It is good to believe, I believe, but it is incumbent upon us to temper our beliefs with common sense and the evidence of our senses. The following are a series of questions and observations concerning Michael Fairchild's 'Rock Prophecy'. I make these comments with a dual purpose in mind: One, to open a dialog with Mr. Fairchild in a 'civil', public forum (this is to Michael's benefit as it helps to generate interest in his theories) and two, to comment and question those things which I feel are insupportable by fact or reason. By doing this, I am giving Mr. Fairchild the opportunity to 'answer the tough question'. This is not something Michael should find threatening as he seems to have a real conviction in the truth of his theories and the eloquence to express them in a convincing manner. In that spirit:
(MF)-A timely prophecy remains hidden within the words of Jimi Hendrix. The above is a rhetorical device, or the prophecy 'remains hidden'? MF-I've written a text - the testament of his vision, a connection between history and religions, linking the future with the past. The story is cal- led Rock Prophecy, the central event of the Hendrix millennium - a rev- elation that defines the faith. Several million people are familiar with my writings published by MCA, Polydor, and Warner Bros. I'm seeking partners who'll help get Rock Prophecy to my readers and preserve a message that everyone needs. Become a publisher and witness this miracle. With a little help, we can influence history and establish insights to transform our world. The day of awakening is up to us. Contact me if you can help produce this unusual book...-MF Not to condone or condone; I merely state as fact that the above is an ap- peal for money to 'publish' your book; nothing wrong with that, on the surface. MF-Rock Prophecy defines the faith of a new religion, the original asteroid prediction of Jimi Hendrix which triggered an avalanche of asteroid stories in recent media.-MF Question: Where in the scriptures (Jimi's writings) is this 'prediction' in fact found? Or do we have to pledge financial backing to be directed to the particular passage? MF-The manuscript interprets history in ways that dominators are most concerned to obstruct and crush. Rock Prophecy, a book about the Hendrix/ asteroid/Microsoft connection. The story reports Microsoft's connection with the end of civilization. Help us spread the word about this vision. Help us preserve and protect the Newest Testament.-MF A facetious comment: Microsoft cannot seem to wipe out Netscape, let alone civilization! MF-We do not worship Jimi. The Hendrix story teaches us how destructive "worship" can be.-MF Question: In what way did 'worship' lead to Jimi's demise? MF-This book is dedicated to the seers and thinkers. We are the forerunners of the future. We are not "rejected" by the unfree elitist media. Reject = defect, an equation used to devalue us. We are not rejected, we are ob- structed. "Obstruct" conveys the unrighteousness of those who oppose us.-MF God save us from the (un)righteous! You then include the following quote:
"Satan...[acts] for the specific purpose of blocking or obstructing human activity. The root stn means "one who opposes, obstructs, or acts as adversary." (The Greek term diabolos, later translated "devil," literally means "one who throws something across one's path.") -Elaine Pagels
Question: What evidence exists to establish 'Satan' as a real entity? MF-"Success" for Rock Prophecy is defined not in terms of numbers of books sold. Success is measured by the Prophecy's survival.-MF We will come back to the above... Then you quote Jimi: "The point is: who is wrong and who is right, that's what the point is - not how many people." - Jimi Could you give us the context of Jimi's remarks, please?: I'm not sure of the source or the question Jimi was responding to. MF-Rock Prophecy is not a "Hendrix book." It is the Newest Testament which defines the faith of Creation's Way: religion of the freeks. Rock Prophecy carries the concepts that dominators are most concerned to obstruct and crush. The unjust monied among us - the so-called "rich" - will seek out and destroy every copy of this book that they can confiscate.-MF Ignoring, for the moment, the paranoia evidenced by the above statement (I calls 'em like I sees 'em), I ask this rhetorical question: What group of people in the entire history of our planet have been more 'dominating' than religious leaders and movements? Corporations like Microsoft are in bus- iness to make money and dominate the marketplace: religions, by taking away the power of individual thought and free will (only WE know what God is thinking) are the number one 'dominators'; the dominators of thought. This is the kind of person you are or want to become? Then you quote scriptures (Jimi!) again: "There's nothing we can explain to them. Most of it is from bitterness, there's no color part now, there's no black and white, it's very small ...They have to relax and wait to go by the psychological feeling. If you start thinking negative, it switches to bitterness, aggression, hatred, whatever. - Jimi "If you start thinking negative..." Hmmmm. MF-All of the above text was published on this web page in February 1998. On March 11, 1998 the world's media reported that an asteroid is headed towards Earth.-MF
OK. You seem to imply that the whole 'an asteroid could hit the Earth' idea is something new, when in fact we, as a species, have been aware of the possibility since at least the turn of the century. The destructive power evidenced by the object that fell on Siberia gave an indication of just how powerful such an impact can be.
