Happy Thanksgiving 2016 Addendum

How can you not love this face? Did everyone at Blogger catch my video post on YouTube yesterday? Here it is embedded in my blog post today so I can add more to it. I've decided to take a little break from my drawings because they demand too much effort from me. I thought I heard someone say I'm power tripping today. I'm just trying to get my money. I want my money. All the millions of dollars of royalties and author's fees that were made from my thousands of posts belongs in my pocket. And that actually does make me important. The workers in this business are as dumb as the new, post Vietnam War media. For instance, when I moved into my current address in 2012, it was occupied by a few corrupt production workers who tried to get me beat up. They invited a big bruiser to come to my home and knock on my door. But he couldn't even make it halfway up the stairs. I heard him say to the other eager assailants that he couldn't hurt me because I'm a star. That's incorrect. He couldn't hurt me because I'm worth a huge pile of money. There's obviously some science fiction type of technology at work to protect me from physical harm. I have had a lot of experience with this protection and consider myself an expert on it. The power that protects me doesn't give a shit about talent, it only cares about money. As I said, the media doesn't know how to do their jobs. They are supposed to help me get rich with my work. And they offend their own superiors when they try to pass me off as someone who is too old to be successful. Their superiors don't want popular talent to be discouraged in any way, including for reasons of advancing age. They want the money that would be generated by that talent. Let me put it to you like this. Say it's the 22nd century and I've been dead for seventy five years. A phenomenal new talent rises up on the internet who is capable of writing billion dollar songs. But he's a bit of a loner and receives the same treatment from the business that I did. He shares one hit and they utterly destroy him with it. In his brain are the recipes for hundreds of more of the same type of commercial music. Suppose by then that I was successful with my work. He could turn to my blogs and follow my example all the way to his own success. He could have far more confidence in his copyright protection than I had with mine, merely by reading my blogs and knowing my experience. But suppose I fail. Then perhaps this great new talent from the future would simply hang himself in his room and take his billions of dollars of musical masterpieces with him. So that's how opposing me could cost money all the way into the distant future. The media's superiors want artists to have hope. All the dumb reporters want is to stay in a position of superiority over everyone in the population, including artists. Their real problem with my work was that it made me important - more important than them. The powers that be have created this situation by staffing broadcasting corporations with not so bright reporters to avoid another Walter Cronkite situation at the hands of a reporter who is capable of thinking for himself. These reporters today are only capable of reading their cue cards. They're not even reporters, they're just actors. I don't have my money yet and I will continue to put pressure on the stars and broadcasters for their offenses against my copyright until I have my money. And I wasn't bluffing about people losing their jobs and going to prison. It's already happened on a large scale over my work since 2013 and shame on the media for covering it up. [4:00pm:] I've drifted back to the public library for some reason while stretching my legs. My legs feel pretty cramped after being cooped up in my room to rewrite all those verses and redraw all those illustrations. I guess I could shore up this post a little more against the inevitable attacks it will suffer from the fiends who owe me money and their dependents. Is anyone saying I'm greedy to want my money? I can't seem to get any respect without it. Maybe I just want respect. Was it untenable for me to go from calling the reporters stupid to implying that they were arrogant? Arrogant people are stupid. They think they know it all and it is the biggest intellectual mistake one can make. As Socrates said, one may not gain any knowledge unless one first admits that he knows nothing. As for media arrogance, how can CBC's David Frum call me a paperboy from Renfrew if I'm a rich and powerful international rock star and poet? You regular people out there who have absolutely nothing against me should sense the criminal motive for bashing my work. You should answer their comments with something like, 'Who are you? Taylor Swift?'
