Issue #1
|
|
|
|
Edited by Bloody Afterbirth
|
|
|
|
|
|
Released July 4, 1990 in commemoration of
|
|
National Overthrow The Government Day
|
|
|
|
The Flaming Fetus is put out on an irregular schedule with no currently
|
|
set purpose other than to provide things of varied interest to those who
|
|
care to use their brain for something besides head filler. Membership in
|
|
the group is not a requirement for contribution.
|
|
|
|
Toxic Shock Disclaimer
|
|
|
|
If you're looking for some people who cannot think for themselves out of
|
|
fear of offending someone or being misinterpreted, who are so full of
|
|
Greyface propaganda that they feel having fun is a S-I-N, who are so fucked
|
|
up in the head as to think everything in this world is just fine and those
|
|
things that aren't should not be discussed, then congratulations.
|
|
You've found one. Just look in a mirror.
|
|
|
|
What this means, for those of you whose degree of intelligence is on the
|
|
level with that of an extraordinarily dumb rock, is that we say what we want
|
|
to say, how we want to say it, about whatever we want. If you don't like
|
|
what we do, we don't give a fuck. If you feel every single thing that is
|
|
ever written must have some deeply significant meaning, if you are looking
|
|
for good, clean, family entertainment, then you will be let down. If you
|
|
are angered by those who think that humanity and the entire planet is
|
|
heading for crisis thanks to arrogant, intelligent homo sapiens, if parodies
|
|
really piss you off, especially when of The B-I-B-L-E, if you get extremely
|
|
perturbed by anything dealing with the darker side of life, then you will be
|
|
the most angered, perturbed, pissed off individual that has ever set foot
|
|
upon this toxic waste dump we call Earth.

Information About Contributions
|
|
|
|
We will consider anything and everything by almost anybody.
|
|
If you want to give it a try, contact Bloody Afterbirth on Lunatic Labs.
|
|
Future issues will be devoted, mainly, to a single topic or type of file.
|
|
We are not really looking for light fiction (entertainment only), but if
|
|
it is good we'll probably use it. (Parodies are looked upon with favor)
|
|
What we WANT are serious, thought provoking, informative files. Fiction
|
|
that makes a statement, magazine or book excerpts, essays or interviews,
|
|
etc. If it is relevant and well written, it will probably be used at some
|
|
time.
|
|
If you are seriously considering contributing, you really should call
|
|
Bloody Afterbirth and ask what topics he is planning for upcoing issues.
|
|
|
|
Future issues will not necessarily be anything like this one.

|
|
This is Bloody Afterbirth, screaming at ya from the position of Editor on
|
|
this, our gloriously mundane first newsletter... I've wanted to do one
|
|
since the very first night we were Conceived (heh heh), and the name I would
|
|
give it has always been known. . . But quite frankly, I wasn't sure we
|
|
would be around long enough, or that I would be involved at all for very
|
|
long... So I waited until I felt we were pretty well settled into things
|
|
and somewhat established... I just sent the 59th Toxic Shock file to the
|
|
main board and Gross Genitalia is working on a very awesome concept-file, so
|
|
this is our sixty-somethingth file. As I explain in "Electric Death", the
|
|
group has gone through hell and the two frontmen have done some soul
|
|
searching and found a little bit of a niche. I would say that we, at least,
|
|
know where we're heading.
|
|
But I'm not so sure about the modem community, which is the subject of
|
|
this editorial.
|
|
About a month or so ago, Ripco was taken down. But he isn't the only
|
|
one...boards everywhere are either being taken down or are going down
|
|
voluntarily. Most of the volunteers are chickenshits who panic anytime some
|
|
guy in Australia gets a parking ticket; some are bigger boards that can't
|
|
risk fighting the law. But, with Ripco down and, as I have heard, Metal AE
|
|
took his down, I think the only board still up that was up when I first
|
|
called out is P-80...and I'm not too sure about it since I never call it
|
|
anymore.
|
|
What the hell is happening?
|
|
I'll tell you what has happened, is happening, and will happen.
|
|
I got my first code off of QuantumLink in a private area someone had
|
|
called "Wearedead." Because I had some warez, I was invited to join with
|
|
them. Back when Qlink had "Person-2-Person" transfers, all you had to know
|
|
was who sent what and you could get it. We were mass pirating on a
|
|
commercial board, right under their noses. But...very few people were
|
|
passing warez. What I saw was a bunch of numbers...numbers that meant
|
|
nothing to me. But it was information, it was knowledge, it meant
|
|
SOMETHING. I didn't know what a 950 was. I didn't know what ESS was. I
|
|
didn't know what phreaking was. I couldn't hack a high school maintenance
|
|
computer. I thought the only way to use a credit card was to steal one.
|
|
But here were credit card numbers...Visas, MasterCards...I didn't dare
|
|
ask how to use them...I just captured it all...I see a number followed by
|
|
"[MCI]", and then a bunch of other numbers. The guy says that the second
|
|
bunch are "fresh codez - just hacked". I began to catch on.