MF-The Timeline in Rock Prophecy from April 1995 through August 1997 was copyrighted on August 15, 1997. The Timeline from September 1997 through February 1998 was copyrighted on March 3, 1998. Eight days later, on March 11, 1998, scientists reported that a mile wide asteroid will come within 30,000 miles of Earth on October 26, 2028. Just a few hours before all media reported this story on March 11, 1998, I composed and mailed the following letter to five people:-MF Documentation? (It needs to be good documentation as a postmark will only show day, not time.) MF-The complete hardcopy manuscript of Rock Prophecy - the Hendrix/ asteroid/Microsoft connection - was recently printed out.-MF MF-A timely prophecy remains hidden within the writings of Jimi Hendrix.In 1993, while working for Harper Collins on the book Cherokee Mist - the Lost Writings of Jimi Hendrix, I grasped the vision that this shaman seer was racing to communicate at the time of his death in 1970. In the spring of 1995 I sent a hardcopy draft of the story to the Library of Congress for copyright. The manuscript is titled Rock Prophecy, it is the original asteroid prediction which triggered an avalanche of asteroid stories in recent media.-MF ?!? Um, your guessing here, right? What proof do you have that your text 'triggered' the 'avalanche'? (Circumstantial will not do, in this case. Cause and effect need to be shown along with concrete evidence.) MF-Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen, the third wealthiest American, was seeking to acquire rights to the Hendrix legacy for his $60 million Hendrix Museum in Seattle. In 1993 Mr. Allen loaned the Hendrix family $5 million to finance a lawsuit which resulted in the closing of the Hendrix pro- duction company in Hollywood. For seven years I had been employed by Jimi's production company as their writer and consultant. My unusual stories, which are included as 28-page booklets in many official Hendrix CDs pub- lished by MCA, Warner Bros., and Polydor, are well known to an inter- national audience of several million people. I am the author of many other non-Hendrix publications, including Atlantic Record's 1994 Woodstock Diary CD booklet and a dozen cover stories in national magazines.-MF I am one of those who really enjoyed those Woodstock liner notes and would like to publicly thank you for them. I found their originality and energy conveyed a certain tone that actually enhanced, for me, my enjoyment of the CD. (I do, however, have some problems with the mixing and dubbing on the CD, but that's another story.) MF-I was responsible for initiating and developing projects and products which became some of the most celebrated successes of the Hendrix legacy, and I was in line to become the next Creative Director of the Hendrix pro- duction company in Hollywood. My position allowed me to orchestrate, for Paul Allen's Hendrix museum in Seattle, the purchase, from my contacts, of several of the world's most excellent collections of Hendrix items. Nearly a half million dollars was paid for this material by Mr. Allen's museum. The collections now comprise the core data base about Jimi that resides at Mr. Allen's "Hendrix museum" in Seattle.-MF So you helped the rich microguy to hoard Hendrix 'relics' for his temple, huh? Why? The finders fee you never received or the belief that Mr. Allen was sincere in his desire to preserve Jimi's 'legacy'? MF-But then the lawsuit from the Hendrix family against officials at their Hollywood production company, a lawsuit financed by Mr. Allen, resulted in closing the Hollywood company. My job was gone, and my opportunity to be Creative Director of Jimi's estate was toppled. I was left unemployed, no severence pay. And Paul Allen's Seattle museum refused to compensate me for my efforts which connected his museum up with a world class Hendrix col- lection.-MF "If you start thinking negative, it switches to bitterness, aggression, hatred, whatever." - Jimi I understand your bitterness toward being used by the rich and pushy. I understand why you feel aggressive towards those who have wronged you. I even understand your hatred of them. It's the 'whatever' that I find disturbing. MF-I had done only unusual good for all of these people, yet from their actions my seven year career of incredible successes was destroyed. And all the while I was the only one who understood the Prophecy.-MF The aforementioned 'whatever'. MF-At the height of the highly publicized lawsuit proceedings in 1995 I wrote the story of Jimi's prediction of an asteroid on course to impact Earth.-MF Published where? MF-At the same time one of my articles was published and it describes why my unpublished writings, registered and stored at the Library of Congress, are being monitored by interested parties.-MF Unless you have some evidence for this accusation it only feeds the sus- pision that paranoia is is involved somewhere. Response? MF-Did representatives of Paul Allen's Hendrix museum see Rock Prophecy at the LOC in the spring of 1995? Within five months of my manuscript's copyright the media began churning out dramatic asteroid stories. An escalating frenzy of reports, in all major media throughout 1996, climaxed in 1997 with several feature films, documentaries, and an NBC-TV mini- series. In July 1996 NBC teamed up with Paul Allen's Microsoft to launch MSNBC. Subsequently NBC became particularly "hot" on the topic of rocks from space, as if mogul orders had decreed, "Do up the asteroid story - Big Time!"-MF Why? MF-The Microsoft connection is, however, but a sliver within Rock Prophecy. And the full story cannot be described as a "Hendrix book." Analysis of Jimi's prediction is but a third of the manuscript. Hendrix is presented as an authentic Afro American Cherokee seer, a shaman who glimpsed the tra- jectory of extraterrestrial events already in place during his lifetime. He was racing to communicate his vision in a screenplay he composed titled Moondust.-MF Hmmmm. I've read 'Moondust'. In fact, it is reprinted on my website. What gives you the idea that it is anything more than the rough outline for a movie? What 'predictions' were made in it? Or 'Rainbow Bridge'? MF-Rock Prophecy is the story of how the dominators have silenced the seers throughout the ages and "retarded history" by impeding humanity's advance towards anti-asteroid technology.-MFThe real crux of the matter is here, IMO. WHY WOULD ANYONE WANT THE WORLD TO BE DESTROYED TO THE POINT OF SURPRESSING TECHNOLOGY THAT COULD MEAN THE SALVATION OF ALL MANKIND? What possible motivation could there be for such an insane desire? ALL LIFE on the planet was wiped out the last time we were impacted, right? Who would want that to happen again? Motive, please.
