Seattle Suicide Watch

I'm distributed by studios that are owned by large corporate entities. Now, why would they put me out there when I am opposed to everything that they stand for ... it's because they don't believe in anything. They put me on there because they know that there's millions of people that want to see my film or watch the TV show, and so they're gonna make money. And I've been able to get my stuff out there because I'm driving my truck through this incredible flaw in capitalism, the greed flaw. The thing that says that the rich man will sell you the rope to hang himself with if he thinks he make a buck off it."
--Michael Moore, The Corporation (2003)

Never thought I'd say this, but Michael Moore is wrong. If anything, I'm living proof of how wrong he is ...

I recently went to the Emerald City ComiCon at the Washington State Convention Center. There I met Wil Wheaton (Ensign Crusher from Star Trek) and cartoonist Peter Bagge (who unfortunately turned out to be just as gratuitously snide as his character Buddy Bradley). Like most comic conventions, this well-attended event was a source of stimulating conversation and beautiful women dressed in superheroic spandex. I was especially pleased the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund had a table. A most worthy cause, the CBLDF was founded in 1986 as a 501 (c) 3 non-profit organization and is essentially the ACLU of the comic industry.

Within the few hours I was at the Emerald City ComiCon, I sold over forty copies of my comic book, Rufus the black cat (that's a dozen copies per hour -- let Peter Bagge beat that). Over the past several years, I've consistently sold hundreds -- if not thousands -- of copies of Rufus in record time. In addition, both the second and third printings of my second novel sold in the span of a single calendar year (and half of the first printing of my first novel sold during the first year of its release). So if Michael Moore's quote from The Corporation was correct, some capitalist would've invested in me and a nationwide book tour would've been paid for by now.

Moore claimed that capitalists, "don't believe in anything." This simply isn't true. Most of those who're in a postition to heavily invest in the arts are white, and since I make Rev. Jeremiah Wright look like Steppin Fetchit*, their subliminal belief in the supposed neccesity of white dominance alone will keep them from funding my work.

For the record, it'd have been one thing if Rev. Wright went off about how lizard men from Atlantis built a giant laser with the intent of knocking the moon out of orbit, but that obviously wasn't the case. In fact, NOTHING Wright said was wrong: YES, America "supported state terrorism against the Palestinians and black South Africans." YES, America "got more black men in prison than there are in college." These things are only "controversial" to someone whose sole concern is feeling comfortable; white suburbia needs to learn once and for all that just because something keeps you from being able to "save face" doesn't mean it's inaccurate.

Author Flannery O'Connor phrased it best: "The truth does not change according to our ability to stomach it."

Just as an activist engaged in a hunger strike will put his/her life at risk, I too am involved in something similar: When I won awards taking on the rich/powerful (the right-wing) via my column in The Las Vegas CityLife, I was happily killing two birds with one stone: Paying the bills BY making a difference. All too many, however, are content with working an evil day job so long as they can survive -- it doesn't matter to them what adverse effect their place of business has on the future (this inconsiderate attitude is culturally reinforced by songs like TLC's No Scrubs).

After my column was censored in Las Vegas, I had to move in with my mom, but now I finally found someplace where the rent is cheap enough for me to subsist (albeit barely) off of what I was meant for (radical storytelling*). Like Jimmy Stewart's character George Bailey from Frank Capra's It's a Wonderful Life, my spirituality is entirely hinged on how much of a difference I've made. In case the pen ain't mightier than the sword, I need to spend every waking moment doing my part; I can't save the world if I'm flipping burgers full time, and all one has to do is read today's Orwellian headlines to see that the world does need saving.

This commentary is entitled "Seattle Suicide Watch" for a reason. Either I'll be able to survive doing nothing other than what I was born to do or I'll die of starvation, period. Death before dishonor. This isn't arrogance, this is about justice. How dare anyone ask me to work a day job when I've proven myself time and time again? When Rush Limbaugh, Bill O'Reilly or Ann Coulter (to my knowledge, none of those fascists can draw and/or write fiction) start burger flipping, let me know.

