The Brag of the SubGenius ‘| PICK gods out THE GOD DAMN of my nose! Pardon terror of the fucking my language. 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 god damn water! Yes, I’m the javalina humping junkie 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 . it for fun! My imagination is a fucking cancer and I'll 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’ wimp meat! 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! I’m immune! \|'m radioactive! Come on and give me cancer, I’ll spit up the tumor and butter my bread with the juice! /’m supernatural, | bend crowbars with my meat ax and athought/ RIGHTS ALL RESERV My droppings bore through the earth and erupt volcanoes in China! Yes, I can drink more wine and stay soberer than all the heathen Hindoos in Asia!: YEEEE HAW! Gut Blowout! 1ama Moray Eel, I am a Komodo Dragon, | am a Killer Whale bereft of its pup!

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 compromise with hierarchies of any sort itional transfer political of to parties and the power from and tradone ruling elite to another, Situationism 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. AUJOURDHUI 60's Sitwationism offered young people,conditioned by western post-war affluence, the chance to get out end do something about it. And cuite 2 lot did, you find the least likely people from that time were influenced by Debord end Vaneigem. In 1966, with 'The Society of the Spectacle' 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 society. Their first opportunity arose later in sity, a notoriously ist '66 at Strasbourg student student union.

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, espec— 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 they decided to bring in the police despite what Silently were bundled happened at Nanterre. groups of students into police trucks. As the first load were driven away 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 of the dey 597 people had been arrested and hundreds more were wounded. The Authorities oppress-— ion end heevy hendling of the sit-— uation hed provided tens of thous— ands of young parisians with some— thing concrete to release their pent-up anger, frustration, alienation and resentment on. The cry of 'Liberez nos Camarades!' went up and the students held their ground for 2 week, es more and more young people joined their increesingly militant demonstrat— ions. Until on May IIth M.Pompidou withdrew the police from the Latin “uarter end said thet the case of the arrested students would be re— considered end the University re- opened. la lutte continue As the news spread and the phenomenal demonstrations, via TV-footage of the barricades and burning streets, thousands of people from all also individuals drawn by something relevent to their situetion. Amongst the english contingent were John Barker, Anna Mendelson and Christ~— opher Bott, who were later to put the ideas they were experiencing into practise back in Blighty go down in history as reality es part the eventually in as well and of notorious Stoke Newington Eight. Also, if you believe the story, Malcolm McLaren and Fred Vermorel, who the put to also were practise into ideas and way a different in gein eae different kind of notoriety.

The Spirit of Arthur Rimbeud lived on. The 'Paris Comm— une" hed become a reelity. Nothing like it, anywhere, had been seen before. This is how one english student described it; ‘First antic impression lid thoushts being and was lifted, of 2a gige pent-up aspirations suddenly exploding, on being released from the realm of dreams into the realm of the Real and Possible.

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. VAGUE: A gimmick, like the live shots of FOD fire breathing. GEN: But you've got to go from \GFUE: -T1'V's 'Harsay'?

But it's like the wedge in the door. It's set a precedent; we can be on television. whereas up to now we could'nt, we were just not allowed to be on. And they had a lot of pressure, even on the friday before it wes on, they were ringing us and Saying that Channel 4 was still zgett-— ing cold feet and had trimmed off 5 minutes and were really panicing about it. So the fact that the veople there insisted on it being on, I think is in their favour. And it shows thet for all its faults, they were trying to be fair end trying to give us a chance. And they've already reng up today and said they want to do a longer piece with us and do it better and in more depth. Sverything serves its purpose. It's an ongoing thing. It's a long-term thing; from that little bit we have a bit more chance to do more and other TV people see it and think'OK articulate and it they're looks auite quite inter esting’and that gives us more open— ings later.

If it's gentle it seems music it mis is poetic. And there are editing o:iss own secret their it to put viewpoint. as talking to the guy from 'Ear— ' about it and he said it was e'; that just changing a word e or where you cut. We all w° it really. Where you cut or Way it's lit totally changes tay people interpret it. The t that they use that word ‘tor e‘ in our thing completely alieni a percentage of the viewers, t because they used that word it was a lie. I rang him up ssaid it was a lie and he said s I know' but he did'nt Script, it wes someone out write else. Also img the the way they interview lf lighting. lit was 'This you classic is an evil son}! In here with TV lighting, cant see that. It just looked emter. Actually they'd done the "Haloween' light under my face, f?rom below, so it looks more ewolent. But the way it's done; = with a picket line. If you s from behind the pickets, it =st like the police _emnt, attacking put the camera c:e line and it around, that gi Violent that to c: Drejudiced are being the picket. behind the looks the the pickets them, all the time. And like bulls in a2 china shop, they've got no conception of what they're doing, nobody has. Nobody's checked. They dont even know what damege they're doing to people's psychology or veople's unconscious mind. The only ones who are even close to lmowing about the are only advertisers. They're ones back who sit and deliberately plan it that way, because they've got 30 seconds and they plan everything in minute detail and one of the biggest threatening problems that's havpen— ing to TV is a lot of those direct— ors of adverts are now starting to do progremmes, especially in America. PIV REACHES THAT CHANNELS ORDINARY TV CAN NOT REACH PAUL: And advertising is becoming politically controlled as well. Saechi and Saachi doing Margaret Thatcher... GEN: Luis Palau went straight to Seachi and Saaechi did'nt he? He spent something like a million pounds just on advertising. But it is a magickal language. It's an incantation. They actually are basically casting a spell over everyone. But half of them dont know the spell whet other are which is technique and is or what it's point is. So it's like brainwashing people so their minds are empty and then leaving them empty. At least with brainwashing you fill it with something they're time. Ts: do there is a whole power language now, embedded in the way that TV is constructed and basically the people thet are doing it dont even Know the languege; they're just a l.e languege which cant be writ‘down, that is the way televis-— ‘is now edited. People who make programmes, part of the time un s:iciously, they doing else. is But what getting you into the state of being brainweshed and then leaving you suspended with a vacuum. They're not putting anything in. No real content. Which is why it works like valium. It suspends 'Do you world time. went to be part of sleeping of a people? Do you want to imbibe the drug of the commonplece? Will you be forever addicted to television TOPY's spoleman ) is magickal, Magick get to the up your conscious unconscious is why with in state to open mind to your and you fill the gap with the unconscious, with visions, with inspiration, whetever you want to call it. But you let ell that extra part of the way that LSD does brain...The same it. Just cpens up chennels thet other things cannot reech. But we try end fill that vacuum with content end that's probably why it shocks people be— cause they dont even know that's what's happening; thet television is being moved on that whole step further. Of course they normelly feel comfortable with it. Suddenly the whole thet it mekes is filled up egein. 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, all self-restriction?'

a. ae y ee ee n a t CIA killed Sharon Tate. t | “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: “As far as any connection with the Tate murders and myself, and MmNe > SQ >: e “YS the family that I live with, I'll say this: Iam connected with killing >->™ the Indians, and I'm connected ~@=,. < with killing the Mayans, the Incas. =a Tm ~~ I'm connected with everything that's been done in the name of Christ in nineteen hundred and seventy years.