|
|
I see numbers to departments in the government, to NASA, to some major
|
|
corporations...accounts on Compuserve and PeopleLink...more numbers to big
|
|
schools...not knowing what I was looking at, I just took it all down...all
|
|
of it...I was onto something...
|
|
After many hours of this, I suddenly came to a realization...I had a
|
|
bunch of knowledge, but it didn't mean shit because I didn't know how to use
|
|
it...Someone I had met (calling himself Cronus locally...now known as Fetal
|
|
Juice) seemed to know an awful lot about what went on outside of the local
|
|
area...He knew a lot about computers...Perhaps he would know!
|
|
And so I asked him about the 950s...he explained them...I asked him about
|
|
the codes and about "phreaking"...he explained them and gave me the most
|
|
precious things I ever got on any system...my first files.
|
|
The files not only told what the codes were, but how to use them and how
|
|
to get more...So simple! So EASY! And this friend of mine was calling out
|
|
(phreaking, if you wish)...When I had a question, this dude had an answer,
|
|
or could direct me somewhere where I could GET an answer...
|
|
I met others...The White Knight, running his Atari Castle...Amadeus...
|
|
I began using the codes...I began using the cards...
|
|
Cronus/Fetal wrote a codehacker...it worked...a virtually unlimited
|
|
supply of codes for us...We scanned the local area and found computers
|
|
everywhere...and local ports for MCI...PBXs...
|
|
One of the files I originally got contained a little message at the end
|
|
of it..."Ripco 312-528-5020 Quick Validation"
|
|
Whatthehellisaripco?
|
|
I called it up...My 300 baud modem got me an ass chewing I still haven't
|
|
forgotten...1200 came to me soon.
|
|
I called it up again...It asked so few questions...but this guy that ran
|
|
it...he had a hell of an attitude...an ego, but he wasn't arrogant..I had my
|
|
access the next day...no call of validation, apparently, because I didn't
|
|
live in Kentucky but whoever had that phone number did.
|
|
And what I saw blew my ass right through the top of my head. A G-File
|
|
section...I checked it out and HOLY FUCK BATMAN! he had a lot of files. I
|
|
checked out a few...more code lists, more info on hacking...Anarchy? I
|
|
checked it out...explosives, destruction, lock picking...KNOWLEDGE!
|
|
INFORMATION!
|
|
The message bases were full of people talking about shit that I knew
|
|
zilch about. Codes and cards were flying around like so much dust in the
|
|
wind. Numbers for computers just gotten...Boards coming up, all of them
|
|
dedicated to free speech, free thought, free action. All had files.
|
|
Dave Letterman was roaming around...The Metal boards were up and, so I was
|
|
told, were the best in the nation.
|
|
Anything I could possibly want to know, I could find out.
|
|
Virgin systems awaiting the thrust of my electronic hip...INFORMATIVE
|
|
files being pumped out by the dozen.
|
|
|
|
And ya know what? Sprint...MCI...The Government...The whole fucking
|
|
SYSTEM couldn't do SHIT to ANY of us! NOBODY was getting caught! It was so
|
|
damn easy it was PATHETIC!
|
|
|
|
And ya know what?
|
|
That fucked everything up.
|
|
The hackers...the TRUE hackers...were very willing to tell almost anyone
|
|
what they knew. Knowledge and information were shared almost carelessly.
|
|
And the computer which I had been using for quite awhile suddenly because
|
|
very popular. The Commodore 64. Every little spud in the world was
|
|
suddenly into computers. Before, almost everyone I knew was on an Apple.
|
|
All the best boards I called were on Apples. Tandy had some good boards. I
|
|
never did see an IBM board that was any good. BUT...The 64 changed all
|
|
that. It had games, better games, the baddest games. And the little
|
|
kiddies wanted to pirate. But for efficient pirating, the mail sucked.
|
|
"Well, let's all just phreak!", they said.
|
|
They found out how to phreak...they learned how to hack codes...thanks to
|
|
code hackers, which abounded, anyone and everyone could get codes...They
|
|
thought using codes was the only way to phreack...boxing went into oblivion
|
|
as the majority chose to be ignorant. It wouldn't be so bad...but the
|
|
schmucks liked to brag. They had to show off what they knew.
|
|
Before, people told what they knew because the ONLY people who had
|
|
computers KNEW their computers. The entire modem community was an elite
|
|
society. Schmucks Did Not Exist. And now they came...A Deluge of schmucks.
|
|
THEY had to show off. THEY had to brag. THEY had to run their mouths.
|
|
They were careless and stupid. They thought not of risks, not of the
|
|
future, but of the present. They made mistakes...oh did they make mistakes.
|
|
And all our Big Brothers caught on. They watched the idiots running
|
|
around like beheaded chickens. They watched and they learned...Our Big
|
|
Brothers are not entirely stupid.
|
|
People began to be busted.
|
|
Sure, mainly the schmucks...
|
|
But if you have 10 eggs, 9 of which are bad, and drop them all from a
|
|
roof...even the good one goes splat...If you bust 100 people and 5 of them
|
|
are the True Ones, they're still busted...
