But
YEEEEEHAW, let the sons of God and man bear
witness! Even in the belly of the Thunderbird I’ve been
casting out the False Prophets; I’m busting a gut and
blowing my O-ring, and ripe to throw a /oaf! For |
speak only the fucking Truth, and never in my days
have I spoke other than! For my every utterance is a lie,
including this very one you hear!
I say, ‘Fuck ’em if
they can't take a joke!’
By God, ‘Anything for a
laugh,’ I say. 1 am the last remaining Homo Correctus,
I am the god damn Man of the Future! I'll drive a mile
sO as not to walk a foot; [am a human being of the /firsr

that jumped the Men from Mars!
I drank the Devil
under seven tables, I am too infense to die, I’m insured
for acts o’ God and Satan! I was shanghaied by bodiless
fiends and alien jews from a corporate galaxy, and got
away with their hubcaps! I cannor be tracked on radar!
Iwear nothing uniform, I wear no god damn uniform!
Yes baby, I’m 23 feet tall and have 13 rows o’ teats; I
was suckled by a triceratops, I gave the Anti-Virgin a
high-protein tonsil wash! I’m a bacteriological weapon,
I’m armed and loaded! I’m.a
fission reactor, I fart
plutonium, power plants are fueled by the sweat from
my brow; when they plug me in, the lights go out in
Hong Kong! I weigh 666 pounds in zero gravity, come
and get me! I've sired retarded space bastards across
the Cosmos, I cook and eaf my dead; YAH-HOOOO, °
I’m the Unshaven Thorn Tree of the Atlantis Zoo!
I
pay no taxes!
The Devil’s hands are my ideal
playground!
I hold the Seven-Bladed Windbreaker; the
wheels that turn are behind me; I think backwards! .1 do .

pork it before it porks me! They say a godzillion is the
highest number there is. Well, by God! I count toa
godzillion and one! Yes, I’m the purple flower of Hell
County, give me wide berth; when I drop my drawers,
Mother Nature swoons! I use a python for a prophylac-
tic; I’m thicker, harder, and meaner than the Alaskan
Pipeline, and carry more spew! I'll freeze your seed
before it hits the bathroom tile! YEE! YEEE! I kidnapped the future and ransomed it for the past, I made
Time wait up for me to bleed my lizard! My infernal
breath wilts the Tree of Life, I left my spoor on the
Rock of Ages, who'll tear flesh with me, who'll spill
their juice? Who’ll gouge with me, whose candle will I
fart out? Whoop! I’m ready!
butt-lipped, neurotic, insecure
So step aside, all you
bespectacled slabs o’

I’m a Crime Fighting Master Criminal, I
am Not Insane! I’m a screamer and a laugher, I makea
spectacle of myself, 1am a sight! My physical type cannot be classified by science, my ‘familiar’ is a pterodactyl, I feed it dipshits! I communicate without wires or
strings! 1 am a Thuggee, I am feared in the Tongs, I
have the Evil Eye, I carry the Mojo Bag; I swam the
Bermuda Triangle and didn’t get wet!
I circumcise
dinosaurs with my teeth and make 'em leave a tip; I
change tires with my fongue and my fool! Every night I
hock up a lunger and extinguish the Sun/ I’m the big-
footed devil of Level 14, who'll come shoe me? Where's
the robot giant who'll try to blow me down? I've packed the brownies of the gods, I leak the Plague from my
nether parts, opiates are the mass of my religion, J take
drugs! Yes, I'm a rip-snorter, I cram coca leaves right
into my arm-veins before they/re picked off the sree!
Space monsters, cringe at my tread! I wipe the Pyramids
off my shoes before I enter my house. I’m fuel-injected,
I'll live forever and remember it afterwards!

