Delay

As i attempt to find an undisturbed workspace plus set up some provisional collaboration (mutual benefit - using an electrical socket in a stationary quiet place) in respect of someone who is attempting to design a template for a shared land use scheme .... 

Probably my own presentation will have to be put on hold.... as once again i  remain not quite fully engaged in what i wish to only be doing.  Merely as one has to compromise unfortunately and divert time/energy to another's easy project  airgapped from my purpose,  but it takes from my concentration merely on my own material, all i want to do

THIS PAGE really will be much improved by I hope around 7  May - takes me time due no electrical socket (and the libraries of the region i inhabit are sick madhouses of endless shoutiness  - indeed a perfect metaphor FOR UK society, so i cannot concentrate there) , but there's already more than anyone else gives. Meaning credentials, bio, and assurances of  no fraud, or lying, or self aggrandisement.

This page (and google id) is sort of temporary  - only for a few months prior to moving ALL my material to the new permanent website below.

This page will be improved by 7 May  - material already written to upload here, soon.

A longer waffle is in this from 27 April

I am setting up specifically for the writing (and MUCH evidence in audios over 15 years) on, sadly,  environmentalism sham - seen day after day from the INSIDE,  a new stand alone website called https://www.pseudeia.com/ where stories and recordings will be gradually added to as a repository of the eco fraud REALITY.

This google id will by mid summer  be moved into that new site pseudeia.com

I launched a major (public) counteroffensive 26 April against the worst of pseud greenwashing by 'environmentalISTS' of the Hay-on-Wye region.

  

 For simplicity, but it is wrong as a term 'greenwash'  - I say so as (lifetime) but my last 15 years especially focused on environmental and nature-protection 'causes' in the (MOST BBC covered area of the UK AS ENVIRONMENTAL SYMBOL) Wye valley region it is sadly only the environmentalISTS who allowed complete eco destruction to have occurred there from around 15 years ago...previously West Herefordshire was England's most biodiverse and  healthy ecosystem. I need to tell that tale properly now.    IN short they - my people in theory,  simply did nothing real  - meaning engage in the well understood democratic checks and balances, to hold back  greedy rapacious development. (BOTH domestic -  repurposing so may old farm outbuildings and newbuild  - causing population to roughly double in 20 years without improved waste removal systems  - meaning home sceptic tank upgrade as most rural properties are not in the municipal system , and also trebling or more of 'factory' farming)... aside the country's most symbolic nature repository of a river 

12 April 2024 FOOTNOTE. I only operate IN and with the daylight... i am the opposite of a MM  - see ralphschism.com from this January for definition of Maggiemermaid - sadly the vampiric vapid reason that environmentalism ALL failed..

11 April 2024 launch of funding drive

dedicated unpaid environmentalist for 15+ years.  From 2019 decided i must write the truth of W Herefordshire and E powys 

I started to plan an expose and publish here https://dilettanteenvironmentalism.blogspot.com/  summer 2021 but felt so unsafe i decided i must leave the area permanently to publish a FAR fuller range of truths including eco crimes i have video evidence of by highups in the council (at their own land) 

so decided to halt until i left the region.

I began to publish a range of material naming names on

 simonclayton2020.com and 

ralphschism.com 

from early spring 2023. Both of those sites have very good regular readership. ( and a successful slow growing REAL youtube channel  @ralphschism - i have never promoted the growth - its all word of mouth and i have no social media and few friends :-) 

The last year has been tough running out of money entirely and no reliable work where i have moved to.

Any assistance either 

Stripe (v safe) preferable.  The link  to my Stripe account is on this page 

https://www.ralphschism.com/p/funding.html

(obviously my site if you look back over the last year many videos etc)

or paypal 

paypal.me/simonclayton2021

paypal id =  @simonclayton2021

In here via new write ups and links to many existing online pages, stories, videos, audios you will find more biographical and personal info than you will have ever seen connected to any funding pitch. If you cannot 'trust' me to be who i am, and dedicated to my projects i don't know who you can...  I have been told various times over 15 years i can write beautifully (by London high culture operators) and communicate with quite unique poetical energy. But it's all woven in with  range of duller prosaic stuff, so it will take me a while to lay out  

THIS PAGE - my MAIN new starting point page for beggingbowls, and other assistance, and it will be MUCH improved /edited by about 15 April 2024

 and finalised by around 1st May 2024

do come back, though there is tons to wade through and much good free content already (on  https://www.ralphschism.com/ and from 2020 more seriously framed     https://www.simonclayton2020.com/ )

 This new higher level site - no one has ever been linked to prior today, is about what next..