|
|
When the schmucks draw attention to EVERYONE, noone is safe.
|
|
|
|
Security got beefed up.
|
|
ESS took over.
|
|
ANI came over.
|
|
|
|
Files suddenly were copies of other people's work...How many versions of
|
|
the Poor Man's James Bond files have you seen? How many people do
|
|
"Lineman's Headsets"? And, even though we've done a flamethrower file, how
|
|
many files about them are out there?
|
|
Boards went down and people went down..because a schmuck narced on a cool
|
|
True One. They narc to save their ass. They narc on boards and on people.
|
|
Jeremy Hall narced on Amadeus...many boards, many mail boxes, etc etc...
|
|
And it was a keen-thing-to-do. Turn in, you go free. They turn in, they go
|
|
free. A neverending cycle...Until a cool person gets in the gears.
|
|
Such as Fetal Juice...when he got busted, he could easily have narced on
|
|
White Knight, Amadeus, me, and a few other people...Lots of boards, too.
|
|
He said nothing.
|
|
That cycle stopped.
|
|
|
|
That was up until the recent and present time.
|
|
I gave a guy about 6 or 7 megs of text files.
|
|
These are the BEST FILES that have ever existed!
|
|
They tell you anything and EVERYTHING you could want to know about
|
|
hacking or phreaking. Hell, I even gave him all the Phrack newsletters I
|
|
could find on my harddrive!
|
|
And the bastard asks me how to phreak.
|
|
He has the files, but he will not read them.
|
|
I showed him a fake account on BIX...but when I also told him that he
|
|
could always get traced and have his system taken from him, he jerked his
|
|
nuts into his abdomen and shit a purple turd.
|
|
He still asks how to phreak..."Read the files."
|
|
He still asks how to phreak.
|
|
|
|
That is now.
|
|
|
|
Ripco is down...I didn't like it much anymore...I don't phreak much
|
|
anymore because of the risks the schmucks have brought on (and I can go to
|
|
prison for it now. Do it while you're young.)
|
|
|
|
I offer my files to almost everyone.
|
|
None want them.
|
|
I offer codes and cards to almost everyone.
|
|
None want them because none can use them.
|
|
I offer knowledge and information.
|
|
Nobody wants it.
|
|
Nobody cares.
|
|
|
|
Where has the thirst for knowledge gone?
|
|
Where are those who would bang away for days to get just a little peek in
|
|
a new system? Where are the trashers? The carders? The phreakers? The
|
|
hackers?
|
|
Why is it that nobody wants to know anything?
|
|
Why does noone want to WORK for anything? Why must everything be given
|
|
on a silver platter with instructions a fetus could understand?
|
|
Has curiosity killed all the cats?
|
|
Are all that's left a bunch of dogs, flea bitten curs that gladly sit
|
|
lazily in the shade, letting what goes on go on?
|
|
Where are those who stand up for what they think?
|
|
Where are those that THINK?
|
|
|
|
Can you see what is happening?
|
|
I describe the past and ask questions about the present.
|
|
What about the future?
|
|
Our rights have left.
|
|
People are becoming mindless automatons of semi-sentient flesh.
|
|
They listen to the brainwashing propaganda that is pumped out every hour
|
|
every minute and every second of every day of every week of every month of
|
|
every YEAR!
|
|
Noone wants to know...noone wants to learn...
|
|
Files were drugs to me.
|
|
Computers were drugs to me.
|
|
Boards were drugs to me.
|
|
I got high off of calling out.
|
|
The thrill I felt back then was better than any high you can get today,
|
|
even Crack...it was better than sex...
|
|
|
|
There are so few of the True left...
|
|
Chalk up another endangered species...
|
|
In a day where a computer has to have a fucking mouse and a pretty
|
|
desktop environment so people won't have to type with their precious fingers
|
|
or learn how to actually use the system, the Society is fucked.
|
|
In a day where stupid fucking files about sex and slaughter are all that
|
|
a group puts out, and all that are asked for, the Society is fucked.
|
|
I have been asked to do more files like "Night of the Fetus"...more of my
|
|
parodies...I have no problem with writing my stories, I love to write.
|
|
But...NOT...ONE...SINGLE...PERSON...has asked us to be informative.
|
|
NOONE asks us to do anything except be obnoxious.
|
|
Even the files we DO do with meaning...they are overlooked.
|
|
Everything has to be obvious...Everything has to be spoon fed...
|
|
|
|
The people of this world are a bunch of babies.
|
|
A few years ago, the people of this world were adults.
|
|
|
|
We're going backwards, people.
|
|
|
|
What is before a baby?
|
|
|
|
A Fetus.
|
|
|
|
Fetus is coming to power, people...open your eyes...we're fucking up.