MF-We are today at a technological state which should have been realized several millennia ago. The slim window (in geologic time) which exists between major impacts is due to close.-MF
Oh? Upon what scientific observations and principles is this statement based? Probability Theory? The law of averages? Entropy? Explain, please. MF-Rock Prophecy will remain as the explanation of what happened. And like the suppressed gnostic gospels, this book will surface during a future civilization on the other side of the coming dark ages of the Hendrix Millennium, to be dug out from under the rubble of an (avoidably) smashed planet, like the new Nag Hammadi library. -MF If you have any evidence at all to support this wild supposition, I'd like to hear it. Or was this part of your 'vision'? (Will you tell me that evidence is unimportant and vision is key?) Sexual preference has nothing to do with taste or individual desire? (Do Dominators wear tight leather or Tupperware tights?) Forgive my derision, please. I can't help it: this is a statement I find difficult to accept with a straight face, man! Sorry. MF-Rock Prophecy proclaims the start of the first century of the Uncommon Era as the moment when, simultaneously, the Ultra Secret Enigma code of the Nazis was broken at the moment Jimi was born. The tide of war turned in favor of the Allies.-MF This is patently false: Jimi was born on Nov. 27th, 1942. The 'Enigma' code machine employed by the Nazis was first broken in the spring of 1940, two full years before Jimi's birth! In fact, the Nazis added a 'fourth rotor' on the machine in February of 1942 making the Ultra intelligence unreadable until December of that year, meaning that at the time of Jimi's birth those codes had again become unbreakable. Anyway, even if Enigma had been broken on the hour of Jimi's birth, what would that mean? Your point? MF-Dominator culture shriveled in the presence of Hendrix and then re- asserted itself in the circumstances of his death. What you call 'dominator culture' most would term 'The Establishment' or 'The Military/Industrial Complex' or 'the powers that be' or 'City Hall'. For the sake of discussion, let's use your term: The period of time you refer to, from the end of WW2 to 1970 was the HIGHPOINT of 'dominator culture, not years of decline in ANY sense! It was only after the fall of Tricky Dick (dominator prime himself!) that these anti-Communist crusaders began to loose there monolithic influence. During Jimi's lifetime the 'dominators' were at the peak of their power! Explain, please. MF-Thirty years later it is up to me to leave behind the persecuted man- uscript, like a reenactment of the writings of Paul three decades after the Crucifixion.-MF How was Damascus, anyway? MF-There are two crucial differences: 1) dozens of my unique stories are familiar to millions of people who own the MCA, Warner Bros. and Polydor publications, and 2) the Internet.-MF I fail to see the importance of #1 and the idea that the Internet will somehow survive global destruction is questionable in the extreme! There are not many works of man more fragile than the electronic medium of the Internet. Mankind's salvation? NOW I'm worried! MF-It is critical to Paul Allen that Microsoft controls the Internet. Rock Prophecy draws parallels between the Seattle billionaire and the Emperor Constantine. Like the Roman dominator, Mr. Allen seeks to co-opt and re- write a theology, complete with gaudy cathedrals in the prophet's hometown. Whereas the ancient gnostics buried their texts in the desert, I have dug out a website to eject Rock Prophecy into cyberspace for preservation.-MF Build a pyramid, Michael! They last LOTS longer! MF-The struggle between good and evil today comes down to whether or not the Justice Department can prevent Microsoft dominators from controlling the Internet and obstructing the circulation of Rock Prophecy.-MF So, the future of civilization rests on the trinity of Rock Prophecy, the Internet, and the U.S. Justice Department? NOW I'm scared! Like I said, I am a skeptic, but I firmly believe that your beliefs and viewpoints are utterly valid AS BELIEFS. I have the same problems with such things as Virgin Births (Joseph was a chump!) and omnipotence (If God is omnipotent, can he create a rock so big that he cannot lift it?), also. When you choose to tell the world, in effect, "This is the truth", you ask for the kind of critique I humbly present here. -Wally
Wed, 29 Jul 1998 16:29:22 PDT
MF-Answers to all of the questions and issues you posed in your "Rocky" site are in the unpublished book Rock Prophecy. But for a quick start, you're wrong about the Enigma breakthrough date. "Shark" was broken after Anthony Fasson's death off the coast of Alexandria shortly before Jimi was born. There are about ten different authorities quoted in Rock Prophecy, with footnotes documenting each citing. You are wrong about the code that was broken and when. And most of your other points are incorrect as well. Another quickie: the March 11, 1998 postmark date, which you requested elaboration and proof for, is already answered at the website Timeline, which you obviously haven't read. It's a chronological list, so look at page 3. I wish I had time to correct all of your other errors. There isn't time for me to do it right now. But your reactions are welcome. Just remember, there's an unpublished book behind what I say, filled with many hundrds of footnotes to support each claim with documented sources. I'm working to get the whole thing out there. In the meantime, know that you've read only a page of overview, just a fraction of even the website. Let's not make up a mind before ANY evidence has been presented. THAT is the classic dominator unfairness. Be patient and your questions will all be answered.-MF Thu, 30 Jul 1998 Michael: I would be less than frank (and Frank, frankly, ain't much!) if I said that your reply to my questions answered ANY of them. MF-Answers to all of the questions and issues you posed in your "Rocky" site are in the unpublished book Rock Prophecy.-MF Which needs financial backing before we'll be able to read it? Why not just put it on the web? That way, people at the grassroots level can download it and make copies to bury for the post-impact civilization of the future to find. Cuts out the middleman (dominators)! This is not my idea, of course, but your own unique distribution strategy! As you say: MF-"Success" for Rock Prophecy is defined not in terms of numbers of books sold. Success is measured by the Prophecy's survival.