There are thousands of editorials about Susan Boyle. Each one tries to come to a conclusion about her and the effect she has had. They all the miss the point however. Susan is not a singer, she is a rebel and of course, rebels have long gone from our world. They are outlawed and called all sorts of horrible things. The "T-word" comes to mind which cannot be said here in order to avoid misappropriated hits.

We see from Boyle's antics that she can't be tamed, or that it's going to be a hard task for the status quo to do so. She is "too" all those things that have kept her from being shaped toward modern compliance and product adoption. She is like an animal whose instincts are her own. This is her appeal and the je ne sais quoi that her singing reflects.

This site specifically celebrates Susan's rebellious spirit and sends out the fervent hope that she retains it, or hangs on for as long as possible. So far she's doing okay. The trick of course is to avoid medical intervention. She must simply refuse to take pills which would annul her spirit. The medical industry is an engine for spirit-killing. By its very nature, modern medicine sets out to remove all connection between health, spirit and soul. Its dispensaries are filled with chemicals that interfere with inspiration and personality and run by people who genetically do not possess souls. The medical industry is a means to create a certain type of world: one which is earthbound and earth-devoted.

This site will monitor Susan's victories against the medical intervention which will have her turn into someone compliant and exploitable. If it turns out that she too, will succumb to the plough of public interest because she is shaking things up too much, this site will explain it.

So far so good. She managed to get out of the Priory relatively unscathed and she is still unmistakeably autonomous on stage. She still has her original face, body and mannerisms. She still inserts her spirit into her singing.

Her original "I dreamed a dream" will remain the standard. As soon as the timbre of this scarce muse disappears so will the rebellion say its goodbyes. The story and lesson called Susan Boyle lies in her longevity as a rebel. Her voice is merely the gauge by which we will be able to see her disabled. Let's do all we can to stop this from happening.

This site exists only to appeal to other rebels to fortify spiritually this poor publicly snared one. There are no blogs here because rebels don't do that sort of thing. We go on "fan" sites and politely point out that fans increase cremation, and to please stop. Susan's main value lies in her individuality and her fight to remain herself. Fansites excuse her eccentricities or deny them, trying to normalize an exception. This site offers a kindred spirit, and begs for more fight and defiance from Susan.

We are compiling a retrospective on Susan's "15 minutes" of rebellion. She will be stopped in all likelihood but her journey is the subject of this site. In the meantime, savour the reaction. It is the greatest psychological snapshot of our age we have seen in a long time. She is a comet's tail.

The Signs of a Rebel:

-- Clarity of mind -- Superior verbal skills -- Unique personality -- Courage to display the above -- A particular skill -- Openly declaring one's rights -- Ability to feel and demonstrate outrage at despicable acts committed by the status quo -- Unimpeded impulses for good (this is called mental illness by the status quo) -- Constant brushes with the law and the medical profession -- Hospitalizations for outbursts of honour and principle -- ...