|
|
|
|
The biggest and most disturbing news is the sudden onslaught of our
|
|
government upon the people of this cunt tree... The War On Drugs is wasting
|
|
our valuable money for a stupid and ridiculous purpose. The feds and the
|
|
big corporations are trying to remove from existence any and all bastions of
|
|
free speech and free thought.
|
|
Those bastions, we call the boards.
|
|
Nowhere else in this na-shun can people speak so freely or openly about
|
|
their thoughts and beliefs.
|
|
Which means those same boards are getting unnecessary attention from an
|
|
unnecessary audience...Be careful, my friends...Too many people get busted
|
|
as it is...
|
|
|
|
Rumor has it that we're going to become a much better group. I wouldn't
|
|
know WHERE such a thing could get started, but. . . Long long ago, groups
|
|
did meaningful things... And, though I may not think everything should be
|
|
deeply significant, a large portion of what we do should be done for a
|
|
reason... Be looking for stuff from us that you just don't see from groups
|
|
anymore... We won't waste your time.
|
|
|
|
We have begun active recruitment of members, so perhaps those of you with
|
|
aspirations of joining the best damn group in the world (laughter fills my
|
|
ears) could call us up... hehheh... Centre of Eternity is your best bet,
|
|
unless you want ME to 'audition' you, in which case, you should call Lunatic
|
|
Labs and leave me mail.
|
|
|
|
A goal of at least 100 files by November has been set...We want to bust
|
|
that number within a year, and we want our files to be good...So it may take
|
|
a little doing to get quality AND quantity...but we can do anything. If
|
|
you'd like to help us reach that goal. . . . .
|
|
|
|
As you may notice, Toxic Shock has begun it's Infestation 1990 tour... We
|
|
were sending SOME files to RipCo, and that was about as much work as we did
|
|
to get ourselves in your face. We have gotten more active of late... And,
|
|
amazingly, we do find that some people have heard of us. No telling what
|
|
kind of audience will develop now. If you have comments/suggestions and
|
|
think they'll do a damn bit of good, drop one of us a line somewhere...
|
|
|
|
Yet another rumor has it that Bloody Afterbirth isn't satisfied with this
|
|
issue of the newsletter and plans to make the next one much better.
|
|
|
|
Roger Waters is doing another production of The Wall rreeaall soon, but
|
|
in case you're wanting to get the black denim jacket (embroidered both
|
|
sides) that they're selling for it (percentage of proceeds go to a memorial
|
|
relief fund in honor of war deaths), call 800.451.1120. It costs 79 bucks
|
|
plus $6.50 for shipping and handling. Get the goddamned thing, you want it.

For Whom The Bell Tolls
|
|
|
|
-Bloody Afterbirth-
|
|
|
|
We have been looking for some new members for quite some time.
|
|
However, we are HIGHLY selective. Several people have offered to lend us
|
|
a hand (mainly as idea-men, and we have plenty of ideas, we need more than
|
|
two main writers!), and they have all been turned down so far.
|
|
Perhaps our early files have given the wrong impression.
|
|
We are not a Sex And Slaughter group, even though S&S is integral to many
|
|
of our files and almost all of our first ones. ANYone can write a file
|
|
about sex. ANYone can write a file about slaughter. Not just anyone can do
|
|
it as good as we can, but regardless, S&S is not what Fetal Juice and I
|
|
intended this group to be for.
|
|
A Toxic Shock file should fit into one or more of these categories:
|
|
|
|
1 - Serious and probably offensive to someone.
|
|
Ex:Relating to political corruption, the destruction of our planet,
|
|
drugs, philosophies, etc. A serious issue.
|
|
|
|
2 - Parodies and satires, again probably offensive to someone.
|
|
Ex:Rewriting things such as The B-I-B-L-E, obvious works of bullshit
|
|
such as The Necronomicon (though cDc has monopolized that one. But
|
|
this IS an example list), things relating to phrack or trashing or
|
|
carding or terrorism or.. (and especially for slamming those schmucks
|
|
who know EVERYTHING and nothing about phreaking, or who talk about
|
|
the LIMITLESS number of people they have killed, etc etc etc), etc.
|
|
|
|
3 - Something that is completely and totally off the wall, different, out
|
|
of the norm, etc etc.
|
|
Ex:If you need an example, you wouldn't know a file like this if I
|
|
shoved a print-out of it up your ass.
|
|
|
|
4 - Informative.
|
|
Ex:If you need an example, you won't be writing files of this type
|
|
anyway.
|
|
|
|
As you can see, just about anything can be written... Whether we like
|
|
your work or not is dependent upon two things...What you wrote and how you
|
|
wrote it.
|
|
You can write about the sexual habits of purple fungus on Mars, as long
|
|
as it is presented in a distinctive manner. You can write a straight sex
|
|
file, as long as it isn't something that just ANYone could have written.
|
|
You can plagiarize books and magazines, as long as what you copy is
|
|
relevent. (We could care less about the newest flavor of Slim Fast or the
|
|
latest dress Mrs. Bush isn't wearing.)
|
|
You could also write a file chock-full of environmental damage
|
|
information, but if it puts us to sleep or seems to be written by a total
|
|
idiot who knows only how to quote statistics, we won't accept it.
|
|
The best way to see if we want you and your work is the same way to see
|
|
if you could make it as a 'real' writer...try. I, more-so than the other
|
|
members of the group, will tell you exactly what I think about your work,
|
|
good or bad. If I don't like it, I'll tell you why and offer some
|
|
suggestions if I think there's any hope for you. You should expect the same
|
|
from the others, though they'll be less blunt about it.
|
|
|
|
I guess that just about wraps this up...There are but a few for whom
|
|
the bell tolls...are you one of them?