-MF That's the point, right? If I read the book, THEN you'll satisfy my queries? (There is something wrong and vaguely 'preverted' about my use of that word!?!) I guess it really doesn't matter what I think anyway, as the intended audience for 'Rock Prophecy' is the aforementioned post-apocolyptic readership of the future, huh. As for U.S. codebreaking abilities, the exact date or time that decryption efforts by the Allies paid off is really beside the point. What relevance does any of that have, anyway? THE BURY A BOOK FOR MICHAEL PLEDGE: 'I pledge to personally bury at least one copy of 'Rock Prophecy' in a place where I determine a future archeologist will discover it. This I do in Jimi's name.' (I did the same thing in a past life once, but unfortunately, I buried it in Atlantis.) Thu, 30 Jul 1998 ANNOUNCING WALLYRUS'S CD BURIAL SERVICE! Did you ever ponder the possibility that future generations of humans may, through some disaster, never have the opportunity to be 'Experienced'? To terrible to contemplate, isn't it? Now YOU can do something about it! For a limited time only, I will be accepting donations of Jimi CD's which I will bury in a place only I will ever know; in a place a vision revealed as safe from the coming storm from the sky!! Do your part to preserve the music for posterity! Michael Fairchild Fri, 31 Jul 1998 20:55:17 PDT CHARACTERS Later on I thought "Archangel of Heaven" is better. ENIGMA Wally, Timing is "everything" (or at least really significant) all through the Hendrix asteroid story - intersections, coincidence, epitomized by the Rock's trajectory. The Hendrix/Enigma coincidence shines like the Star of Bethlahem, an immaculately conceived collision. See how it shines. MOONDUST The complete Moondust script has not been published that I know of. The sections many of us know from Cherokee Mist (I wrote the intro to that book) describes the set-up for Jimi's message. What readers of this list have seen the last page of Moondust? ROOM FULL OF MIRRORS And besides, Moondust is just one of many asteroid oriented themes in Jimi's images. Remember, I was the one who gathered all known JH quotes for the unpublished autobio, Room Full of Mirrors, that was recently reviewed in UV. Both Caesar and Joel are well aware of my work for that book, hundreds of my edit ideas are included, yet they neglected to mention any of it in their report. The point is that Jimi's many words about the Rock are gathered and isolated in RP. God Save the Queen! Sgt. Michael
Raining Parades (and other rubble) Date: Sat, 01 Aug 1998 08:57:59 PDT J. Wortherspoon: "raining on your party, but there are at least 2 precedents to a prophecy..." If one wishes to attribute the 1996-1998 asteroid craze to causes other than Rock Prophecy, or to events that transpired before RP was copy- righted, we could go all the way back to 1877 when Jules Verne wrote Off On A Comet. Or we could go back just a couple decades to the 1978 film A Fire In the Sky, or 1979's Meteor movie, or 1984's Night of the Comet. Hell (literally), you might even make a case that the asteroid craze came from AD'a 1980 promo film for Nine To the Universe (remember all those space rocks and planet impacts?). My website Timeline considers this history of the asteroid issue in popular culture: www.geocities.com/athens/oracle/7794/ (The site recently moved and tripled in size a few weeks ago. It had been listed on most search engines, but is in process of have the new address registered. You can still find it on many engines though, it's probably easier to use my name in "quotations" to search.) Many of us are well aware of occasional asteroid stories that caught the public's attention at some point over the past century (my favorite is The Destruction of Atlantis by I. Donnally in 1893). And media dominators will tell you that the current asteroid craze was kicked off with impacts on Jupiter in July 1994. But the main point of my website Timeline is to prove OTHERWISE. Consider timing. As I said yesterday in my post – "timing is everything". The 1984 and 1994 books that Mr. Wortherspoon refers to are among a hand- ful of media asteroid stories that appeared at various points between 1877 and 1994. As the Timeline explains, all of these stories produced minor impacts (excuse the pun) in popular culture. The actual asteroid craze - characterized by repeated and excessive/ obsessive mass media blockbuster fixation, from the New York Times to all major TV networks and Hollywood – is outlined at my website. This unique outbreak escalated in late 1995, just about 6 months after Rock Prophecy was seen in D.C. at the Library of Congress at the height of the Hendrix lawsuit proceedings.
PRIOR to 1995 all asteroid reports and media stories are scattered hap- hazardly across the decades in disconnected isolation from each other. By contrast, the intense crescendo of reports triggered after RP was copy- righted identifies this story firmly as the IMMEDIATE PRECURSOR to the present frenzy in media which has continued at an uninterrupted peak for the past two and a half years (the most recent manifestation is a Mc- Donalds' "asteroid" TV commercial on the heels of Armageddon and Deep Impact). Rock Prophecy appeared at precisly the right time prior to the media blitz to have been the catalyst. There is NO OTHER directly connected event from 1995 prior to the blitz which kicked off late in that year. Maybe more important than the 6 month proximity of RP preceeding the craze is the content of many of the 1996-1998 reports: so many of them contain content parallels with my manuscript (as is described in the website Timeline). The quality, intensity, and sheer numbers of major media asteroid reports during this period is unprecedented in history. And notice that not a single one of them mentions the 1984 and 1994 books singled out by Mr. Wortherspoon as contending triggers. And regardless, like I said in my March 11th letter (see Timeline): the whole issue of the trigger of the blitz is just a sliver in Rock Prophecy anyway. The Newest Testament interprets history and defines the faith in unexpected ways, with unprecedented connections. So go ahead, be my guest, and attribute the craze to any of many asteroid stories reported prior to 1995. That's EXACTLY what the dominator media has taken pains to persuade everyone of. They'll say the craze is caused by ANYTHING other than Rock Prophecy. As Elaine Pagles said, "It is the winners who write history." has been suppressed by the media elite, who have instead presented their own false version of what happened (they like to pedestalize the late great Eugene Shoemaker as reigning "asteroid guru" – it's safer that way, he's dead.) But another version of history exists, and it's not the dominator "winners" delusion. It's just the truth of RP. What I'm saying is that the TIMING is the key to consider because no other event except for RP was happening in that critical period of 1995 before the blitz kicked off. There would have been NO media overexposure of the asteroid issue had not the Hendrix connection been seen in D.C. in spring "1995" - the 53rd Year of the Uncommon Era. To claim otherwise is to subscribe to the dominators' version of history – a revisionist re-write, like the way Constantine's scribes reconstructed the story of Jesus long after his Crucifixion. Today our Emperor's media has ethnically cleansed Hendrix out of any mention of asteroids. However the fact remains that Jimi had this vision and he was on the way to conveying it. It is now up to us to man the Crusades. Long Live the Internet! Mike of Arc P.S. A recent post mentioned the Hendrix lawsuit "rightfully won" by the Seattle faction