Most important to any fake story is a plausible, realistic edge with a satirical twist that is topical.

In 1968 I organized the Hippie Bus Tour to Queens as a satirical cultural exchange tour and I attempted to burn down a Vietnamese Village Nativity I erected in Central Park to protest the war in Vietnam.

But I learned first-hand how the news media operates by watching how they interpreted, changed, and misrepresented my intentions.

It is the fool who thinks he cannot be fooled.

I didn't want or need anyone's permission.

I want people to be amused or amazed but fooled.
