Trevor Blake: Ace Hayes [LINK-ZUM]

I met Ace Hayes very, very briefly in the mid 1990s at one of his Secret Government Seminars at the Clinton Street Cinema. If we said more than a hello that conversation has been lost forever. But the SGS was memorable. Ace sat at a large folding table stacked at least one foot high with print outs, photocopies, manuscripts, notes and three-ring binders. In all this paperwork was his evidence for a conspiracy that controlled the world. Ace tended to remain in the realm of the unpleasant but credible, such as wealthy families controlling large industries which controlled corrupt governments which controlled the likes of you and I. His audience, however, included believers in hidden tunnels beneath local mental hospitals where ritual abuse and mind control experiments were taking place. Ace spoke first and at length, but was accommodating to audience members who wanted to speak about these more exotic topics afterwards. I admired his pro-mutant tendencies. Ace published the Portland Free Press newspaper and had a cable access television program. He died in 1998. His jaw-dropping collection of books has been scattered to the winds, but I know a secret underground bunker where some of his holdings are hidden away until the time is right. What I treasure the most from Ace is the following quote: "If you want to hide the truth, put it in a book."