three years ago. You know, "won" is not really exactly what happened. The fact is that there was a SETTLEMENT in which the "rights" to Jimi were BOUGHT BACK. The Seattle faction paid out (and continues to pay out) many, many millions of dollars to the BENEFICIARIES of the settlement. I was told that AD's share is at least $10 million, and Branton's even higher – not to mention the cuts for Interlit and Elbar. So WHAT was really "won" from those proceedings backed by Paul Allen? Well, for starters James Sunquist was obstructed from any claim to his father's assets. And then's there's the little ole issue of "me" – intended successor to AD as Director. If you ask me it seems the whole inquisition was a kangaroo court ploy by dominators to silence the seer. ME and the Prophecy are what take the brunt of injustice from that unholy tribunal. Everyone stays complacent as long as Jimi's Epistles are marginalized. The surfacing of the Prophecy will surely ROCK the boat… Wally has the mission figured out. His is the intuitive extropolation seemingly lifted directly from the parchment of the Newest Testament, specifically the Obituary Ritual: 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000 New Year Ceremonial Burial An Inquisition invokes dominator laws to obstruct Rock Prophecy and confiscate every copy. Jimi's prediction is denounced on all grounds. The establishMENt persecutes those who promote this book. So bear witness to the Newest Testament: every November 27 New Year, write your name in Rock Prophecy and bury the book in a safe place, a sacred place, a place where dominators can't find it, where a future race can dig Black Gold out from beneath the debris of shattered Earth and fathom what happened to humanity. Rock Prophecy conveys our fate. Burial of this text represents graves tended for victims of dominators, victims who remain nameless to HIStory; all of the seers and sages who were left to die or be killed because they held perceptions unacceptable to He. Our legacy is explained in these pages. Through these Black Gold burials we become defeaters of greed, the enemies of T.H.E.M., and Saviors of Mother Earth. Men forget. They must, therefore, be reminded over and over again... Religious ritual has been a crucial instrument of this process of "reminding." - Peter Berger The purpose of our ritual is to forever remember the persecution that freeks suffered under savages of the first century. We bury this text and thereby relate to all beings who pass this way, past charred remains of dark shattered continents, that here is Black Gold, among this scattered rubble of broken stones is found Rock Prophecy. Thus the scriptures of Jimi bear eternal witness to the example of man. The tragedy on our planet transmits this lesson of infinite benefit for all living things, every- where, forever. Amen. We must not be afraid of paths chosen by God. - Jimi Keep your printers in workng order…

............Wow! *Wally has the mission figured out. His is the intuitive extropolation *seemingly lifted directly from the parchment of the Newest Testament, *specifically the Obituary Ritual: Somehow, I don't like the sound of that!:-)))) Well, I think I have it figured out, Michael: That's the problem! Unfortunately, you've given me nothing compelling enough (actually, nothing at all) to alleviate the questions and concerns I raised at: http://members.tripod.com/~Wallyrus/MF.html ...a few days ago. Instead, you toss off a few quick 'your wrongs' about periphery concerns, (which I would address if I believed you would respond seriously), while ignoring all of the other questions I posed. I ASSumed (YOUR literary device in use) that you could defend your unorthodox views in a fair and public forum and I am disappointed to find that you are ducking. Jesus answered the scribes questions, didn't he? He didn't say, "Like, verily (biblical slang) I say unto you, wait until the Bible comes out", did he? Maybe your not good with answering questions, is that it? Chris Dixon asked a few polite questions that you ignored: Are the dominators silencing you, somehow? I'd like a little virtual tour of the vault, myself. They did let you in there, right? (Ok, everyone, I admit it: MF is really an elaborate hoax perpetrated by myself. The 'real' Michael Fairchild, who would know about such things, was killed in a freak meteor impact on Guam.) What gives? When you do momentarily hit on a 'secular' Jimi topic, it seems to be with the intent to complain of the injustices done to you in the past, but not to actually TELL us anything more than it was all AD's fault and you were the good guy in every way: the true defender of the way!! Bill Caseys ghost protect me!!!! Why should I take you seriously if you do not take my/our questions seriously? I've really tried here, too. You were dismissed out of hand by most.I put a link to Rock Prophecy on my website, even. I think I've given you ample opportunity to explain and promote your views. Unfortunately, your efforts have been exclusively devoted to the latter. Your last post....my, my.... Why do I challenge you like this? Well, it's not because I'm a dominator, I can tell you that: I can't even dominate my wife!!! (Not that I would want to:-)) ) It's because you want to convert us all to your beliefs, and that is all they are, beliefs. I'm a 'Doubting Wally', I am! I don't be- lieve in virgin births and water-into-wine, why the heck should I believe your prophecy? Give me a reason to. (Or at least give me reason to believe that this whole prophecy of yours is not just a clever scam to raise money.) Mary is not here to sway my skeptical leanings: Joseph fell for it,anyway, and that was the point (so flame me, like I care!). You, though, are here among us: a Prophet in human form, but you refuse to teach. Who the $&(*%(* am I supposed to be, Pilate? Show me the ground beef patty or stop trying to feed me the hamburger. If you could see fit to attempt a rebuttal of my points, you would do much to improve your credibility, at least with me (if it matters). Wally
Interrogatories Date: Sat, 01 Aug 1998 20:02:47 PDT