Only the crowdfund traffic  sees it, from 10 April 2024) 

I have a range of pitch material made the last few months and already on youtube and my website  - links organised soon, with new audios and videos about my work past and intended.

In short, my whole last 7 years that i wish to weave into various material for publication - some straightforward how-to (e.g. live well on nothing whilst 3 years homeless, and seven years MAIN occupation rambling around developing pro EU rhetoric ), some poetical and Proustian; but above all is to foster a NEVER moan, fighting spirit via words and some homemade broadcast. 

ALL always has a silver lining. But i don't do cheesy, fake  'feel good'. I do feel good for adults, who have lived... even through several hells. And want to pass on to the next generation how to fight and not be brought to your knees, even losing all...as I have.

I am self taught, only...and am lucky, i left my mark...

Projects many years meandering into, and sketching out, now to  focus on fully:

It is so much nicer and less angsty to sit with pen and paper, rather than ever worry about laptop battery drain.

Several more pages of write up coming soon.

IN HERE, two files (i have thousands like this) where i share thoughts about a project ongoing to advise a well known woman of how to seek wider redress after a troubling episode. And then run the thing by a many year friend of mine.  I shall turn this into a pamphlet or full essay one day.

I should bleep her but i trust you!

This page - my (safe) first point of contact page,  may be necessary as although i have NO 'enemies' even the UK government hated me for solo reform of a legal culture 2006 see simonclayton2020.com  and then in April 2009 i embarrassed in public the Minister of Justice, "hoodwinker" Straw. Lets just say they encouraged certain people to try and destroy my spirit. They failed. 

My nationally significant work then - i was always operating alone,  certainly protected many many thousands of parents - mainly mothers, from the worst of UK state cruelty. 

But i am careful as to layers of backup  - as i dont wat to lose my scrappy online writing.

   As there is much unique content within.

And even poetical writing - my only true love. I wish to improve but need time and space.

I started to ponder getting funded in this mode - simply landloping and as i go writing waffling memoir BUT also some truly good psychology, law etc...

I began these pages a few months ago, to be completed soon. No one has ever paid me a penny.

I have lived ONLY on £100/week for everything, for 10  years... as i started to focus on a wandering George Borow type wandering bard investigation of who we, and I...really are... whilst running various causes: pro EU, Green...and others.

( I HAVE PERFECT trust credentials - all my whole life every second is already in audios on ralphschism.com plus also various pledges " on my daughter's life" ... i cannot lie. My health is perfect, i have no bad habits etc... something will go up on that soon, already made - i even have references from 4 officials in Christian churches - they will appear soon... they are readers of my site and morally support me,  despite me being rather cheeky about their religion - i do not follow...though believe in 'something' ineffable..)

i shall soon itemise every penny i need. To keep going only in the most humble fashion. I am VERY good at admin. 

https://www.ralphschism.com/p/funding.html

https://www.ralphschism.com/p/patronage.html?m=1

i used to operate online so so methodically and looking for sensitive 'protocols' to follow... meaning what is the current 'acceptable' way of doing things?  Nowadays GET ON WITH IT....

One example and a way i am likely to have considerable online (news) attention is here. 

https://www.ralphschism.com/2024/04/efficiency.html?m=1

i tried a 'pitch' a week ago with an acquaintance, on the ethics of me attempting to intervene on a nationally significant future major legal case, described here. And with fruity audios. 

https://www.simonclayton2020.com/p/wye-mar-2024.html?m=1

I have already announced to various gossips i am doing this heretical act, sabotaging the major legal case. Already there will be talk. I shall formally launch the TRUTH into the matter by early May.