... I REPEAT, THERE'S A STALKER ALERT IN EFFECT ...

Posted May 14th, 2008

Hey guys check out my new web site!

Check it out I think you'll like it!
http://www.webstarts.com/wikobiblia

Saab is advocating violence against me!

I love this one!

"the only reason I respond at all is I’m from the street and I don’t walk away from a fight."

You ain't from the streets you come directly off your mothers couch bitch! Another one of your bullshit lies.

Hey I take it seriously when someone threatens my life.

I have documented this and will let the local authorities know of your intentions.

I guess I should call Amnesty International on you since you obviously believe in taking someone's life!

Saab Lofton // Jun 23, 2008 at 7:49 pm
"Dr. Ellis, would you please fuck up the way the stalker's brain works with a piece of rebar? Thank you."

THE JOKES GETTING OLD!

God this has to be the funniest shit Saab has said in like a day or so! Saab was requesting over the internet to have someone drive him to Portland and this was his excuse for never having learned how to drive.

"I've never learned to drive a car (cartooning took that much of my time over the years)"

What cartooning would that be? Three zerox sheets stapled together called Dufus the Rat!
Dude when the story was first told it was funny but now the jokes grown stale. Please list all the comics you have drawn to date and let us know how we the people might purchase them? As far as driving a car goes I'm sure it was just a matter of choice so you would have another excuse not to be responsible for yourself!

Hey everyone I just opened my first blog ever!

Please check it out, I know all will like the format and design. Hoping to receive some great comments from all of you.

Thanks Shazzam

MR.HOLLYWOOD

Saab Lofton

"I have turned down a number of Hollywood producers who want to make a movie with my black superheroes as a comedy."

YEAH RIGHT, I'M FUCKING LAUGHING MY ASS OFF RIGHT NOW! You're a fucking tool!

Saab Lofton's racist statements of the white spoiled privileged

Lord knows how far those whites are willing to go to maintain today's status quo.

Let's face it, all too many whites view the 21st century as their last stand

If the Democrats would stop watering down their beliefs to appeal to all the dumb white guys out there, they'd win

I mean whites have to collectively overcome their economic masochism

The comfort of fat, spoiled and ignorant Americans

This means there will NEVER be a point in which whites will be let off the hook

It's been my experience that hippies are usually spoiled white kids rebelling against their uptight parents;

I wish I was bigger! Cindy Sheehan quit and yet she's an icon. I've been at this for over two decades and yet I'm still obscure! Goes to show white women are more powerful than black men

their subliminal belief in the supposed necessity of white dominance alone will keep them from funding my work.

and since the comfort level of a white American woman is sacrosanct

Ensuring that some spoiled yuppie will never know a moment of discomfort? Again, the exalting of white America's comfort level ...

White fear is profitable

there's still this "profitable" fear all too many whites have

Unfortunately, there's talk of casting some white guy as Captain Marvel
First, seeing as how white left-wingers are more statistically likely to be related to a Republican than any other demographic

Mainly because the white left is afraid for the lives of their ig-nant kinfolk:

white leftists are more concerned with the fate of their right-wing relatives

this is about something all too many whites have yet to deal with. This expectation for blacks to be eternally masochistic workaholics

And then white people -- 90 percent of the guns in this country are bought out in the white suburbs where you don't need them because there's virtually no crime

can be as difficult as explaining that a white woman can marry a black man without the world coming to an end

White liberals and New Age hippies who're related to people like O'Reilly claim I'm in danger of being consumed with anger; that if I don't "tone it down

FOX has had left-wingers (Alan Colmes don't count -- he makes Clark Kent seem macho

I guess it was just too much for white comic fans to have their white hero fall from grace and take responsibility for what he did

Most white people are uncomfortable with people of color gaining power

the concept of a superhero of color is an uneasy thought to most white Americans

Given the amount of resistance there's been to John Stewart taking Hal Jordan's place, is it any wonder why white supremacists have such a problem with their distant descendants looking like Halle Berry .?