-Bloody Afterbirth-
|
|
|
|
For the same reason we haven't put out that many files recently, we also
|
|
have not put out a newsletter... Care to hear the story? Well tough shit,
|
|
read it anyway!
|
|
We started Toxic Shock in late November 1989, and by Christmas of the
|
|
same year, we had written over 30 files. Anyone who has ever done that many
|
|
files so quickly on basically the same subjects knows how burned out one
|
|
gets from doing such a thing. Burn-Out kills more groups than abortions
|
|
kill fetuses.
|
|
About that time, I also moved away for HIGHer education, college,
|
|
whatever... Obviously Gross Genitalia and myself are the front-men for the
|
|
group, and we apparently lost interest in the group after being slightly
|
|
bummed out thanks to school. When the workers quit, the factory stops.
|
|
I went through phases where I thought Toxic Shock was a waste of my time,
|
|
then the greatest thing that ever happened to me (heh), and then again a
|
|
waste. Our file production came to an oozing halt.
|
|
I am a very picky person, and contrary to what you may think, I have very
|
|
high standards for what I will release as a Toxic Shock file by myself.
|
|
Being bummed out, I was writing garbage... Being a perfectionist, the
|
|
garbage got disposed of...
|
|
Gross, on the other hand, was more worried about us dying out than I was
|
|
and began to write files just for the sake of writing...Both of us can admit
|
|
that the files we were writing weren't all that good compared to earlier
|
|
attempts... For many months, Gross was the only one writing anything. He
|
|
cared for the group, but not for what he was writing. I cared for writing,
|
|
but not a damn bit about the group. A long time passed.
|
|
However, we did have time for reflection, and it became obvious that the
|
|
group was not doing what Fetal Juice and I had intended. Anyone can write a
|
|
sex file, and anyone can write a slaughter file (maybe not as good as we
|
|
can, but that's another story! heh!). Not that we don't want sex and
|
|
slaughter in the files, we just don't want the whole file to be nothing but
|
|
S&S. Sooooo, after a bit of soul searching, the Toxic Front-Men (Gross
|
|
Genitalia and myself) have apparently found our places for the group.
|
|
Our quantity may be down a little, but our quality is going up a lot.
|
|
We want a real GROUP from Toxic Shock. Most groups these days are pansy
|
|
fucks that waste everyone's time...just like most of our early stuff did.
|
|
We know where we're heading now, so watch for a New Age in Toxicity...
|
|
This doesn't mean we're mellowing out, or that we're going to be less
|
|
radical... This doesn't mean that we're going to start giving a fuck when
|
|
someone misinterprets what we say or do. This doesn't mean we're going to
|
|
worry when someone might get 'pissed off' because of what we say.
|
|
If you don't like it, don't read it. If it bothers you, fuck yourself.
|
|
Hail Fetus!

|
|
|
Steven Hager, editor of HIGH TIMES and founder of the Freedom Fighters,
|
|
has been working in counterculture journalism for the past 22 years.
|
|
Shortly after arriving at HIGH TIMES, he began a crusade for the
|
|
legalization of hemp, inspired by "The Emperor Wears No Clothes" by Jack
|
|
Herer.
|
|
|
|
HIGH TIMES:When did you first become aware of marijuana?
|
|
|
|
Steven Hager:When I was 15. Wild hemp could be found growing along any
|
|
riverbank in the county. I was born May 25th, 1951, in Urbana, Illinois.
|
|
During WWII, Urbana was the site of one of the largest hemp factories in the
|
|
country. I guess that qualifies it as the hemp capital of America. We used
|
|
to harvest wild hemp and smoke it when I was a teenager, but I don't think
|
|
anyone got high smoking it. I think we just got off on the thrill of doing
|
|
something illegal.
|
|
|
|
HT:How did you become editor of HIGH TIMES?
|
|
|
|
SH:I got into counterculture journalism in 1968, when I founded a newspaper
|
|
called the "Tin Whistle", which was published in Champaign, Illinois. The
|
|
paper was distributed in four high schools and banned in two of them.
|
|
Shortly after the first LSD laws were passed, I was arrested with a bunch of
|
|
my friends for possession of LSD. I think we were the first people in the
|
|
state arrested under the new law. After I graduated high school, I went to
|
|
Sweden to avoid the draft, got kicked out of Sweden and ended up in college
|
|
in San Francisco, where I studied theatre, film, and journalism. I have a
|
|
Masters in Journalism from the University of Illinois. I worked for a lot
|
|
of magazines and newspapers and wrote two books before being hired by HIGH
|
|
TIMES. I also wrote a film script called "Beat Street", which was produced
|
|
by Harry Belafonte.
