Hello Steemit Community! -My name is Law Johnston.

Let's see... how does one categorize themselves... Well, I suppose I am best known for my role as a core member and videographer for WeAreChangeColorado @Wearechange-co back in the early days. Many years of amazing work and dangerous adventure. Glad to see they are present here in the Steemit community.

For the sake of introduction I proclaim to be an artist/musician truth seeker with a strong geo-philosophical leaning towards pro-activism. (pretty common these days lol) As a professional I have worked primarily as a 3-D modeler and animatior in the videogame industry, did a short stint in television, and have been engaged for several years shooting and editing video for various projects.

Li'l sample of art work so you can get my flava.

I love the Steemit concept, -and I am of course, definitely involved with crypto-currency. I've been familiarizing myself with the layout, touring the posts, getting a feel for what's happening here. Looks like humanity! Amidst the expected standard social fare, occasional fake comments and bots, I have in fact found much deeper veins of expansive, conscious literary rapport. There is a tangible feeling in this community of discovery and fascination. The sense of potential that you get when you're riding right on the edge of the collective mind. Something is happening here. I am actually feeling an eagerness that I haven't felt in quite a while. I want to contribute.

Many years as a front-line activist has given me a broad spectrum of experiences, and I've done a fair bit of work as an investigative journalist. My last real investigative work was the wrongful conviction of Benjamin David Gilmore, convicted and sent to prison for the burning of a four-story building during the Occupy Wall Street protests. I investigated his case for over two years and created the documentary "The Axiom of Evidence" (youtube) to tell his story. It's a unique and meaningful film, that in my opinion, sheds very strong light on Ben Gilmore's innocence and the real possibility of a set-up. I intend to share some of my research findings here and solicit opinions regarding some of the evidence. Ben has been in prison for four years, I'm still doing what I can to help him.

So... Who is this guy writing this stuff? Well, my basic life experience could be summed as the spiritual and philosophical journey of a 6'8" Native/Viking intellectual adventurer still recovering from the joys of tragic middle American childhood programming, trying to retain mental cohesion and a strong spirit through every rabbit hole in this hyper-accelerated super-tech material mind control fantasy consuming the planet like a living Borg.

-ahem-... Pardon me.

Y'know, sometimes I look around and find it difficult to accept that this is actual reality. The last 30 years seems like a ludicrous dream the mind can barely comprehend, and it just keeps getting nuttier. Yet I find, strangely, that I love it tremendously. Man this life is rich. No mistake about it, times like these will test our deepest, truest selves and there is much we have to endure. The moment-by-moment endurance is what gives us strength, the choice to endure creates our true character. That's why we must work hard to love every visceral, grisly minute of this life. We are here to imagine it better. This stuff is important. Life on Earth is important. Being here now at this time is definitely the best show in the galaxy. It's not easy loving every minute, but very, very good things happen when we do.

Keep feeling fascination. Fascination leads to the realization of beauty.

I hope my personal experience, skills and research can contribute something meaningful to the Steemit community, I feel really good about what's going on here. Personal interests and expertise range from indigenous medicines and ceremony, world spiritual philosophies, mystic healing, media production and pro-activism, artistry and music creation, language and literature, psychological programming as social engineering, on into the deeper research and investigations that compose and underlay the one truly GREAT QUESTION OF LIFE...

What the hell is going on here?!

I look forward to this. There's much to explore and debate. Peace and Love Steemit.

Special shout-out to @cynthiamckinney for being who you are! Your bold, beautiful, intelligently directed questions to Rumsfeld and his military brass is an admirable and legendary act worthy of chronicle within the annals of Greater History. You are Courage and Grace exemplified.
