Citizen Screwed
“The Project”
By:
Gypsy Barnum

For those of you who don’t understand it – I say, “what’s to understand about a 3 ring Circus? It’s a “happening.” A “non-linear experience” from another world. A politically incorrect theatre of the absurd, for which I am currently in the process of writing an “overview or synopsis” to better clarify its substance. Watch for it, it might make sense.

Nevertheless, explaining “The Paranormal” is of far less importance than explaining the reasons for which I made this quantum leap into “the absurd”, where all paranormal events are manifested.

Every word that Gypsy Barnum writes is for the purpose of supporting “The Animal Sanctuary & Miracle Ranch” for which “The Greatest Show in Cyber Space” was originally launched on “The Information Super Highway.” Like Willie Nelson’s famous song “On the Road Again”, this 3 Ring Circus is on its own Unique Road to immortality.

Profits accrued from “The Wild West Of The Internet” to books, comic books, cartoons, novelties, theatre, movies, television, or the potential revival of The Frontier Circus & Wild West Show by which it was originally inspired – will go to the welfare and care of displaced members of “The Animal Kingdom” who are the real ‘Citizens Screwed” of this world.

The traditional circus has always been enriched by its inextricable tie to the animals, and so it follows that the lives of the animals should be enriched by the presentation of this non-traditional circus.

Barnum’s Exo Biological Adventure into “Elsewhere”
Gypsy Barnum that is:
The Only Sawdust & Spangled Earthling who knows the way to
The Planet Bizarro
From whence all Circuses, Sideshows, Carnivals & Wild West Shows have their origins.

As in the days of “La Strada” where my own unlikely introduction into the world of the circus began – La Strada...meaning “The Road” to the current extraordinary equestrian presentations of “The Great Herman Family in Sarasota, Florida where by “Passing The Hat” is a traditional way of garnering revenue – I’m asking you, our followers and fellow ‘Citizens Screwed” to support our efforts in keeping the Citizen Screwed Website active by contributing to ‘The Greatest performances” donation/tip jar. Our way of “Passing the Hat”.

As per the Biblical Admonition; “Despise Ye Not The Day Of Small Beginnings”.


By contributing to this “Great Performances” TIP JAR, you are standing on the launch pad of a different kind of artistic expression.  A “3 Ring Circus Of A Third Kind” which will be instrumental in salvaging the lives of untold animals in both the present & the future whose lives will be saved by “The Strawhouse Capacity of The Greatest Show In Cyberspace”.

FYI: Strawhouse in Circus Lingo equates with packing a circus tent to capacity by placing clean straw around the length & breadth of ‘The Hippodrome track” when alternate seating capacity has been exhausted so that waiting crowds of people willing to sit on clean straw will be afforded the opportunity to see the circus.

“Greatness” per se, sometimes comes from Inspired Madness. What Natives Americans refer to as Crazy Wisdom. The Province of “The Unexplained”.  The genius that sometimes emerges sporadically from “Chaos” as described by Charlie Chaplin who said, “Out Of Chaos Comes the Birth of a Star”.  As in Jackson Pollack’s inability to stand upright & avoid spilling paint. Or --- Pablo Picasso’s aversion to painting any human like figures that failed to approximate the most hideous of Sideshow Anomalies within the context of a cockamamie landscape that doesn’t make one iota of sense.

An alternate but similar oxymoron comes to mind whereby one of the greatest of all masterpieces, “A Starry Night” was prefaced by a bloody ear mailed to a “friend” -- who had his own issues with any reality not pertaining to luscious naked & brown South Sea Island Beauties.  Both painters’ works now sell in the multi-millions, as does Jackson Pollack’s.

In a “nutshell” “greatness” has very little to do with making sense. Which is why our post modern world now stands on the brink of the abyss, having consistently pursued the short term objectives of linear reality & immediate gratification at the expense of the long term benefits of that which doesn’t add up. The ease with which one can understand something is no barometer of its intrinsic value or ultimate long term potential for BOX OFFICE SUCCESS.

Though I speak with the tongues of angels or at times talk gibberish – if you ever have any hope of understanding this ‘project” & seeing it translated into the latest Sci-Fi Super Hero Action Adventure of the Age of Unreason...
