My story is not for the religious or the atheistic or the agnostic... it is for everyone interested in the truth. This blog contains first drafts of poetry and prose for my series of books on Christ, the first of which, Waking Up Jesus, is being greeted kindly by critics. Thank you... John Scott Ridgway
TRUE STORY:
WAKING UP JESUS
The ongoing story of Jesus waking up in Chicago, in the body of an agnostic writer,
who is nothing like the Son of God the right-wing Christians watching him expected.
You are welcome to share my work with a link bank... keep getting asked this...
Last time I was here, I told them I would not lead a revolution, that I was there to spread heresy. The crowds thinned. The day they killed me, I marched alone... This time I have returned to find Romes Soldiers Sleeping, content they have killed off the Troublesome Jew. I was surprised how bloody the Indiana boy became as my sword fell again and again ....
In the years since this story began in 2007, my secret fame has spread out from the halls of power that kept me secret all these years, as they waited for the Christ to finally wake up...
I try to imagine their anticipation.
Remember a dream I had in my twenties about running thru Chicago screaming that Christ was coming back, and man oh man was I happy... a cloud came through the middle of the skyscrapers above me, in the thin strip of blue above Dowtown State street, and I expected to see Christ... instead, just a bunch of musicians painted up like Ziggy stardust.
I surprised my keepers. They thought they had me figured out from the Bible. If that book could have told you everything, there would be no need at all for me.
Jesus: "I have become Known across this planet as a dangerous man with a growing force of hidden followers who value my orders more than life itself. A prophet of war. Once and future King in a court of shadows. Life and death in my hands every damn day. I ROAR, your most mighty shit themselves and run. I make myself a known threat, so I can try to negotiate what otherwise requires bullets and blood. I am here to free the enslaved in body and mind. I cannot be defeated. When the Will of God and The WILL OF THE PEOPLE ARE ONE, NO FORCE ON EARTH CAN STOP US!"

LET'S CONVINCE JOHNATHON JACKSON TO RUN FOR THE MAYOR OF CHICAGO
Targeting: Johnathon Jackson (Rainbow Push)
Started by: John Scott Ridgway
Johnathon Jackson has been working to save this city, literally, since birth. He is a Finance Major who knows more about the crises we are in than any expert you talk to. In 2012, the same balloon payments that bankrupted the middle class and stole their houses, is going to come due for Commercial Loans. They cannot meet the balloon payments anymore than the housing community could. Thousands of businesses are supposed to tank. Johnathon is the man we are going to need to survive this -- Daley and his cronies will just figure out a way to make a few bucks off of this, or sell off the sidewalks to a private concern, or.... well, we all know how they operate. I urge you to watch Operation Rainbow Push on Saturday mornings at 10am on their site, live, or on television. Johnathon's astute lectures will convince you I am right.
For too long, the racists have hated the Jacksons', and many in the black community do not think they are radical enough... well, Johnathon is radical enough to make some serious changes. The hundreds of children killed in our city every year -- more this year than the soldiers who died in Afganistan and Iraq combined, would have the Marines going door to door if this happened in a white hood. I know only an afra-american mayor will take this as seriously as it should be. The national guards should have been brought in, if for no other reason than to show the kids that their society cares.
So, please, sign the petition and help Chicago move away from the Machine. AND add a message for Johnathon. To learn about his astute mind and sweeping heart and fire, watch him at 10am central time on Rainbow Push. They are on their website, local tv channels, etc... You will hear a professorial explanation of current history spoken in the words of a dynamic poet, and probably the best band in Chicago. Going down to the actual event on 51st is like seeing Martin Luther King with a great soundtrack.