The only reason the Religious Right demonizes the erasure of global borders is because whites are a minority worldwide

If any of the spoiled in the world are the least bit incredulous over why is it Chavez would want or even need more power in order to better help the poor,

I also would tell the spoiled to go slumming

blacks have to perform a task twice as well as whites just to get by

First World whites wallow in gratuitous cynicism like a pig in slop

I've always suspected that the reason why whites are so corny and will laugh at the most insipid shit is because their lives are so boring

WHO'S SO BORED AND SPOILED IN LIFE

what exactly gives white boys the right to talk this much trash?

Not all of us has white skin privilege,

How spoiled would one have to be to bother to point this out

What "arrogant, obnoxious attitude"?! You people ARE in fact spoiled!

When whites protest, it's to be hip and fashionable .

"Dan" sounds like yet another one of the spoiled

you've already proved yourself to be spoiled by viewing me in such a simplistic manner

That's petty and that's spoiled, period

not only does it let the rich/powerful off the hook big time, but it is SPOILED as a motherfucker

something the spoiled can't grasp because, well, they're spoiled

Again the difference between someone who's spoiled enough not to have to worry about the bills every month

who exactly am I offending? A bunch of spoiled whites who have the luxury to sit by a computer in the First World and be SOOO fucking concerned about my ego

Picking on a black man who's fighting for his very survival all because YOUR spoiled ass was bored!

whether or not I'm offending the spoiled and privileged. And pointing out how spoiled and privileged all too many whites are is factual, it's NOT encouraging bad blood-though I'm sure spoiled whites would love for folks to think it is

but would get a white boy's ass whupt if he said it

That goes for anyone else in this country of all countries who's white and pretty and at least lower middle class. GET OVER IT

For far too long, the poetry circuit has been dominated by spoiled white kids whining about insignificant things.

I tried to explain to the punks how their white-skin privilege got their black friend in trouble

One of my favorite examples of how blind whites can be to their societal privilege

And being white, the odds are you're more statistically likely to be friends with/related to some FOX News Republican than I am

thus wasting all the more time/energy which could be directed at the enemy as someone SPOILED would do

Only someone SPOILED by white privilege would find a future devoid of war and poverty to be "pansy

Only someone already spoiled and inconsiderate would consider making the world a better place

existence of white privilege/dominance

Sheehan quit! She's not taking a break, she's quitting! How dare Sheehan quit with all the privilege she has to spare?
Sheehan's claim to fame is that her son was a SOLDIER in IRAQ-and since most of the left are whites with right-wing relatives, Casey's military record was used to appeal to said relatives (instead of simply telling said relatives how wrong they were

but that still doesn't change the fact that she's famous solely because white leftists figured her son's military background would impress their right-wing relatives

DICTATOR ALERT

That's exactly right you are a scared ass pathetic hypocrite!

I have to be anonymous because of communists like you. If you were ever to get into power you would surely seek retribution!

As for protecting your website ( another one of your many lies) I haven't ever touched it. The only thing I have done is comment on your excuse ridden article on why you can't work because of the "SPOILED WHITE PRIVILEGED"

"it is understandable that (for once) I took the same stance that Castro does".

"I don't approve of the censoring of dissidents in Cuba, but I understand it: There's a historically legitimate fear that a counter-revolution will take Cuba's free, universal health care away".

That's right Saab believes free health care is more important then actually being free.

But don't believe me here's the link, read it for yourself
1. http://coanews.org/article/2008/a-tale-of-two-savages

Because you are a Totalitarionist masking yourself as an anarchist activist. I'm certain without a shadow of a doubt that if you ever had any real power you would certainly take revenge on those who disagree with your warped sense of reality!.

And what do I do with my free speech? I try to expose those that pose a dangerous prospect for the freedom we all would protect from a would be dictator such as Saab Lofton-I do not want Saab Lofton to die I would like to see him evicted from subsisted housing as he refuses to work for a living. Your life is not at stake and I've every right to expose you as the fraud you are..