I will be putting credentials here soon - copies of my bank statements (never anything in for 20 years) driving license etc etc..

testimonials..

i am 100% transparent

but i no longer have time tow waste so i shall probably try a few funding sites in parallel and put all the links here - i.e. total transparency....  and NOTIME to read terms and conditions...

launched mid April

( i have no ongoing social media or  digital reach beyond ralphschism.com which has ONLY been passed on face-to-face the last year, so i have to just try and chuck campaigns around. Perhaps someone browsing these sites may find me - i literally am virgin... in this new life sought  - funding it - or rather i seek to continue, after my first year as wandering scribe...)

THIS IS THE 'STANDARD' PITCH I HAVE PUT ON CROWDFUND SITES copied out again here - to be improved in time

 Profile pic is 2021 me on Offa’s Dyke -  where I lived the last 10 years, by Kington, pointing at the nearby site of terrible 2020 wildlife crime (I was nature steward of the region). I had to leave that my 25 year past home, forever, to now openly refer to it even in poems,  or I would have been hurt by the perp’s henchmen, , or worse.

 

 

Hi my name is Simon. I operate online at the penname website ralphschism.com. Most openly, and i was well known- nationally. (more GOOD press than bad… all that matters… I am known personally to a range of senior establishment journalists for example,  who maybe will be giving me references soon for this funding attempt)

I live very very frugally off grid 3 years, and  am now for the first time, attempting to get funds, advances, or practical help, to ONLY write / create, for the rest of my life (superb health).

 Due strained circs i will write fully here new thoughts to share for possible patrons (only) ,  https://ralphwalkson.blogspot.com/ explaining in fullest detail and my projects for now and you will see all that is  here,  duplicated there plus a  LOT more, and many links to my as yet first draft work - 100s of hours, thousands of pages are online all for free.

(including stories - as I decry all fraud and illusion, of how people in my 20+ year local  community of Hay-on-wye  - until 2014 - centre of supposed goody goodies [‘Guardian reader, ultra ‘woke’] ,  fraudulently use crowdfunding in an appalling fake way, from late 10s but   espesh 2020 – I have many examples to publish soon of this, as I decry fraud )

For 20 years i have been one of UK's most successful real (not armchair) legal, then environmental activists. I have taken real personal risks, and even suffered GREATLY. But i would not have my life one second different. This includes being arguably the most successful UK Freedom of Speech legal campaigner. I, alone, 2005-6, changed a law that affects more citizens than any other and more legal cases in the main London courts (Royal Courts of Justice ).

 

I am now trying to only spend the next decade writing various books and essays on my various journeys and adding to a large well-read collection of poetical postings, and audio/video reflections. All, thus far for free (my full time occupation). Much of the future writing is already in audios and videos made on the hoof the last 12 months at ralphschism.com and simonclayton2020.com it needs editing improving and separating out into 4or 5 separate books. 

 

I need to buy a few months stationary somewhere with a quiet electrical socket, to edit. I live near 3  years most happily on extremely low budget  only in a small van (only writing the last 18 mths) . No electrical power, heat or facilities. Indeed this has been a central (NOT feeling sorry for self) part of the recent best ever ‘journey’ – becoming entirely free of distraction, to become more poetical  and even funny.

But with limited access to laptop power  all takes time.

 I will be improving this pitch by 1st May. 

I have many readers at ralphschism and (without ANY social media or friends ever helping spread my content) including 300 new subscribers 1000,000 views in the last 6 months at the youtube channel associated. 

I am rebooting everything ONLY for patrons, here, if I find them - and new exclusive content ONLY goes to readers of my crowdfund (s, probably) https://ralphwalkson.blogspot.com/

My previous readers will not even know of that new site. I literally write (the last year)  around 6 books consecutively bit by bit – often thus far interwoven  in stories and audios, but  I need to unravel and reweave as separate colourful tapestries.

