Decadent Worker #15 - 26Feb87

DecadentWorker15“As teleologues, the liberals, Marxists and anarchists thought that all the trappings of modernity — technology, democracy, humanism, etc. — came as a set. To their bewilderment, the New Right has mounted a massive high-tech propaganda campaign (anticipated, to be sure, by Goebbels) successfully promoting the most absurd and vicious misogynist, sadistic and irrational notions.” — Bob Black, “Let us prey! Smash the state!” (Summer ‘86) Anarchy, Box 380, Columbia, MO 65205

“Hillman Holcomb got in trouble with the early Technocrats, because he got wise to the fact that the program of the Technocrats was in the Bible (they did not believe in politics) so got thrown out.

“So he founded the ‘Christian Technocrats’ and managed to get about 37 members world wide in 20 plus years.

“All 37 were Nazis. Funny, hey?” — Co-man Ra (4/18/76 letter to Kerry Thornley)

“Freedom of speech has never been right. We’ve never had freedom of speech in this country and we never should have.” — Rich Anquin, Moral Majority

“There is nothing in the U.S. Constitution that sanctifies the separation of church and state.” — Pat Robertson

“Not only is the homosexual worthy of death, but (perhaps) also those who approve of homosexuality.” — Jimmy Swaggart

“Israel…must not only be held for the West, but must also be Christianized. This may perhaps best be achieved by the intensive evangelization of Israel’s financial bulwark, viz, American Jewry.” — Francis Nigel Lee, The Christian Manifesto of 1984 (”A victory blueprint for world take-over by A.D. 2000 by Christian conquerers”)

“The secret source of the left’s impotence in the face of the upsurge of the recrudescent right is this: they have too much in common… The left has never jettisoned the humanist moralism it took from Christianity. From Rousseau to Lenin (to say nothing of small fry from Bob Avakian to Mario Cuomo) it preaches guilt, renunciation, martyrdom, self-effacement, obedience, work — in a word, religion. Moralism means sacrifice of real, tangible individuals and their face-to-face passional groups to abstract extrinsic ’causes’ and pseudo-communities (the State, the Party, the Proletariat, la Raza, Sisterhood, etc. ad nauseum). If God is dead, moralism is the Doomsday Machine which he spitefully bequested us.

“The craving for community, for the sensation of a sensibility transcending the sterile, calculating reason of the engineers and bookkeepers and planners cannot be satiated by a demeaning religiosity which alls short of full-blooded practical reason; but only by a surrational leap which includes but exceeds it. ‘Reason is the bound or outward circumference of Energy’ (Blake), not the ultimate cop-like Categorical Imperative. Reversing Freud: Where Ego was, Id will be too.” — Bob Black, Ibid.

The New Year seems as good a time as any to change names and review priorities.

“Kerry,” said the man with whom I also discussed assassinating JFK, “the Cubans are mostly of Spanish blood, and Spaniards are white people. So if there is another war, and if there is some way of influencing where it occurs, I think it would be good if that war was against somebody other than the Cubans — such as an Oriental race. Don’t you?”

What he actually said, I have remembered since first writing that in my book (unpublished) about the assassination, was “if there is another war against Communism.” And what I actually answered, gung-ho Objectivist that I then was: “I think, though, there should be a war against Communism.”

In The Real Torch of Liberty, Bob Black’s latest pamphlet attacking everything that moves, he complains: “For most of us, our memories get worse as we age, we forget things. For Thornley it’s exactly the opposite. The further away he gets from these ancient supposed 60’s events the better his memory gets.”

Thirteen years after JFK was murdered I realized that I was involved, because the Watergate revelations demonstrated the relevance of things till then dismissed — conversations that occurred near New Orleans between 1961 (April or May) and November of 1963. If you understood, too late, the importance of discussions which happened long ago, your memory would also improve with age — because, believe me, you would think about it day and night, year after year.

Bob Black is most known these days for his brilliant tract against work, for which activity he omits any suggestion of an alternate means of livelihood. As for how Black makes it, he told me plainly in his own words once that he receives a grant from the Department of Justice. Enough said.

Another theory in circulation which dismisses my claim of direct knowledge in advance of a conspiracy to make war in Asia for racist reasons, is the contention that was mind controlled by the World-wide Church of God to remember something that in fact never happened. Although it is true that the technology exists to plan false memories, it is also true that the technology exists to find out once and for all if there was such a conspiracy — a little gizmo called a Psychological Stress Evaluator. You simply ask Edward Howard Hunt on tape if he ever spoke to me about killing Kennedy and making war in Asia in order to prevent an invasion of Cuba. Evidence indicates Hunt was passing himself off in Guy Banister’s office at that time as one Maurice Brooks Gatlin, Sr. According to Betrayal by Robert Murrow, Gatlin was spying on the FBI for Charles Cabell of CIA — the man who, according to David Emory, sabotaged air support in the Bay of Pigs. That individual is dead. His brother, Earl, who was mayor of Dallas when JFK was killed is, I think, still living — as are Richard Nixon, Pamela Churchill, Dean Rusk and many of the members of my mother’s side of my family, the Switzers, who were also allegedly involved. Question people like that on tape; find out if they had prior knowledge of the Vietnam war.

Every half hour a thousand people die of starvation. Do you think it coincidental that they happen to belong to what the Nazis regard as inferior races?