"There's NOTHING "unverifiable" about the sales of my work."

Sure that's why most of what you had posted on Wikipedia has been removed because it's unverifiable.

This is what his Wikipedia page first looked like before I started challenging the facts!
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Saab_Lofton&oldid=216645023

This is what it looks like now without all his unverifiable bullshit in it.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saab_Lofton

and most likely it will be deleted because He isn't really notable at all.

[I HAVE BEEN AND WILL REMAIN VANDALIZING YOUR WIKIPEDIA PAGE UNTIL THEY TAKE THAT UNDESERVED PEACE OF SHIT OFF THEIR SITE]

You are not notable and therefore do not deserve the right to stand among professionals that actually know what it means to be a novelist!

As for
Battle Neverending,
October of 1998, was 500 copies
April of 2005, was 1,000 copies
December of 2005, was 2,000

= 3500 copies which you claimed sold in one year, I don't think so (see this goes to your lying about how you sell everything in record time).

"I sold all three thousand copies of Btl Nvrg within the span of a year."

Your statement not mine. This is what you call a lie used to prove your book is so great it that it must of broken someone's imaginary sales record.

here's the link
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Phoebe#Concerning_the_vandalism_of_Saab_Lofton27s_page_.28and_the_sources_as_well.29

"NOW, the rain (it rains a LOT in Seattle) kept me from selling copies every-single-day. So if one were to take each day I DID work - and consecutively add all those days together statistically speaking, I sold an average of a few copies per day or 3,000 per year!"

I like his fuzzy math!

Now on to the next doozy!

"However, his claim to fame is the novel he wrote while still in the dorms at San Francisco State University, A.D., which was so radical a book it got him kicked out of college in 1997."

See this statement in and of itself is so disingenuous. Trying to make himself appear as ubber radical and that every one is trying to squelch his speech.

Here's the real story:

"Lofton wrote "A.D." while a student at San Francisco State University and spent so much time hawking the book A.D. when it was published three years ago that his grades began to fall and the university cut off his financial aid."
He dropped out a few credits shy of getting his film degree and moved in with his mother in Bremerton".

But don't believe me here's the link, read it for yourself
http://community.seattletimes.nwsource.com/archive/?date=19981101&slug=2781130

And yes I have heard his ridiculous excuse ...

"too radical means I "spent so much time hawking the book" because I had to overcompensate for all the (CORPORATE censorship surrounding the book. ) Had I an easier time "hawking" the book, there'd have been more time for grades. Of course, plenty of wayward students have had their financial aid renewed after having missed classes for far less substantial reasons, so one wonders why was it so important for me to be dismissed ."

Because you were flunking out fool!

What Corporate Censorship? Any corporation would think you're a fucking nutcase! And excuse me idiot but lots of people miss classes and still keep their grades up. It's called juggling your work!

And here's another great one.
"I took a chance on A.D.

I had 2000 copies printed. A.D. sold remarkably well, quickly becoming my 2nd best-selling title. It sold about (1000 copies the first year)"

So if it sold only 1000 books the first year that averages 2.7 books per day for one year. Goddamn that must have been hard selling 2.7 books a day and juggling college at the same time.

That must be hard being homeless on your mothers couch!

Another one of his many claims of being homeless.

Here's another example:
"Since then, I've been sleeping on a couch in my mother's living room at the ripe old age of 37--this is a crime"

But don't believe me here's the link, read it for yourself
http://www.associatedcontent.com/user/34398/saab_lofton.html?contact=true&sent=true

"but what really hurts is when the working class looks at me as if I'm some kind of snob for not wanting to ruin the hands I draw/type with doing some form of manual labor everyday"

This is especially rich since he wrote this while refusing a day job and had been sleeping on his (remember he is homeless) mothers couch for three years.

But don't believe me here's the link, read it for yourself
http://coanews.org/article/2007/dream-jobs-or-death

"His politics were also shaped by a year he spent living on the streets."

Another one of his homeless lies!