|
|
|
|
HT:Who are the Freedom Fighters?
|
|
|
|
SH:Patriotic Americans who believe in hemp for food, fuel, and fiber.
|
|
|
|
HT:Who founded the organization?
|
|
|
|
SH:I did.
|
|
|
|
HT:What inspired you?
|
|
|
|
SH:I guess reading Jack Herer's book "The Emperor Wears No Clothes" played a
|
|
major role. So did the Dutch Provos and the Merry Pranksters. The Dutch
|
|
Provos were the original and best of the '60s radicals. Although they were
|
|
only a small group, they had a tremendous impact on Dutch society. The
|
|
Provos were experts at using humor to beat the eastablishment and they knew
|
|
how to exploit the media. The idea of a "happening" was invented by the
|
|
Provos. [See HT, Jan '90] The Merry Pranksters were a little like that, too
|
|
-- they used humor to threaten the establishment.
|
|
|
|
HT:How many Freedom Fighters are there?
|
|
|
|
SH:More than a thousand.
|
|
|
|
HT:Who runs the organization?
|
|
|
|
SH:Last April, the Freedom Fighters elected their leaders in their first
|
|
annual convention in Ann Arbor. The state leaders are holding a meeting in
|
|
June to discuss the future of the organization. My role was to get the
|
|
group on its feet. I think I accomplished that. Now it's time for them to
|
|
decide what to do.
|
|
|
|
HT:How do the Freedom Fighters differ from NORML?
|
|
|
|
SH:If I was completely happy with NORML, I probably wouldn't have started
|
|
another organization. Although NORML has collected lots of money over the
|
|
years, they haven't accomplished much. For 15 years the cannabis protest
|
|
movement has been hampered by ego confrontations and turf battles. Jack
|
|
Herer is the best example. He wrote this amazing book on the history of
|
|
hemp. And for years HIGH TIMES and NORML ignored him. I didn't discover
|
|
the book until I'd been at HIGH TIMES for two years! NORML should have been
|
|
talking about hemp and the environment and pushing Jack's book ten years
|
|
ago. I'm hoping Don Fiedler (the new national director) can get NORML
|
|
active and back on its feet.
|
|
|
|
HT:What do the Freedom Fighters do?
|
|
|
|
SH:They dress up in colonial outfits, organize cannabis protest rallies, and
|
|
inform the public of the environmental benefits of re-legalizing hemp.
|
|
|
|
HT:Who is Ed Hassle?
|
|
|
|
SH:Ed is a cartoon character, a pot smoking madman invented by Flick Ford
|
|
and myself. We needed a spiritual leader to get the organization started,
|
|
so we created Mr. Hassle. but we're gonna phase Ed and his Psychedelic
|
|
Pirates out of the Freedom Fighters. He's not really needed anymore.
|
|
|
|
HT:When do you think cannabis will be legal?
|
|
|
|
SH:The forces keeping pot illegal are among the strongest in the world.
|
|
They include the oil and petrochemical industries, liquor and tobacco
|
|
companies, and the pharmaceutical industry. People tend to make fun of the
|
|
pot movement. Like it's a bunch of hippies who just want to smoke dope.
|
|
That's what the government would like you to think. The truth is legalizing
|
|
hemp would restructure our national economy and put more money in the hands
|
|
of American farmers, while devestating the petrochemical industry -- the
|
|
major source of world pollution. I don't know when cannabis will be legal.
|
|
I do know that the Greenhouse Effect won't be reversed until it is. They
|
|
have billions of dollars and all the thugs and narco cops in the world on
|
|
their side, but the truth is on our side. One day the truth will prevail.
|
|
|
|
HT:Why are the companies against legal hemp?
|
|
|
|
SH:Because the corporations can't find a way to control the profits. Hemp
|
|
grows wild in all 50 states. There's no patent on it, and no chemical
|
|
formula is needed to produce it. Every car in America could be running on
|
|
non-polluting hempseed oil. And any farmer could sell the oil.
|
|
|
|
HT:What about hemp fiber?
|
|
|
|
SH:No one would buy polyester clothes if they had hemp ones instead. Hemp
|
|
is the strongest, softest, most durable fiber on the planet. Maybe cotton
|
|
is a little softer, but half the chemicals used in American agriculture are
|
|
used on cotton. It's a very bad crop in terms of the environment. Levi's
|
|
jeans were originally made from hemp.
|
|
|
|
HT:What about the liquor and tobacco industries?
|
|
|
|
SH:Tobacco kills 300,000 people every year. Alcohol kills 150,000. No one
|
|
ever died from pot. Once the American people become aware of these facts,
|
|
pot consumption will go up, while hard drug use will go down.
|
|
|
|
HT:Are there any legitimate medical uses for marijuana?
|
|
|
|
SH:There are many doctors who regularly prescribe marijuana to their
|
|
patients. There's even a free underground hospital distribution system for
|
|
cancer patients. The overwhelming evidence is that marijuana is one of the
|
|
best available medicines for glaucoma, epilepsy, muscle spasms, anorexia,
|
|
and for relief of nausea brought on by chemotherapy. Despite this evidence,
|
|
the DEA continues to insist the plant has no medical value.