C. Dixon: *'New Rising Sun' on VS. So…this was your (and/or AD)'s mix of all-Jimi *original tracks, there being no mix done byJimi? Was it edited for *length or is the VS track the complete piece? AD made decisions on mixes. On Lifelines and live releases I made suggestions, and usually had little success in swaying the sound they went for. A lot of time they did the opposite of what I'd say anyway. By the time of Voodoo Soup the lawsuit interference was at a peak and the process for work we did was more rushed. By the time I heard the final mixes on VS it was too late to change anything because, like I said earlier, "they" (AD, Bruce G. and Mark L.) actually hid from me what they were doing. I had a breakdown when I heard the results. And New Rising Sun was a tragedy. The original performance is, if I remember right, maybe seven minutes? I have a tape of it and I suggested using it to open the CD, continuing a thread like Gods Made Love or EXP as JH signature sound paintings. But AD said it was too long, and right away alarms went off – how would he edit this? There were several options, and when I heard the finished "production" this issue added to my breakdown because he actully highlighted upfront the few moments of "noise" that detracts from the music. I mean, if your intent is to edit the piece, at least use the BEST sections – but Nooooo! I think the mix on that was done by Jimi, I'd have to go through my records on it, but I recall a conversation to that effect. CD-thanks for 'Born Under ABad Sign' on :Blues (if in fact it's inclusion was your doing)… No, Bruce Gary "found" that years ago and it is obviously fabulous. From the inception of the Blues project back in the '80s BUABS was a main piller for the line up. CD-access to Jimi's unreleased archives…What can you tell us about stuff you know exists, be it live,studio, audio, or visual? When Ben and Kees were doing Plug Your Ears I used to alert them to things I was aware of and Kees included descriptions in that book. Many of the hot jams have long been in circulation among collectors, with sound quality upgrades seemingly "planned" in increments every few years so we'd have to trade again for the same music, at least when I was following things. So many jams are instrumentals and difficult to identify by "name". Actual "songs" from Jimi are all known, at least I've not heard a song from Jimi that many collectors don't have copies of. In recent years I haven't kept track of what's been circulating among collectors. My favorite studio listens were for outtakes from Elec. Ladyland. Have the Watchtower sessions circulated yet? P. Carson: *A stroll down memory lane…a tour of what you remember from the vaults. *Even a description of the 'vault.' Have tapes and films been transferred *to a new vault/location under EH? When I started with AYE Ltd. most of the tapes were in a room lined with shelves in the office at 7080 Hollywood Blvd. The office was a cramped suite of rooms and I was surprised to see all those tapes sitting in what was just a big closet. There's a video report that ABC did for an old series called Memories Then And Now and the camera goes through that office in 1991 and you can see the room with the tapes. A couple years later AYE Ltd. moved to Melrose Place and all the tapes were then stored at Warner Bros. I don't recall the situation when MCA came in. Wally: *Somehow, I don't like the sound of that!:-)))) [extropolation seemingly lifted directly from the parchment of the Newest Testament, specifically the Obituary Ritual:] You mean Obituary Ritual? If so don't worry, I don't mean *your* obit. On the other hand, worry, I do mean Earth's. *defend your unorthodox views in a fair and public forum and I am *disapointed to find that you are ducking…ignoring all of the other *questions I posed. You know there's little I'd enjoy more than to sit here and explain and complain till I entertain, BUT these days I'm tied up fighting the righteous lawsuit while simultanesouly a full time student. This past week I've had to answer a 26-page "Interoggatory" and figure out how to install Windows NT at the same time! Somehow the end of the world just seemed to slip my mind for a while there. But then we all have problems, don't we? *Jesus answered the scribes questions, didn't he? Those nasty scribes! Listen, they've caused more trouble than Monica Lewsinsky. Remember what Jimi said, "Jesus shouldn't have died so early, then he could've got twice as much across. They killed him and then twisted so many of the best things he said. Human hands started messing it all up and now so much of religion is hogwash. So much of it is negative - Thou Shalt Not. Look at sex, it's been screwed around so much I'm surprised babies are still being born." We're here trying to offer some answers, like why those scribes corrupted certain gospels with negative edits. Look what they've done, why, you can't even consider "herd thinners" with a straight face. *Sexual preferance has nothing to do with taste or individual desire? (Do Dominators wear tight leather or tupperware tights?) You know, the word "religion" comes from a Latin root meaning "to link back", as in explanations. Most of your questions at your website are answered , or at least receive explanations , in the book you're asking about. To me it'd be more effective to make that available than to sit here and try to re-word lengthy explantions into cyberbytes. Like Jimi's "Jesus & sex" quote above. A chapter of beautiful connections are explained out of a thought like that. So I wrote out the steps and if I live long enough I'll see that chapter read by whoever's interested and maybe someone will write chapters back. In the meantime it'll seem too cryptic if I condense it to e-mail, but it's true that all of the thoughts that you ask about at your site are all derived from word images and lyrics from Jimi. I was lead to these connections and can retrace the steps, and really do appreciate your interest in this process. But be patient, because it takes time and I'm swamped already, and it's frustrating because it's all already layed out in a form that's most easily conveyed to anyone interested. To have to re word it all in a quick, time-consuming, written debate just takes too long. Now a conversation, that's appealing, especially when you're in the mood. But I never said I intend to boil it all down even further into e-mail on the fly. I'm sure that'll be done someday, but it can't be priority this summer. You're interested in answers and I'll do what I can, time permitting: *a rhetorical device, or the prophecy 'remains hidden'? A bit of both. Jimi encrypted his prediction and encoded his references in images that have titles. He spoke directly about this process in his interviews. He said he believed he'd be "locked up" if he discussed it. Axis: Bold As Love is about an impact, and so is Terra Revolution and Venus. He "hid" the meaning by using metaphors. When a few of them are translated his vision becomes apparent. In another sense the prediction "remains hidden" because details about it are unpublished. *We do not worship Jimi. The Hendrix story teaches us how destructive *"worship" can be. *Question: In what way did 'worship' lead to Jimi's demise? "We" refers to "freeks", as in *free* - that's as close to a "label" that's needed for people who agree with the Prophecy. Among the first line of attack from dominators are accusations of "worship", followed quickly by the "p" word (paranoia) and armies of psychiatrists. Continents of credibility are leveled with "p". I don't know how you connected "worship" with "Jimi's demise," probably the way I used the word "destructive." Seeing "the Hendrix story" in terms of "religion," meaning "to link back," as in explaining the origins of life on Earth and human society, the concept of worship throughout history has been a source of contention between people, like a spotlight on differences between groups who invest their heaviest emotions in alternate beliefs and then fight each other over which way is "correct" or required. Anyway that's a quick attempt to answer your