>>> THOUGHTS REGARDING THE TENNESSEE WILLIAMS FESTIVAL:
1. It is important to first remember what Tennessee Williams said about practicing Episcopalian women (and similar), this likely a paraphrase. When someone attempted to stop one of them from doing a hateful act in the Name of Jesus, Tennessee halted the guy, saying, "Don't push her, baby, she would die of shock if she understood what she has actually become."
Allean Hale is now 100 years old and living in Iowa, after her career in Champagne-Urbana.
2. The first time I attended this festival, one of the first people I met was Allean Hale, then the Oldest Professing Williams Scholar. She told me she had TWICE tried to research the death and disbursement of Tennessee Williams's will, mainly accessing Sewanee/University of the South's records, and for BOTH those summers Sewanee BLOCKED her access to much of what she asked for and she made little progress figuring it out -- and sounded like she came to HATE the Episcopal Church.
She asked me to continue this work, and I agreed. I dedicated my memoir of working for Tennessee Williams to Allean.

Also, at the first Scholars' Talk I attended that year, Allean told them all that Tennessee hated scholars more than anyone else. He did, and he often ridiculed them. I don't feel the same way, although I get Tennessee's points.
3. Now the past times I participated in the Festival, I noticed a LOT of these type of women were on the Board -- even though the Festival has NOT been supported by Sewanee or the Episcopal Church for at least five years now -- and weighted toward Episcopalians who like to be photographed in front of the trappings of Landed English Gentry.
I can only say to them that I know LOTS of actual practicing Episcopalians who are fine people following the teachings of Jesus, and have NO IDEA that the Episcopal Church, USA is now PRIMARILY a system of distributing drugs in the USA, and I have had FOUR admitted narco-traffickers in Chacala, Nayarit, Mexico, tell me they WORKED FOR THE EPISCOPAL CHURCH, and one of them tried to BRIBE me into shutting up about it with a POUND OF MARIJUANA.
Naturally, I accepted it, then immediately gave away nearly all of it, which "Marma Duke" witnessed, that being far too much to possess in Mexico, legally.
This CORRUPTION of the Episcopal Church, USA is known to virtually ALL Americans visiting Puerto Vallarta, so I assume it is now pretty well known in the United States, so should NOT be a controversial topic.
4. Additionally, I have more right to speak about it than most, and for several reasons. Just like gay people call homosexuals who have no self respect "Faggots" with impunity, and Black folk call their own members with no self respect "Niggers" (and those not belonging to those groups use these terms "variously", and often get into trouble), I have the right to speak FRANKLY about the various churches I have worshiped with: Roman Catholicism, Episcopalian, Science of Mind, and Presbyterian.
And the Episcopal Church has no greater financial support than Tennessee Williams, whose estate is now valued at nearly $1 Billion USD. Coming in second is My Greater Kenan Family, who have given nearly $100 Million to them over the last 90 years -- MOSTLY to Sewanee (in support of White Supremacy and their Confederate Mace -- even their guest house is named "Rebel's Rest" -- which burned to the ground mysteriously about a year ago).
Rebel's Rest on fire, June 2014
Several disgruntled Sewanee alums who were lawyers in Birmingham, Alabama, contacted me at the depths of the Great Recession, to say that alumni donations had fallen hugely when Sewanee FINALLY gave in to "Political Correctness" and retired that Confededrate Mace, their symbol of Power and Authority.
Sewanee and Episcopal Church Confederate Mace.
THEY are who told me the Walter Dakin Fund (Tennessee's estate), had grown and in those DEPTHS was worth about 1/3 Billion, that about 2009. I estimate growth since then.
But they were mostly angry that Rt. Rev. J. Neil Alexander, formerly Archbishop of Atlanta, now head of Sewanee's Theology (sic) Department (who with their Chief Council Donna Pierce have made idle threats of suing me for LIBEL), was using Tennessee Williams's estate to cover up for the fallen alumni donations.
Now with the HUGE support of the Kenan Family, you might think they would step in, but the wealthy Kenans are complicit in the murder of Tennessee Williams -- at least indirectly -- so MILK THE GOLDEN CALF, no???"
And with Tom Kenan and his closest ally Nanerl Keohane (past head of Duke University), so entangled with President Drew Griffin Faust of Harvard, it is no wonder Harvard -- including when I contacted nearly every Trustee, getting no replies -- DOES NOT CARE.
And the wealthy Kenans, besides endowing the Episcopal Church, are also big supporters of the Ku Klux Klan and the Republican Party -- but their Charitable Trusts are some of the best.
Well, Tennessee is long dead and doesn't care now, anyway, so neither do I any longer -- but I will NOT be shut up unless I begin lying about it all!!!
And I do NOT intend to make major point of this -- nor the link between Stone Mountain, Georgia narco-trafficking and the Cathedral St. John the Divine in NYC, as it might be particularly uncomfortable.
I WILL, if called for, discuss what admitted CIA killer in Puerto Vallarta, "Sonny", told me about HIS involvement expanding Drug Gangs up and down the East Coast of the USA, and HIS connection to the Episcopal Church. He was convicted of only SOME of his crimes about 18 years ago, then let out of a 25 year sentence in US Federal MAX SECURITY prison after serving only 11 of his 25 years sentence. Today, he is in Mexican prison, hoping not to be extradited to the USA to face his other crimes, which he told me have no statute of limitation.
Anyway, there will be some verbal pitfalls I must try to avoid. Americans have had their news controlled by the CIA for too long, and unlike in Mexico where everyone knows of Presidente Pena Nieto's and President Barack Obama's considerable -- especially Mr. Obama's -- gay life, this is mostly known only by those who travel internationally and see foreign press, which is usually freer than in the USA -- although that has RAPIDLY been changing, Obama's "gay cat" is still hidden by CIA-beholden US Media.
>>> OTHER THINGS:
1. Five days ago, I went to the office of Telecable, my internet provider, to pay my bill and request repair to fix my internet connection. They took the money, all right, but claimed they spoke NO ENGLISH and could not understand what I meant about repair. The agent DID pull up my account and I saw lots of notes about previous service calls, so since my complaints previously were about "no DNS server", I knew they knew the problem, and when I plugged all back in last night, I had internet, which has since been working flawlessly.
And no obvious hackers in my computer, now, either.
2. I know I seem HARD in my response to my sister Jane in my last blog posting. In my opinion, it is HARD LOVE and not pleasant, but necessary. My siblings are so from another world (level of consciousness), than me, now, I expect to end up with no contact with them for a few years, at least. Perhaps when Mom dies they will realize how brain-washed they are, but they are DESPICABLE now, and I have no time for their non-sense. I will also keep any additional back and forth OFF my blogs, as I am embarrassed for them.