 

i will be using as update page (for this campaign)

https://ralphwalkson.blogspot.com/2024/04/fundraising.html

because my time at laptop is so limited it is more efficient for me at the moment

Anyone may even call me 0600-1900 7 days my number on sites

 

. I also seek some collaboration - hard to find as i live rural out of the way parochial places. Presently the Cornish Coast.

 I could use assistance   i have NO 'privacy' setting myself - meaning no fear  of prying, nor fear of naughtiness, even hacking, as all my material is treble backed up (and silo'd) and no one could harm me  (i take precautions - there are many nutjobs out there) ... I am currently one to one counselling a  famous woman -  ex very senior clergy..(i have spent a fir bit of face to face time with the last 3 months). who was stabbed in the back by her bosses...  on how to gracefully get her own 'justice' via seditious but authoritative writing...  i mention this merely as i am full time on writing/speaking about the necessary 'resistance' - but it MUST be fun..women i meet take to me AND trust me as they know i am no axe murderer, fraudster, or fake.  

NB I do have great references, one a famous high-up religious woman I am currently counselling asa  friend, after she was brutally sacked for breaking the church’s draconian no political speech rules. I am helping her think about how to get justice – at present I cannot name (she is still ill after the breakdown this act caused in her) ,I  will soon

This is a too long audio waffle on what i do, have done, wish to do, and why fund...  (AND always i seek fellow troubadours on the same page - i meet them in person, but they never follow through even having a next up of coffee...  )

This is nothing new (for me)

In June 2021 i decided time to let rip

https://dilettanteenvironmentalism.blogspot.com/2021/06/the-most-simplistic-project-summary.html

But i had to keep my words secret until i left the region, behind schedule, in June 2023  - i would have been hurt for putting my name to that site 

kairos

 is a really helpful almost 'therapeutic' concept.

Word.

When someone attacks.... use their energy also to finish off long outstanding jobs - even if just format a phone, and set it to the future google id long planned...

this one, for funding drive. To start

NOW....

powered by only one... even if she assumes the opposite. 

Righty ho....

 off we go...

'thoughtfully' and coherently.

Which means STOP

And that is a hard word, when i just walk on and landlope around... as my whole life for a decade or more is merely movement; momentum.

I stop at a keyboard only between keeping on keeping on...

Which may in earlier years have been not going very far (except in my head as only ever entirely international of mind) 

The stop is really stop bothering to speak with anyone thoughtfully, as i have been ding for a decade. With several ethical hats on. Sometimes just to attempt human to human alliance over projects such as protecting the environment or wildlife; other times a bit deeper. Or occasionally 'ethically hustling'. Definition: 100% guaranteed mutual benefit. To explain one day.

Meanwhile the  dull phase must begin: getting some funding in so as to settle into writing carefully. Even if a kind of movement energised 'slam' poetical mode i rather like...indeed is life.

To Be cont...NOW

i have stopped.

or at least a year on, 22 February,  must, for good.

ralph walks

 

Is merely a new start afresh portal to Mister Schism

to send out to gatekeepers maybe grant applications

Far too may years i have been distracted from just writing a few rather funky stories. One of gradual appreciation of the ineffable  - but in a simplest way, claiming nothing other than acceptance. Etc..

Must start working on it by February latest.

Funding campaign

DRAFT

work in progress

This page is my way into general funding  -  either directly at https://www.ralphschism.com/p/funding.html

or via several crowdfunding sites i am setting up campaigns 

Someone said to me January 2010 that my life was an ongoing  "work of art".

That was not true then, but perhaps over the years since did become true.

And since then (not because of that curious statement to me) I do see much as simply part of an odyssey that is part work of art.

I have a huge  pile of writing recording and filming  from around 2010 that i must get to spending the rest of my life compiling into books and other forms of communication.

I seek assistance to start truly knuckling down to that work.

Podcasts or simply broadcasts - via any or all digital  media portals.

The last few years i have used podcasts as my own relaxation and education source. It was the case prior around the turn of this decade bbc radio 4 was a best source of xxx but gradually it has  become formulaic to a rather problematical formula.

And the drama is disastrous.