|
|
|
|
HT:Why would legalizing hemp reverse the Greenhouse Effect?
|
|
|
|
SH:We've deforested our nation to make cheap paper out of trees. Trees are
|
|
basically carbon sinkholes. They eat carbon dioxide and release oxygen.
|
|
Because we've killed so many trees, our atmosphere has too much carbon
|
|
dioxide, and that's what's causing the Greenhouse Effect. Cannabis is the
|
|
fastest growing biomass on the planet, and it grows under all kinds of
|
|
conditions. If we covered the nation with hemp fields -- and used that hemp
|
|
for fuel, fiber, and paper -- it would only take a few years to put the
|
|
atmosphere back in balance. Paper made from hemp lasts 10 times longer than
|
|
paper made from trees, and can be produced at 1/5th the pollution.
|
|
|
|
HT:Why is it so hard to get the real facts to the people?
|
|
|
|
SH:HIGH TIMES has been bombarding the national media with hemp information
|
|
for two years and no one wants to publish the truth. It's scary. All
|
|
knowledge of hemp has been deliberately erased from our national memory.
|
|
But why should that surprise us? Look at the Kennedy and King
|
|
assassinations. Congress figured out years ago that the Mafia and the CIA
|
|
conspired to kill both men, but they're too intimidated to do anything about
|
|
it. Our country is in a really bad state. I think the worst drug is
|
|
television. It has turned the nation into a bunch of mindless consumers.
|
|
|
|
HT:How do you feel about other psychedelics, like LSD?
|
|
|
|
SH:Psychedelics are important because they cause people to examine their
|
|
values. I believe in the heritage of this country and the principles under
|
|
which it was founded. I don't see any conflict between those principles and
|
|
psychedelic substances. The government wants to dismantle the Bill of
|
|
Rights in the name of the drug war. Unless we stand up now, everything our
|
|
founding fathers stood for will soon evaporate.

-Fetal Juice
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A bolt of blue lighting strikes from a cold, clear, moonless
|
|
night followed by a clap of thunder snapping the stars out of the sky.
|
|
Noises like that of lost chants soon start to resonate from the
|
|
wombs of all women. And those women start to feel the fury of the
|
|
one true pain for the first and last time of their now worthless
|
|
lives.
|
|
|
|
At the bottom of a smoking crater lies a large blue crystal
|
|
sphere in a pool of clotting blood. Sulfurous fumes bubble violently
|
|
out of the bloody pool, releasing a yellowish fog. An evil red light
|
|
streaks from the crystal's core to the center of the sky, into the
|
|
very bowels of what mortals wish heaven to be. Toward this sphere
|
|
women crawl, for they are in pain, and must crawl or their bodies
|
|
will be devoured from the inside to the out.
|
|
|
|
Finally the first woman reaches the sphere and the same bolt of
|
|
lightning arcs from the sky to the woman's belly, forcing her pregnancy
|
|
and her life to end. From this burnt offering of flesh rises a
|
|
Fetus. This Killer now has the powers of his father at its finger
|
|
tips. This Killer will kill.
|
|
|
|
The Fetus walks slowly across the clotting blood, tearing through
|
|
the pool's surface with his clawed feet to reach the crystal. Setting
|
|
both hands on the sphere he is absorbed into it, screaming with
|
|
horrible pain. Pain far worse than the women had felt. Soon more
|
|
women arrive to meet their fate, and for each a strike of death from
|
|
the sky.
|
|
|
|
Eleven days later the sphere started to rise in the air. Slowly
|
|
it rose until all could see it's brilliance in the warmth of daylight.
|
|
There it exploded. Revealing to all the ultimate horror : The Winged
|
|
Fetus Lives.
|
|
|
|
With his will he controls the minds and bodies of all. With his
|
|
will he can force your "God" to kneel and wimper for mercy. With his
|
|
will the elements converge and do his bidding. He is not one to be
|
|
fucked with.
|
|
|
|
"We have to kill it!" screams the five star general.
|
|
"But how sir? What is it?" a major asks.
|
|
"I don't know. Launch a missile strike on it!"
|
|
|
|
As so was ordered, rockets fill the sky and streak toward The
|
|
Winged One, but He simply looks at them and they fall from the sky,
|
|
powerless, killing those who happened to be beneath them. With an
|
|
extention of his arm a ray of black shoots toward that general, and he
|
|
is pulled up toward Him. Now in The Winged One's hand he is asked,
|
|
why do you fear me? To that the general could not respond. The
|
|
Winged One then says, "It's simple, it is because I WILL kill you!."
|
|
The sound of his voice blasts holes in the oceans as the water tries
|
|
to escape its compression.. With a effortless closing of His fist,
|
|
the general oozes his way back to his army.