question. The full blown explantion is a section of Rock Prophecy. *You seem to imply that the whole 'an asteroid could hit the Earth' idea *is something new, when in fact we, as a species, have been aware of *the possibility since at least the turn of the century. No, this also pertains to my post to J. Wortherspoon today. Human "awareness" of the asteroid threat over the past century is one topic of RP. What I am implying/claiming, is that the concentrated fixation of the past three years, since late 1995, results from the specific prediction of Jimi. "the original asteroid prediction which triggered an avalanche of asteroid stories in recent media" *Um, your guessing here, right? What proof do you have that your *text'triggered' the 'avalanche'? (Circumstantial will not do, in this *case.Cause and effect need to be shown along with concrete evidence.) "Circumstantial" will not do for you, however "coincidence" is a signature of Jimi's story and of Rock Prophecy. Much is to be said about coincidence. Most stories, from the classics to TV sit coms, use coincidence to pillar their plots. Your conditions for "credibility" reminds me of a favorite quote from St. Noam:"Many factors induce the media to conform to the requirements of the state-corporate nexus. To confront power is costly and difficult; high standards of evidence and argument are imposed, and critical analysis is naturally not welcomed by those who are in a position to react vigorously and to determine the array of rewards and punishments. Conformity to a 'patriotic agenda,' in contrast, imposes no such costs. Charges against official enemies barely require substantiation; they are, furthermore, protected from correction, which can be dismissed as apologetics for the criminals or as missing the forest for the trees. The system protects itself with indignation against a challenge to the right of deceit in the service of power, and the very idea of subjecting the ideological system to rational inquiry elicits incomprehension or outrage, though it is often masked in other terms." - Noam Chomsky Let's delineate the "paranoid" equation: - - Paul Allen seeks rights to the Hendrix legacy. - - Branton/Douglas & Co. obstruct. - - Micosoft money fuels Janie's rampage. - - The Hendrix production company employing me is scrutinzed under a Microsoft microscope. - - My work for the Hendrix production company is contributing to some heavy successes. - - My work for Paul Allen's museum is contributing to some heavy collections. - - Evidence that a Microsoft connection scrutinized Rock Prophecy at the LOC at the height of the Hendrix lawsuit cannot be confirmed. - - Microsoft teams up with NBC and DreamWorks. - - NBC and DreamWorks pull out the stops to finance asteroid stories. Wally imposes "high standards of evidence and argument" against any connection. St. Michael invokes an act of faith and asks, "Why don't they require 'concrete evidence' that the Star of Bethlehem had some connection with Jesus. Maybe it was just a coincidence and they're all paranoid." To be continued…whenever...Michael writes: *Somehow the end of the world just seemed to slip my mind for a while *there. But then we all have problems, don't we? ...yes... *Look at sex,... Voyeuristic proclivities aside (or is that on the side?)... *...it's been screwed around so much... (...this one is too obvious, even for me...) *...I'm surprised babies are still being born." All ya gots ta do ta do dat, is do dat; why should liberal attitudes toward sex negatively 'impact' the birth rate: One would think the opposite more plausible. *We're here trying to offer some answers, like why those scribes *corrupted certain gospels with negative edits. Look what they've done, *why, you can't even consider "herd thinners" with a straight face. It is not the concept of 'herd-thinners', as you say, that I cannot take seriously, but your statement that: *The origins and function of homosexuality are finally revealed - nature's *"avert-a-birth" herd thinners. Let's start with 'finally revealed': Unless the theory that population pressures (or any other mechanism) can trigger long term trends toward increased homosexual choice by the populace is backed up, at the very least, by long-term studies of both dense and sparse population centers (or other relevent considerations) factoring in prevalent public attitudes and/or sanction/persecution of the lifestyle by the studied society (including the 'impact' of laws and the opportunity for upward mobility), the only thing 'finally revealed' is that your 'herd-thinners' theory is still just that; a theory (a theory not original to yourself, BTW, but batted about in sociology circles for some number of years, now). *You're interested in answers and I'll do what I can, time permitting: Thanks. *He spoke directly about this process in his interviews.

Lyrical interpretation is more a personal sifting out of those elements in a work that feed the needs of the analyst than anything approaching a true statement of the artists intent, usually. One persons prediction is an- others literary allusion (illusion?) or rhetorical devise or stream- of-consciousness word association or coincidence. Intellectual honesty should force us to distinguish between those things we believe because our reason and the evidence of our senses support it; and those things we believe because of wishful thinking, default thinking (not having actually thought about or examined the belief) or deranged thinking. "Disclaimer: The preceding is not meant as a characterization of any persons, living or dead." *"We" refers to "freeks", as in *free* - that's as close to a "label" *that's needed for people who agree with the Prophecy. The Semantics Game: Establish *your* language as the basis for debate ALA pro-life vs. pro-choice vs. pro-abortion Vs, antiabortion; never-ending word games conveying subtle impressions effecting the unwary/unsuspecting/unsuspicious. *Among the first line of attack from dominators are accusations of *"worship", followed quickly by the "p" word (paranoia) and armies of *psychiatrists. Continents of credibility are leveled with "p". I don't *know how you connected "worship" with "Jimi's demise," probably the way I *used the word "destructive." Exactly: now that I reread that portion, I find I misinterpreted your emphasis. *Seeing "the Hendrix story" in terms of "religion," meaning "to link back, *" as in explaining the origins of life on Earth and human society, the *concept of worship throughout history has been a source of contention *between people, like a spotlight on differences between groups who invest *their heaviest emotions in alternate beliefs and then fight each other *over which way is "correct" or required. Right. Then what would motivate your desire to create another alternate belief? Don't we already have enough divisiveness without adding yet another theory/belief unsubstantiated by anything more than a supernatural 'vision' or blind faith adherence to the teachings of a 'seer' as interpreted by a self-proclaimed prophet with exclusive insights deserving of sainthood? I MUST