People were already rebelling
egeinst being kept apart by mass
culture/commodities/consumer
society.
In the
60's
thousands
of young americans had cuestioned
their roles in middle morality
America
and
dropped
out
into
annoymous tenements of the Haight
in San Francisco.
In I965 in the
Watts suburb of Los Angeles thous-
ands
of Black
kids
burnt
down
their
homes, schools and factories.
To Debord these unconscious
revolts aseinst the Spectacle were
evidence
of the Spectacle's vulnerability.
It was'nt invincible,
as Orwell appeared to have said,
but before it could be overcome,
it's safety net ‘Recuperation' had
to be de2lt with. To survive the
Spectacle has to have strict social
control, as Orwell had pointed out
and is infact obvious for all to
A

see. This is retained by Bourgeois
Society's ability to ‘recuperate’
2 situation, or resisting an
attack by changing chemeleonlike;
creating new roles, cultural forms
and by ‘encoureging participation
in the construction of the World
of your own Alienation.'*
For exemple
‘alternative life
styles’ can be turned into commod—
ities. The Haight-Ashbury hippies
were eventually packaged as of
course were the London Punk Rockers
2 decade later. A'Punk' in a copy
‘Destroy’ T-shirt in 'Cuincy' —the ultimate recuperation? So with
a
lifestyle
safely
recuperated,
after a certain amount of time it
can be dusted off and sold back to
the
people,
inducing a yearning
desire. To achieve this the tactics
of subversion heve to be extended
from schools, factories, universities,
to confront the Spectacle directly.
Repid Transport systems, shopping
centres, museums, as well as the
various new forms of culture and the
Media, must be considered as targets,
areas for scandalous activity."
So, by ‘approprieting' a bit of
Marxist theory, a bit of anarchist
practise, some ideas of modern socio-—
logy
and
by refusing
absolutely

with
hierarchies
of any sort
itional

demanded the total transformation of
the World, just as the forces of
capitalism and communism seemed
locked on certain collision course.
Situationism owes more of a debt
to Dadaism/Surrealism, with even
2 bit of Futurism chucked in,
than
Marxism.

In 1966, with 'The Society of
the

and
'The
Revolution
of Everyday Life' behind them, the
Situationists were ready to become
a social force. They started
to
look around for opportunities to
‘intervene' in existing radical
situations,
in order to speed up
the collapse of the spectacular

They had the actions but not the
theory but they were not the least
afraid of ruin. If they feiled it was
just a metter of time before another
situation developed in another place
in enother way and so on.
At Nanterre, the threat of the
22nd March Movement and what the Dean
described as ‘a real War psychosis",
led to the University being closed
down and Cohn-Bendit and some others
being summoned before a disciplinary
tribunal. On May 3rd hundreds of left
wing students gathered at the Sorbonne,
the originally overcrowded university
in
Paris,
to
protest.
The
Rector
of
the University became worried,

elly when he heard that a group of
right-wing students were gathering
in the streets nearby. He rang the
Minister of Education and together

jeering and shouting broke out
from the essembled crowd. Someone
threw a stone thru' the windscreen
of the truck end hit a pig, the
students surged forward and tried
to liberate their comrades (Woops
friends) from the meat wegons.
Tear gas was fired. The violence
escalated with the police beating
innocent by-standers and students
alike and the students themselves
Sterting fires on the street and
tearing up vaving stones, iron
sratings, traffic signs, anything
that could be hurled at the police.
The Rioting spread throughout
the Latin Cuarter and at the end

day PTV is our occupation.
Like you
say, it's true, to mention when
there are death threats, that it's
not just a hobby. You have to look
at it and realise that it could
have been a whole lot worse.
VAGUE: I look at it as a good
advert, to get people interested
in PTV or whatever and it worked.
GEN: I dont think Bella the Snake
is irrelevant in herself. Because
the reason we have a snake rather
than another cat is because of the
way we think and believe and the
imagery that we choose to use. A
snake to us is magickal and has
lots of symbolism,
apart from it
being exotic and we think that life
can be a lot less banal than people
have normally.
It's also like in the Garden of
Eden, the Snake is the tempter and
is suvposedly the person with
knowledge, that gives knowledge,
although they're always cast as
being the baddie by christians, in
reality what they're doing is giving
wisdom and knowledge and sexuality.
So for us that's a positive thing
as well, and we actually use Bella
as a symbol of our philosophy. So I
mean
it's
perfectly
reasonable
for
the snake to be present, but I
suspect that the main reason they
chose to have the snake there was
because it looked visually interest—
ing or it was novel.

