In 2008 I lived in Venice and tried to understand the world's relation to me and I had understood that many things going on in the public space seemed to be related to my life and work in a way which was hard to understand - the evidence could suggest that the phenomenon had a rooting in reality. I believed that many published works related to my life and work but in ways that did not credit my life or work as source. As I have later understood, the reason for this could have been an association of me with the role of Biagio Marin relative to Rilke 1912 - and if it be the case that Kennedy's presidency related to me in the sense of that Marin role, it was fully possible that the western postwar world tried to build the whole world up around that fundamental misunderstanding of what the registration was about - and therefore tried to turn roles around.

My Bjarne name could be partly that Biagio, partly the Bambini artwork of the carmelite church just east of the railway station in Venice. Bambini = norw. 'barna' = hungarian for 'brown' - and hence Kennedy could have had a sort of follower in Obama at least in that sense of it. The problem I faced was that many works in the public space could have made use of aspects of my life and work fished out from the archives of secret intelligence - but if the same secret intelligences told them that it was not permitted to mention my name, it meant that they could not credit the source properly. The problem would be that if aspects of my life and work were used in published works without crediting me as the source, the effect of this would be the same as agents working as swindlers for altering the course of development of the history. Although this would not look like secret agency for the society, the effect on my life and work for me personally would resemble something like that nevertheless. I had seen some films of Bergman which I believed could have used archive material related to (plans on) my life ('The vipers egg'?) - of course that did not mean that he was an agent but it could mean that my person was not mentioned even if it should have been mentioned - and that is the political phenomenon which deserves attention and mention for the world to develop a healthy society. (Bergman had stopped making film but I think it was after my mention of this apparent phenomenon that he made his last film 'Sarabande'). The problem would become acute and very critical in the moment when it started to happen that handwritten manuscripts of mine were copied by secret surveillance for use as basis for plagiarisms in largescaled production such as film or success books. I undertook a brief study of some books of trivial genre in the 'Libro' book chain in Vienna and found that many of them seemed to follow a scheme related to my own Dreamer novel from 1995. This brief study of mine (I leafed in many of those books) was not conclusive but I felt that the question of outright organized plagiarisms was relevant. I recall that I found it a relevant question also for a study of Dan Brown's thrillers - and the thriller genre in general - and although I take it for granted that much of these structural similarities could be due to general semiotic-narrative phenomena and hence many or most or all of these books could be totally unrelated to mine, it was nevertheless an interesting question. And then of course I should be allowed a sigh when thinking of my own chances for publication. And of course the world should have organized a group of lawyers for pressing the credits out of those who abused material.

In 2008 I spoke with a person in a street (Calle Pedrocchi it could have been) in Venice and expressed my views on this problem and added that even Umberto Eco could be in this group of published people - which would mean that he could have used archive material from my life and work without crediting my name. The historic background was that I had got his 'Name of the rose' from Ragna Gröver (I think christmas in the early 80's) and then of course he would have to look suspicious from my point of view. I have later seen that the first publication of this book on Bompiani had the same number of pages as the report of the Warren Committee after the Kennedy assassination - things like that which could have included aspects of my life. The famous bomb in the waiting room at the bus station in Bologna exploded some hundred metres from Eco's office just before or at the time of the publication of his book on Bompiani - and I have later seen links to my life (for example, I had been library assistant up to about the time of the publication - 'på lån, ja' = 'on loan, yes/mhm'). I hope there are no plans of making a bus stop outside my house in Szolnok - if there should be, then I could have to wait inside untill the bus has left for going out - and then the question is whether Gogol's 'Ivan Fjodorovitch Shponka' is the background of the name of Kennedy himself. (Aunt Mary was a famous rock group from 1970 in Fredrikstad - lead guitarist was the brother-in-law to my friend from the school class in those days).

It was this background which made me speculate that Eco could have used aspects of my life or work in his own works. That of course could have been well intended - but the problem is the 'mention' of the 'peer'. I wrote the title to my book 'POLAKK English Bloggi' in early 2010 and the top administration of Poland reportedly crashed on the airport of Smolensk few weeks later - and I think Eco published his 'Cimitero di Praga' also some time later. Of course I do not suspect that he wrote this book in a few weeks and hurried to the publisher before mine was completed (such as a plagiarizing agent could do), and the title is probably essential to the work - but I had to speculate what could be the reason. It may have been later (if not even before) that Eco published a book along with Jean Claude Carriere.

If I said about Eco or Bergman or any other serious culture worker who is not an agent that it was an agent, I do apologize for the utterance - for which I could not have had facts as basis for it. However, I doubt that I really said so, since I could not have had any such knowledge and therefore to make such claims would have been just nonsense - but of course I could have made references to the complex in question with ideas that even Eco could have been an agent as seen from my viewpoint. (I do certainly not believe that Eco - or Bergman - was an agent).

The example of Eco is perhaps a little special since his name relates to the norwegian form of apologizing = 'ber om forlatelse' ('asks for for-give-ness') --> 'um-ber [late-forse] to eco' which could suggest by 'late-forse' that one releases some 'force' which is heard in the 'eco' - which could suggest a release of a bullet from a gun - no pardon, that could mean. This is perhaps interesting also on the background of the bomb in Bologna.

I have speculated that the house in Sziget Utca in Szolnok could have been a background of Hitler's 'Aktion Reinhard' - the three death camps Sobibor, Treblinka and Belcez which claimed a large part of the 6 million jews in the holocaust. After I found the piece of probably 'ex nihilo' gold, if this piece of ex nihilo gold is as standard as e.g. the lapis philosophorum seems to be, then one can make speculations also on the figures seen on it - and then I notice what could be Santa's rein-deer in leaping action - Aktion Rein-hart - along with the 'backwards' accountancy in the upper right and the shadows in the lower part. Is it Paganini with enthusiastic audience or is it some release of force on short range in the black shadows? Some sort of 'Kennedy assassination'?

What is the deering leap of the reinhart? It is not impossible that the expeditions to moon is something that the world was invited to believe in - when 'a small step (not steep!) for a man was a giant leap (not lip!) for mankind'. That leap/lip was daring indeed - but they made it!

Clearly these are relevant matters when taking up a new Bo-loan-ias - and there the gold is - even if the accountancy (1-2-3-4) could look a little backwards.

If can be added as a possible hitherto completely un-understood element that the Madonna revelations of Fatima in 1917 could have been about precisely the complex of the political interpretation of the Marin-Rilke connection as a terrible misunderstanding that drove the world into two world wars - and which is solved only with my 'POLAKK English Bloggi' of 2010. That clearly is another aspect of a mighty popular appeal - for very good reasons indeed.



I wrote my poetry book 'Stillhetens åndedrag' in 2016 from 11 january to appr. 20-23 september - that is, a total of appr. 256 days. Umberto Eco died on 19 february 2016. See also 'The vava story '.