But don't believe me here's the link, read it for yourself
http://community.seattletimes.nwsource.com/archive/?date=19981101&slug=2781130

A stalker and a liar!

You go ahead and call the cops, STALKER! An investigation will reveal the psychotic, obsessive extent to which you've taken shit out of context ..!

http://www.zenarchery.com/2007/12/30/god-im-dumb/

Joshua Ellis // May 24, 2008 at 7:38 pm
Well, one comment. But the point is taken. Guy who’s calling yourself Matt Hafner: you wanna bash Saab, do it on your own time, in some other place. Not here. I have your IP address. Saab may not know how to track you from that, but I do. Bother me again on my site and I’ll come to where you live and fuck up the way your brain works with a piece of rebar. Transmission ends.

... I was jokingly paraphrasing what Dr. Ellis said when you got on HIS nerves! Are you going to press charges against him too?

As for this line, "the only reason I respond at all is I’m from the street and I don’t walk away from a fight," that means just that -- a FIGHT. Boxers and wrestlers FIGHT all the time. Democrats and Republicans FIGHT all the time (even though they're more alike than not).

But you call the cops and maybe then your true identity will finally be revealed ...

Saab is advocating violence against me!

I love this one!

"the only reason I respond at all is I’m from the street and I don’t walk away from a fight."

You ain't from the streets you come directly off your mothers couch bitch! Another one of your bullshit lies.

Hey I take it seriously when someone threatens my life.

He dropped out a few credits shy of getting his film degree and moved in with his mother in Bremerton".

And yes I have heard his ridiculous excuse ...

"too radical means I "spent so much time hawking the book" because I had to overcompensate for all the (CORPORATE censorship surrounding the book. ) Had I an easier time "hawking" the book, there'd have been more time for grades. Of course, plenty of wayward students have had their financial aid renewed after having missed classes for far less substantial reasons, so one wonders why was it so important for me to be dismissed ."

Because you were flunking out fool!

What Corporate Censorship? Any corporation would think you're a fucking nutcase! And excuse me idiot but lots of people miss classes and still keep their grades up. It's called juggling your work!

And here's another great one.
"I took a chance on A.D.

I had 2000 copies printed. A.D. sold remarkably well, quickly becoming my 2nd best-selling title. It sold about (1000 copies the first year)"

So if it sold only 1000 books the first year that averages 2.7 books per day for one year. Goddamn that must have been hard selling 2.7 books a day and juggling college at the same time.

That must be hard being homeless on your mothers couch!

Another one of his many claims of being homeless.

Here's another example:
"Since then, I've been sleeping on a couch in my mother's living room at the ripe old age of 37--this is a crime"

"but what really hurts is when the working class looks at me as if I'm some kind of snob for not wanting to ruin the hands I draw/type with doing some form of manual labor everyday"

This is especially rich since he wrote this while refusing a day job and had been sleeping on his (remember he is homeless) mothers couch for three years.

"His politics were also shaped by a year he spent living on the streets."

Another one of his homeless lies!

STALKER ALERT

http://www.saablofton.org/announcement.html

Among other things, the STALKER (see the aforementioned link) is desperately reaching for any excuse to call me a fraud (so I'll eventually be forced out of writing and into working a day job -- clearly, misery loves company) and has latched, for instance, onto how I've said my first novel got me kicked out of San Francisco State for being too radical ...

http://community.seattletimes.nwsource.com/archive/?date=19981101&slug=2781130

Lofton wrote "A.D." while a student at San Francisco State University and spent so much time hawking the book when it was published three years ago that his grades began to fall and the university cut off his financial aid.

... too radical means I "spent so much time hawking the book" because I had to overcompensate for all the censorship surrounding it (something I tried to explain to the Seattle Times' Tomish Jerry Large to no avail). CORPORATE censorship, NOT the stereotypical Stalinistic kind all too many assume is the only kind that exists. Had I an easier time "hawking" the book, there'd have been more time for grades. Of course, plenty of wayward students have had their financial aid renewed after having missed classes for far less substantial reasons, so one wonders why was it so important for me to be dismissed ..?

