Paradise on Earth, 76, Factories 20 miles away

Ah, the eternal question: "Can men wear garlic in sock, undies, necklace, wreath on head and hold onto garlic inside gloves?"Clearly someone else will have to put the bread dough on our heads and faces...

Paradise on Earth, 74, Sublimator exposed

More along the lines of the last flyer, but this time detailing some actual phone calls and questions raised to the apparent folks behind the machinations of "subliminals."

There is one word handwritten into the document toward the bottom of the middle column, "workers," in case you're interested.

Paradise on Earth, 72, I am your native son

Here we get more detail on how "subliminals" might have an effect through phone and light poles, as well as a description of the anti-bird roosting pointy objects on many roofs as broadcast devices.  And I was especially smitten with the description of Norway's lack of phones and a correlative increase in socialism.

Paradise on Earth, 69, If we have cremations homocides take places

A mighty random edition of Paradise on Earth here, even by the erratic standards of the series.  Take back the Panama Canal!  No cremations!  Move the Yacht Club away from the Pentagon!

Paradise on Earth, 64, Is this the fuss over immigrants?

The first section of this flyer includes one of my favorite concepts in the whole series: with the battery out of a cell phone, hold it to your ear and you might hear a "wrow wrow" in 2-second phases?

When I hold mine up to my ear, I just hear the ocean.  I wonder what that means?

Anyway, I got so amused by the combination of Chinese paranoia and the "wrow wrow" of a battery-less phone that I ended up making some flyers of my own.  I intended to post them around the downtown area myself, but I never did.  The observer becoming the observed, etc.  But instead maybe I'll post them as our next installment for your entertainment.

Paradise on Earth, 61, self recovery

Lots of great stuff here, but the last line is easily my favorite.

Paradise on Earth, 59, Freedom of thought

Tiny crawling cubes!

Paradise on Earth, 54, Communist behaving persons are genociders

"Everybody likes a lawyer--even Chinese!"

So many walls, so little time.

Paradise on Earth, 53, Empty Chinese ships have arrived

Many previous themes collide here in new and uncomfortable ways...I don't even have enough room for all of the tags appropriate for this one.

Paradise on Earth, 52, Freedom from surveillance

A varied garden of paranoia here--but I do agree that the official death of the Fairness Doctrine, which has happened since this flyer would've been circulated, is a real drag.

Paradise on Earth, 51, Free speech cafe

I've heard that the author of these flyers might have fallen on hard times, and is trying to find a place to crash.  I do hope that s/he's okay.  Just to clarify the nature of this blog project, I'm interested in the actual content of the flyer series as a body of work--for me, it's a fascinating paranoia/Art Brut piece.  I find the juxtaposition of the increasingly weird content with the fairly moderate and coherent writing style irresistible.  And I wonder if this is the work of one person, or if the "Happiness Schools" organization in Iowa has something to do with them.  At any rate, I hope the author(s) are doing well, however they might define wellness.

Back to edition 51: "subliminals" continue to be discussed in greater detail.  Now they're coming through digital TV and the internet.  And their potential danger is briefly mentioned: "self-infliction."

I hope the folks who start building the wall on the West Coast stay away from open flames, considering all of the hairspray and insect repellent wafting around!

I do find myself in whole-hearted agreement with one paragraph of this flyer, though presumably for slightly different reasons: "Persons with advancements in technology need to consider advancements in society."  When society cannot advance then let's return to what is better for humans."  I'm exploring a variation of that notion toward its application to creative pursuits on my main blog, and hope to have a new post in that series in the next day or two.

Paradise on Earth, 28, I want health care a different way

Paradise on Earth, 9, More healings for mental distress
