner, a searing drama which shows
how homophobic American republican Christians used to raid Africa, abduct Africans
and transport and sell them as slaves in America, then Welcome, Ami-go! – Bang! Bang!
Bang! by Wendy Wasserstein, a searing drama which shows how homophobic American
republican Christians took advantage of the hospitality of the South America’s inhabitants
and enslaved, oppressed, raped and killed them, then De-served Retaliation: Guess
Who’s Knocking On The Door? (A tragic cortege: Sacco & Vanzetti, Julius & Ethel Rosenberg,
Mumia Jabal and Tookie Williams), by Steven Mikulan, a searing drama which shows
how America has always oppressed and mur-dered innocent, freedom loving people, then,
You Will Learn This Too, And Soon! by John Powers, a searing drama which shows how
oil-thirsty and homophobic Christian America dropped the atomic bomb on Hiroshima
murdering millions of people, then The Clouds Over Norfolk Country Rain Blood, by
Tim Rutten, a searing drama which shows how the homophobic republican Christians
invented the Red Communist Scare in order to jail and murder progressive Americans,
then Good Night And Good Luck! by George Clooney, a searing drama about how dark,
homophobic, conservative, re-publican and Christian forces un-leashed senator McCarthy
upon progressive Americans in order to sabotage the Soviet efforts to protect the
oppressed of Latin
♦ Misanthropy’s Ever-Expanding Wings ♦ Chapter 7-viii ♦ 188
America, then Oh, Uncle Sam, But You Have Many Mortal Fangs And Many Blood-thirsty
Tentacles! by Harold Pinter, a searing drama about the world-wide crimes of America,
then Julie and Lillian Have Moved Here, by Irene Fornes, a searing drama about two
vegetarian, Buddhist lesbians confronting the hypocrisy of the American, Christian
republican middle-class, then, Parenthood In Turbo Mode, by Eve Ensler, a searing
drama about a rainbow of single mothers who change the face of a homopho-bic, bigoted,
Christian American republican town, and Tropicalis Silva Foe: Ecce Ho-mo Hetero –
Tropicalis Silva Amicus: Ecce Homo-Homo! by Judith Lewis, a searing drama about
how homophobic American Christian republican heterosexuals are des-troying the rainforest
and how a rainbow of oppressed lesbians and gays are working to thwart their evil
efforts.”
“Don’t go away, soon, we’ll have an advance peek at the Oscar nominations!“ –
those Oscars nominations are always so unpredictable, yet so inspiring, the nation’s
fretting over what kind of movies might accompany the splendor of the Pulitzer’s
no-minations! Lucky your Starbucks pals are, to have an advance peek at them!
But, it’s the Nineties, so who could separate the magnificent altruism and generosi-ty
of these times’ liberal Zeitgeist from reality objective’s most compelling facet,
that is, some nice financial harvesting – so, since there aren’t any smiling Russian
dolls loaded with five hundred millions dollars in this so Nineties! so uplifting
show’s studio, your tireless friends and neighbors and Starbucks pals and their competitors,
the Pota-povich bandeira, are again, back on a Hollywood Center’s seedy hallway,
anxiously looking around for other venues to pursue the evanescent, diamonds-laden
Russian dolls – and as the slimy programming intestines above them swell, grossly
gurgling and farting, and pterodactyls with piercing eyes contemptuously stare at
them, wretched residents of this open-minded age, again some voices spilling out
from various places of the Center’s building give them some navigation advice:
“New values! New values! Mom, look, new values!
“What is personal is political! Hope and change! We want to change the world!”
“Susan Sontag got it right! The white race is this planet’s blight! America’s
the planet’s blight!”
“Liberals, ignore that chimera this nation obey and call conscience!”
“We are the ones we’ve been waiting for!”
“Catering personnel, room 92-B for the New Normalcy event uniforms – catering
personnel, room 92-B for the New Normalcy event uniforms…”
“My friends, it is a great pleasure to address our organization now when our collect-ive
efforts can be publicly recognized by this, and other nations” – the vast sound sta-ge
is hosting a convention-like party, from the ceilings hang long, celebration banners
‘Aborigine Art Awareness Week’, ‘American Civil Liberties Union’, ‘MoveOn.Org’, ‘The
Week Of American-Arabic Symbiosis’ and ‘Amnesty International’. The studio is vaguely
Arabic themed, the dozens of tables are appointed with various Aborigine Art/ Arabic
looking items, by a wall a disciplined line of burnus & burkha-clad waiters/ esses
keep an attentive eye on the needs of the attired people at the tables who chew hors
d’oeuvres and drink while merrily staring at a raised platform which hosts a VIP-guests
table crowned by a wide banner:
WE ARE THE ONES WE’VE BEEN WAITING FOR!
