Sparky Town, One World, Oakland Bohemians

What I suggest, is a team of prisoners be formed to go after Russian Trolls who hacked our election. The Radical Left was not there to protect Democracy, and go on the attack. When I met Bruce Perlowin I was reminded of my science fiction book ‘The Gidion Computer’.

Wanda Harkins was non-judgmental when she allowed ex-con, Bruce Perlowin, to live in her home. Jerry Rubin knocked on Wanda’s door, then want to down in the basement to conduct business and set up a networking philosophy that some are crediting with leading to the Internet. I designed a One World logo for Bruce, who me with my father who considered hiring him in his loan business. Larry Chazen was Vic’s private lender and partner to the Getty family in PlumpJack. Chazen was a partner of Christine in the Crossroads gallery. PlumpJack windery was picketed by Alcohol Justice that was part of the Buck Foundation that works on Longevity, a interest of the late Jerry Rubin, who was one of the Chicago Eight, as was Lee Weiner, who was a good friend of Lee Weiner, who my wife, Mary Ann Tharalden, and visitined when we went back East. Mary Ann was married to Thomas Pynchon, and went to school with him and Richard Farina. Michale Harkins and Peter Shapiro were at our wedding reception on Miles. Between Pinehave and Miles is Lake Temescal where camped the Bohemians who would found Carmel, and who would publish magazines and newspapers that advertised a alternative California lifestyle. This is the never before seen Network that was shown to me.

It’s all coming together in my James Bond revival, and the rebirth of the Radical Left for World Peace as foreseen by the Rose of the World Prophecy.

Sometime in the mid-70s Rubin reinvented himself as a businessman. Friend and fellow Yippie Stew Albert claimed Rubin’s new ambition was giving capitalists a social consciousness. In 1980 he began a new career on Wall Street as stockbroker with the brokerage firm John Muir & Co. “I know that I can be more effective today wearing a suit and tie and working on Wall Street than I can be dancing outside the walls of power,”^[1] he said. In the 1980s, he became known for his promotion of business networking, having created Business Networking Salons, Inc., a company that organized parties at the Studio 54 and Palladium nightclubs in Manhattan, where thousands of young professionals and entrepreneurs met and shared ideas. Near the end of his life, Rubin became interested in the science of life extension and was heavily involved in multi-level marketing of health foods and nutritional supplements.^[42] His business activities included marketing of a nutritional drink named Wow! that contained bee pollen, ginseng and kelp.^[1]

In 1892, Sterling met the dominant literary figure on the west coast, Ambrose Bierce, at Lake Temescal and immediately fell under his spell. Bierce — to whom Sterling referred as “the Master” — guided the young poet in his writing as well as in his reading, pointing to the classics as model and inspiration. Bierce also published Sterling’s first poems in his “Prattle” column in the San Francisco Examiner.

Sterling also met adventure and science fiction writer Jack London, and his first wife Bess at their rented villa on Lake Merritt, and in time they became best of friends. In 1902 Sterling helped the Londons find a home closer to his own in Piedmont, near Oakland. In his letters London addressed Sterling as “Greek” owing to his aquiline nose and classical profile, and signed them as “Wolf.” London was later to depict Sterling as Russ Brissenden in his autobiographical novel Martin Eden (1908) and as Mark Hall in The Valley of the Moon (1913).

The Society of Six was intensely devoted to a self-imposed set of rough-and-tumble attitudes that they found necessary for the maintenance of the visual purity in their works. They sensed that they were not making new art merely for the sake of newness, but with an exhilaration that was born from an overthrowing of subservient visual posturing over various sanctified art modes. Although they were a part of the San Francisco Bay Area modernist art scene in the 1920s, they had an allegiance primarily to themselves, and they were forced to be their own best audience. Influences upon them ranged from nineteenth century Impressionism to European Abstractionism. Although it is fairly easy to trace the more obvious influences, “The Six nonetheless, managed individually to fashion their own painting styles into fresh and ingenuous outdoor paintings which appear generally American and specifically Californian. They were regional painters in the best sense of the word.

“Will Bohemia arise in Oakland,” was the question asked in an article in the Oakland Tribune on April 22, 1917. The reporter told of the formation of an artist’s club of the East Bay with a membership of more than 30 painters, sculptors and art students including Selden Gile, William H. Clapp and William A. Gaw (1891-1973). Many of the things that made the area seem so desirable to “The Six” were mentioned in that review, such as the picturesque waterfront and the sunny rolling hills above the Bay. Oakland was depicted as “…a Bohemia where kindred spirits meet with art and the great adventures that stimulate art to color its atmosphere.”
