Excavating The Truth In Seven Words Or

Before I let you see this videoclip, I feel I should first make a certain point that I've made from time to time regarding some of the videoclips I've posted on this site: nothing is proven by it, unless you read my July 30th blog when it was published and not two days later. Because this here blog site may indicate a publication date, yet one finds that it can misrepresent the actual date of publication, whether one wishes to have this site serve as a reliable record of the date of publication or not. For this reason, I did not create this videoclip to prove something, I made it to pass something along to those who already believe in my veracity, and to those who may someday believe in my veracity (as opposed to those who presume me a liar, an idiot, or delusional).

For that matter, those things I've copyrighted with the Library of Congress are scarcely proven to one and all as having been created when the copyright states they were, in the sense that those who cannot access these works through the Library of Congress wouldn't get their proof of the exact work's date of publication until such is demonstrated in a court of law. And as for common-law copyright, even if a hundred people saw a 1993 video of mine in 1993, you don't get to see those hundred people bearing witness to the fact that it was indeed created no later than 1993, and you wouldn't have to believe them if they did bear witness. Then there's the stuff of mine posted on sites where the date of publication presented is to be relied upon and cannot be tampered with. Yet who knows, perhaps someday those sites will be gone, or my works banished from them. Because in order for me to show that I'm the major influence I claim to be, I don't just post my own original videos - I also post videoclips like the one you'll see in this blog, videoclips that contain things copied off the TV (a no-no that leaves me vulnerable). I post such videoclips in order to be able to make a clear point, by way of inter-editing my works with the works they've influenced, showing the cause and the effect side-by-side. Because, fancy that, I'd like people to see what I mean about my being a major influence.

One thing I might be saying here is, despite my considerable and extensive influence on innumerable works by others, from The Beatles to Starting Up A Brand New Day to the Rolling Stones to Spielberg to you-name-it, I'm still left at square one, no doubt because it serves the interests of the powers that be - which might be more tolerable if not for the fact that I am so major an influence. Is it possible that this ultimately taints the works of all who found their rationale for leaving something essentially of a historical nature in such a convoluted state? God knows. It is unfortunate that I am not made out of rubber, able to exhibit flexibility in all matters of consequence. And so I still look for something to happen regarding this situation.