be missing something here!! *Anyway that's a quick attempt to answer your question. The full blown *explantion is a section of Rock Prophecy. Thanks. *What I am implying/claiming, is that the concentrated fixation of the past *three years, since late 1995, results from the specific prediction of *Jimi. Bolstering that claim with only the weight of coincidence and circum- stancial evidence as 'proof': very unscientific. *"Circumstantial" will not do for you, however "coincidence" is a *signature of Jimi's story and of Rock Prophecy. Much is to be said *about coincidence. Yes, much: Coincidence; perverted into a false synchronicity bordering on disingenuous fraud, misdirection and self-delusion: a useful, employable, tactical muddying of the waters with irrelevant side issues and 'what ifs'. Coincidence: random chance and circumstance used either naively or man- ipulatively to instill a National Star 'Wow, did you read that: There MUST be something to it because it's in print' response from those insuf- ficiantly sophisticated of thought, narrow in learning or just simply wanting to believe SOMETHING in a world where so much is illusion and de- ception. I, personaly, would rather believe nothing than to fall for every- thing, but being human, I 'fall' for things with alarming regularity, much to my occasional chagrin. *Most stories, from the classics to TV sit coms, use coincidence to pillar *their plots. Your conditions for "credibility" reminds me of a favorite *quote from St. Noam: The fact that the writers of Gilligans Island used (misused, overused) the plot devise of coincidence somehow sanctions the practice and gives weight to your 'use' of it? Ok. (he said with a straight face) *"Many factors induce the media to conform to the requirements of the *state-corporate nexus. To confront power is costly and difficult; high *standards of evidence and argument are imposed, and critical analysis is *naturally not welcomed by those who are in a position to react *vigorously and to determine the array of rewards and punishments. The two thoughts in this statement (#1 that high standards of evidence and argument are required before a change can be made to the status quo, and #2, critical analysis is not welcome in the debate) are mutually exclusive and unsupported by logic. OF COURSE 'high standards of evidence and ar- gument are imposed' upon contemplation's of major changes in outlook or practice; we should insist on nothing less. Human history is littered with the rotting corpses of those who sought change without critical examination of the options and outcomes (Soviet Russia being THE case in point in mo- dern times, Noam, along with Mao's China and Cambodia's Killing Fields among many unfortunate others); a cost/benefit analysis is crucial for policy considerations and SHOULD BE! Fools rush in... *Conformity to a 'patriotic agenda,' in contrast, imposes no such costs. While it is true that those of us who pay attention and question the powers that be, or those who would like to BECOME the powers that be, pay a cer- tain price for such ideological pursuits, the alternative is the sur- render of free will: something most religions could not function without, IMO. *Wally imposes "high standards of evidence and argument" against any *connection. Wally wishes you to examine the importance and relevance of the evidence and think for yourself. *St. Michael invokes an act of faith and asks, "Why don't they require *'concrete evidence' that the Star of Bethlahem had some connection with *Jesus. Maybe it was just a coincidence and they're all paranoid." St. Michael wishes you to just believe, but is not adverse to presenting 'evidence' of a circumstantial nature and calling it fact in an attempt to have it both ways. St. Michael is very clever... At least, that's how I see it. Wally Oo0oOo0oOo0oOo0oOo0oOo0oOo0oOo0oO Oo oO Oo "...'. ...... ......., oO Oo Watch the parking meters." oO Oo oO Oo0oOo0oOo0oOo0oOo0oOo0oOo0oOo0oO P.S. Anyone have that bewitching Aunt Clara's number? P.S.S. It was NO coincidence that Gillian's hut had a wall in common with MaryAnns, THAT'S for sure!!!! "Put some filler between those bamboo thingies, Gilligan!" "Ok." (Anyone seen my meds?) "Is that you little buddy?" P.S.S.S. What the #&^$@!! am I talking about, anyway???
IMO, Axis was a character created by Jimi personifying the concept that the position of the earths axis (the imaginary line that extends through the center of the earth and around which the earth 'spins') shifts every few millennium and can cause changes in our planet as well as human society. I pulled out my bootleg copy of 'Long Distance Calling' and transcribed the pertinent portion for your reading pleasure!! (Fair use!) Interviewer: "...tell me, how did the album title come about for 'Axis: Bold as Love'? Jimi: (giggles) "Oh yeah, well, Axis like, you know, that's...that's a change, you know, of the scene, you know, so a new civilization comes every time it changes, you know. And so, uh, Axis can change the whole scene for us just like love can, you know, so blah blah, woof woof...(giggles)...Axis: Bold as love, you know... some corny idea..." Despite Jimi's self-depricating humor, and his quite obvious buzz, he realizes the concept brilliantly with both 'Axis: Bold As Love' and 'Up From The Skys' (LOVE both these songs!!!!). In UFTS: "I have lived here before the days of ice And of course this is why I'm so concerned And I come back to find the stars misplaced And the smell of a world that has burned The smell of a world that has burned Yeah, well, maybe, maybe it's just a change of climate"
The shifting of the earths axis, it was theorized in the 60's, would bring about ice ages ("...the days of ice...") and geologic stresses causing volcanic activity ("...the smell of a world that has burned..."). Since the revolution of the earth would bring different parts of the sky into view, as the stars visible from the southern hemispere are not the same ones were used to up north, for instance ('the stars misplaced') the stars would appear to have moved. (Lots of IMO's in all this, folks, so insert them where applicable.) Jimi loved these kinds of sci/fi speculations, and wrote numerous songs imploying these sorts of conceptualizations. Were they predictions, or just songs? For instance, 'Third Stone From The Sun'. One could start their own religion with this song! Basic dogma: #1 Be nice to chickens! #2 Colonel Sanders was the anti-christ! #3 The Perdue Demon listens to rap! #4 Titillating Teriyaki Breasts! (I know how to get converts!) #5 The starship will land in the mountains. #6 We MUST destroy all surf music BEFORE they get here!!!!!! Disciples are required to pool all their earthly resources into a fund for the maintenance of the great seer, myself: the only one who knows how to increase the IQ of the worlds chickens, thereby averting disaster. Well worth it, don't you think? Well, DON'T you think? Wally the Mistake ...er, I mean Mystic! (I got MOST of the letters right!) NOTE: This dialoge ends at that point. Enough has been said for folks of sound mind to make a judgement.