The STALKER: “He stated in this post to Wikipedia [THAT BEGS THE QUESTION, WHY WAS THE STALKER FUCKING WITH WIKIPEDIA? HOW LEGIT IS THAT?!] that his book Battle Neverending’s 3 thousand copies sold out in one year which is a total lie. He printed them in 1998 and was still selling them as recent as 2006.”

WRONG!
a) The first printing of Battle Neverending, in October of 1998, was 500 copies — they all sold by late 1999.
b) From 1999 to 2005, NOTHING.
c) The second printing of Battle Neverending, in April of 2005, was 1,000 copies — those all sold by late 2005.
d) The third printing of Battle Neverending, in December of 2005, was 2,000 copies — those all sold by late 2007/early 2008.

Note how the STALKER CONviently omitted that, from 1999 to 2005, there wereN’T any copies of Battle Neverending. This is what’s meant by THE WHOLE STORY; THE REST OF THE STORY.

Now, the rain (it rains a LOT in Seattle) kept me from selling copies every-single-day. So if one were to take each day I DID work — and consecutively add all those days together — one would find that both the second and third printings of Battle Neverending sold within the span of a single, calendar year ...

* * * * * * *

... then again, the STALKER is far too irrational to grasp such complexities (to admit how well I'm doing would mean the STALKER'S case would collapse like a house of cards), as the following demonstrates ...

A.D. Sales
From: William P. Meyers (bill@iiipublishing.com)
Sent: Mon 6/16/08 11:13 PM

When I had been running III Publishing, a small press, for a few years a remarkable manuscript was sent to me. It was titled A.D. and was submitted by Saab Lofton. The writing was strong, the plot was interesting, and conceptually it was brilliant. I was struggling to sell my titles at the time, this was when Barnes & Noble and Borders were wiping out many of the independent bookstores that sold my books, but I took a chance on A.D.
I had 2000 copies printed. A.D. sold remarkably well, quickly becoming my 2nd best-selling title. It sold about 1000 copies the first year and in the next few years all the copies were sold. There was continuing demand for the book, but around then my distributor went bankrupt and I decided to stop publishing. A.D. should have been reprinted. More than that, it should have been picked up by a larger publisher with stronger sales channels.
A.D. was Saab Lofton's first novel. I read the manuscript of his second novel, and it too should have been published by a major publisher. Saab Lofton's voice deserves to be heard. What he says may not please everyone, but that is always the case with great writers.

Battle Neverending and Revolutionary Storytelling
From: david natko (dnatko@hotmail.com)

Hey Saab, I don’t know if you remember me at all but I’m *****’s friend that you met at the Teach-In. I finally got around to reading your book, Battle Neverending, and I have to say that I was quite impressed. Not impressed in the sense that I didn’t expect it to be good, but rather in the sense that it exceeded my already high expectations. I found the writing style to be witty and intelligent but at the same time fluid and very easy to read. Once I started, I couldn’t put it down. I think your style of radical science fiction is highly relevant and an interesting and effective way to disseminate revolutionary ideas … Of the different segments, I would have to say the last one, Battle Neverending is my favorite. I think Tomorrowman is a great superhero. It’s too bad he doesn’t really exist, the Left could certainly use him … The real shame then, is that more people don’t know about him. I also read your proposal for the North Star television series. I have to say, although I don’t watch TV, I would probably watch that … ***** told me about the stalker situation and I’d like to express my sympathy. It’s too bad that twisted motherfuckers like that find the need to take out their personal frustration on others. Nonetheless, he (or she) is exactly that, a twisted motherfucker, and maybe this is wide-eyed naivete, but I believe that in the end good triumphs over evil … I for one, can’t wait to read more of your material. Is it at all possible that I could find a copy of A.D. somewhere? I’d love to read the novel that caused such a stir … Anyways, hang in there. Like I said, I can’t wait to read more material. I must say, I think I am officially a Saab Lofton Fan.
Live long and prosper, David
