Also Google: "powershaus.2019/PubHTML5" to peruse my $13 million 1999 TICG Flip-book.***After a series of serendipitous "Encounters" an "Happenings" in December of '93, my Black Mountain/OPEN EYES Consortium was born in a stable (garage) in Charlotte, NC, it actually could be described as an alignment of planets ("Christmas Star"). The Black Mountain Consortium can truly claim the distinction of being the "first" viable distance learning platform in the U.S. It was an amazing consortium of artists, educators and technologists all coming together to make the North Carolina Information Highway a reality. Our consortium members worked pro-bono an all our Z. Smith Reynolds Foundation grant funding ($100,000) was directed towards developing the OPEN EYES Education Technology platform and its InterChange Server System. Then in the Winter of '97 our "Constellation" (Consortium) hit a Black Hole, when the Clinton Administration and the Chicago Outfit/Jewish Mafia wanted to smuggle our InterChange Servers into China (It is now Huawei). Out of this Black Hole came the Globalists. This treasonous act became known as "Chinagate". My father was a career Marine and it was not in my DNA to betray my Country, so I tried to stop them through Sen. Jesse Helms (NC) and the Jewish Mafia destroyed my career. I have lived in their doghouse ever since, but that has not stopped me from evolving both personally and professionally. In that time, I received my MFA, continued to work in Arts Education and created the American Civics Project with Obey Giant artist Shepard Fairey (OPEN EYES: The Source). Recruiters have often asked me about this career "Gap" and I couldn't answer without using the "J" word, so I am afraid it has cast a pall over my CV, just like my father when he broke the anti-Semitic Covenant in La Jolla in 1964. After the COVID pandemic when all the California schools had to teach exclusively online (train-wreck), I believe OPEN EYES is even more viable as we venture deeper into the 21st Century AI abyss. I have turned OPEN EYES into a drop-in-place solution, It is ready to go!