Substack

I believe in 100% transparency

Over the last decade i have sometimes set up web identities in pennames.

There is a slightly complicated reason for this, ultimately quite simple. I don't believe in 'anonymous' use of the web for reasons of besmirching or deceiving others.

In fact i hardly use the internet. But am quite adept if i need to.

I attempted a quite specific fundraiser a year ago  kickstarter

NOTHING new now...life ended... line drawn this Christmas day

Christmas

 Not a day that has been that easy in the past. But maybe this one is different. It is sort of happy... parked up in peace,  500m from the only woman i have valued fully for some years. And do love. 

This is not a blog. 

For a fair while - since January 2020, i have categorically been focusing on the only thing i feel i have to do with the rest of my life which is write well about pretty traditional 'psychological' or modern day ways of being.

I know i am pretty good. Though my 'FIRST DRAFT' of many things i have had in mind for years ralphschism.com has been so 'on the hoof' it is laughable. And as yet i am unable to edit and even index various interesting 'insights'

But I also believe in the story - which may even be a fairy tale, that reaches the heart or 'soul'. 

There has always really been one problem.

Strange in a way but true,  for 20 years i am above all  enhanced by love. In various forms. I know i surf the so energetic wave of love. Even if dysfunctional and painfully broken. And it hasn't worked out that i found the functional relationship of equals.

But there is the best love - innocent, perhaps slightly euphoric, boy meets girl and ...

I have rode that love, platonically, or even unrequited,  for eight years. I know it is the greatest of all energies. Bizarrely, with a whole range of almost disabilities - from being in the deepest abyss of grief for some years and even when you poke your head out, eventually, still for years more you are a little wounded, to happily never having any  spare money, and then other more unusual matters,  i have certainly for a decade always found  someone to feel some love for. Provisional, always 'unrequited' when occasionally i meet someone i know is 'right' for me,  but sometimes i have lived a significant wobbly orbit around ....one another.. even if one way, it rarely is only one way. Love between the sexes is the most powerful force there is - as it should be, and i have also had years of the other kind - absolute love of a child with me. 

However... i know one thing also - maybe it is  almost selfish or a bit wonky to be in this mode, which is that  i am at my best- or rather i feel happy - have an extra fulfilment, if anything i may write may sometimes be appreciated by one close to me or one i love. I have had that briefly at a distance - by communication with someone once significant years ago..once  from a year ago some appreciation of words,  from  the most valuable woman i have encountered for many years (the only one i am clear i wished to marry)  - and a real 'equal',  but never in a relationship. 

And i dont enjoy - or just cannot quite be fully alive and energised in writing unless i have hope that one day that may be the case- living with someone who also shares some ideas and may value my own input into the world just a bit. As i do in respect of a woman i first encountered in late autumn last year.

And still do.

I need that at least on the horizon. If it cannot beher, well...maybe i will chance across someone else...

I avoid the rather limited word 'muse', nope i just like the fellowship in having a happy helpmeet. It makes me able to be more, myself. But i know i am not selfish. In that the notion of 'muse' is maybe rather one way...i don't feel good about one way - even if we may have to persist with a 'one way' thing.... to bring it somewhere more two way   

It may never be possible that person is my life...wife... everything - purpose; and some days i feel energised (in hope there will be that person) others not so... 

And that is my only problem in life.

  I have been liberated the last year ONLY by her even if she hissed metaphorically. Liberated to share everything of myself past and present. It is good. That alone is a useful story.  I know what universally useful stories are.

So, i shall attempt some support gathering now- money - only to write. About other past insights first and other stories. My needs are simple minor daily needs. Having dedicated a year full time to only her ...  only.... finding a bridge to her, and failing, i simply am behind the curve. But soon i shall try  serious efforts to get maybe grant funding, maybe crowdfunding....

Now i should say!

No more time to not do what may be a good thing. We cannot know. I believe in magic of sorts.... 

This page will be my main new place to write anonymously  - but my identity is quite open - ralphschism takes you to my personal name website 

Fresh start. This time simply for perhaps readers who may be able to help  and value quite prosaic but poignant takes on life.