the MIE is allowed to call itself

the whole thet it mekes is filled

PAUL: From the LISIDE, not from the
outside. That's whet bugs me about
this eo ceene sty thing in NI. Where
he said we're encoureging voyeurism.
Voyeurism would'nt exist if there
was'nt a need for it end voyeurism
comes from within.
It's the need to
watch something. We're just showing
people that they can enjoy this sor’
of thing. We're not saying it's a
good thing thet they do.
GEN: I dont think it even comes
down to enjoying it. I actually
think that when we present it, we
leave it very very objective. And
we are doing RESEARCH and in re—
search you have to experiment and
you carry on the experiment for
a while end then you do it diff-—
erently. Like those videos ere
being phased out because we've
used them and now they've been
written about they've served their
purpose.
JOHN: They're more metaphor anyway
than actual instruction.
GSN:
What
we want
to do now
is get
more and more precise end really
start to articulate this invisible
language, this new lansuage; what
is it? Make it more precise but
also more visual. That's like with
the Cerrith, the one on the big
screen. Take that direction more.
Where it's still implying all the
things that the other ones have
but you're also, in a sense, being
more subtle, you're actually sneak—
ing into the sub-—conscious direct.
Instead of shocking the conscious
to let it thru', we're actually
now going to try to go straight
round into the subconscious and the
subconscious will recognise those
images because that's where they
come from. It wont need a logic.
And at the end of the day the most
—
exciting thing about almost any
human being is the sub-conscious,
the unconscious, the place Mares,

“Theree
are no evil people, there
)
are only victims’’ — Jerry Garcia
x
talking to Charlie Manson.
Paul Krassner is the editor of the
Realist, an intermittently pub-
Hshed, occasionally brilliant,
magasine (subs $4 a year from
595 Broadway, New York 10012).
Krasaner also wrote ‘How a Satiri-
cal Editor Became a Yippie Con-
spirator in Ten Easy Years’ (37
from same place).
When Ed Sanders was wri
his book The Family about the
Manson murders he
promised to
let Krassner publish in the Realist
all the bits that Sanders had been
forced to leave out.
Last
December Sanders
changed his mind. Sanders was
being sued by the Process Church
of the Final Judgment and his
attorneys wouldn't let Krassner
see the
files.
Not unsurprisingly Krassner
became obsessed with the missing
bits and started his own research.
He even hired private detectives
to check out facts.
The result? Krasmer suffered
what he calls a ‘paranoid freakout’.
He also ran out of cash But he
woduced an article called ‘The
Parts Left Out of the Manson
Book’. It’ll be printed in the 13th
anniversary issue of the Realist.
Here, for OZ readers, is a foretaste
Parts of the Parts Left Out of the
Manson Book.......
The conctuston I (and others)
have reached — incredible as it
may seem — is that the slaying of
Sharon Tate and her dope-dealing
friends was planned and engineered at the highest levels of Amert+
can government. I've tracked down
the individual that Manson and
Tex Watson met with. He is in
Navy Intelligence, which is Div+
sion Five of the FBI, which iz
essentially the CIA. He was also
known as a hippie artist.
Se
I even considered the possi
bility that there were two differ.
ent characters, but I interviewed
some people he stayed with in his
artistic role, and once during an
argument he shouted at a young
woman, “You're nothing but a
dirty Jew!"’ That certainly does
n’t evolve out of the hippie ethic.
You might expect to be chastised
for being basically middle-class,
Perhaps, and indeed there is a key
to understanding this case.
In order for the unholy trinity
— milttary intelligence, corporate
Power amd organised crime — to
maintain control, they must divide
and conquer. And what better
arget — along with blacks and
Chicanos and poor whites — than
the hippies?
It was Tex who did the shooting and most of the stabbing at
the Tate house. Yet ho was held
in a Texas jail — his Los Angeles
lawyers were scooted out of town
by federal cops — and there he was
held till after Charlie was found
guilty.
In the Manson trial, since
Charlies had not been at the scene
of the crime, it was necessary for
Prosecutor Vincent Bugliosi to
convince the fury that Tex and
the girls were al] sombies under
Charlie’s control. Whereas, in Tex
Watson's trial, since he pleaded
not guilty by reason of insanity,
this same Bugliosi inaisted that
Tex was not a sombie, he knew
precisely what he was doing. He
was also found guilty, but it
wasn’t quite the same thing,
ima
ge- wise,
In a letter to me, Charlie
asserts that although he knew
what was going to happen, it was
Tex who told the girls what to
do. When Jerry Rubin visited
Manson in prison before the trial,
he admitted his guilt this way:

the Tate murders and myself, and