|
|
|
|
With a glance of His eyes, and a twitch of His finger millions of
|
|
Fire Fetuses fill the air, then He says, Let there be Party. And the
|
|
Fire Fetuses fly down to do as they will. They find women to rape, but
|
|
the heat of their existence is such that the women blister and wither
|
|
while the Fire Fetuses have their fun. The Winged One sees this and
|
|
feels pity on the women, with that He grants the women eternal life,
|
|
and regenerates them after each Fire Fetus has his way, so that they,
|
|
the women, may have this blistering pain forever!!
|
|
|
|
"I am bored!" Speaks The Winged One, "Entertain me Humans", with
|
|
that he speaks with a tone in his voice that gives the entire human
|
|
race a value less than an atom of His shit.
|
|
|
|
The humans try to entertain Him but fail, and He kills some. This
|
|
he finds amusing for only a short time... "Hmmm?? What could I do..
|
|
What do they value most? Ahh... I know... heh heh heh..." With a grin
|
|
on His face the Winged One orders the Christian god and son to appear.
|
|
And they do.
|
|
|
|
The Winged One grins maliciously at his thoughts of what is to come.

Conformist State...

|
|
A Phile on U.S. Censorship...
|

Written by: Cyberpunk

[][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][]
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Well this phile deals with the topic of censorship in the United
|
|
States of America. Yes, I said censorship. The government has
|
|
recently imposed a ban on the Two Live Crew Album "Nasty As They Wanna
|
|
Be". Now this is the first move in a strategic battle that will one
|
|
day rob this country's citizens of their rights, and make us mindless
|
|
puppets of the State.
|
|
|
|
Over the past ten years or so, there has been a massive war against
|
|
pornography, and other things deemed 'obscene', by the government or
|
|
other groups. These other things include music with lyrics that are
|
|
considered tasteless. Now of course the government and these other
|
|
groups know the thoughts of every American Citizen and are allowed to
|
|
act on those thoughts. Yeah right! Sure! Give me a damned break.
|
|
|
|
The constitution is suppose to protect our basic rights of freedom.
|
|
Not so, as it now seems. Now it seems the government is allowed to
|
|
say what is or what isn't good for the average American Citizen, to
|
|
hear, read, see, or even say. The 1st Amendment to the constitution
|
|
states, and I quote, "Congress shall make no law respecting an
|
|
establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;
|
|
or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press, or the right of
|
|
the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a
|
|
redress of grievances." But gee, it seems that the laws set down by
|
|
our ancestors mean nothing now, because you can rule things outside
|
|
the constitution.
|
|
|
|
As I said earlier, the record, "Nasty As They Wanna Be", was banned
|
|
from stores nationwide. Now this was a black rap group on an
|
|
independent label. They have neither the resources nor the time to
|
|
fight a lengthy court battle. This is a direct violation of their 1st
|
|
amendment rights. If it seems that I am defending them, I sure as
|
|
hell am. It matters not if they are black or white. Or if their
|
|
music is Rap or any other type. What matters is that their record was
|
|
banned, and that is a direct violation of the constitution. See if we
|
|
let the government ban their records, soon they will go for Heavy
|
|
Metal, then Rock, then all other types of music. And we will only
|
|
listen to what the government wants. Then they will start with books.
|
|
|
|
Then where will we be? The damned Government will then control every
|
|
aspect of our lives.
|
|
|
|
The government just recently started making record companies put
|
|
labels on the records stating what types of lyrics were in them. And
|
|
if they were obscence to post it outside the record. This is a mild
|
|
form of Censorship, but none-the-less it is censorship. Also records
|
|
that were considered obscene were not suppose to be sold to kids under
|
|
18. Who the fuck decides if they are obscene?!? The fucking
|
|
government, that's who! The average schmoo has no say in it. Our
|
|
constitution is supposed to protect us, but it seems that it is
|
|
failing. What are we to do? If the record IS obscence, so what? The
|
|
1st amendment protects it, but then again the government has control
|
|
to rule it outside the constitution. It comes down to what the
|
|
government thinks the people should listen to.
|
|
|
|
The country is slowly degenerating into chaos. The people will not
|
|
stand for this much longer. Of course then again, they might not even
|
|
know that their rights are being taken away. That is how lazy we
|
|
Americans are. We wouldn't even know. It all comes down to this:
|
|
The government should not be allowed to control us like they are. If
|
|
we let them, we will become puppets to them, and we will not have
|
|
minds of our own. Who knows we might end up with another Civil War on
|
|
our hands. And that would be truly devestating.

/\/\eet The Toxins - "Verbosity From Hell"
|
|
|
|
This time you are unfortunate enough to get to Meet the one who kicked
|
|
off the group with a parody of that famous Holy-shit!-Book...The Bible...
|
|
His accomplishments are too few to mention, his reputation virtually non
|
|
existent among those who matter, his thoughts and attitudes shared by almost
|
|
none, the guy who designed the traditional logo, the one who has plans for
|
|
bumper stickers and tee shirts, the one and the only
|
|
|
|
Bloody Afterbirth...interviewer interviewee extraordinaire.
|
|
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
So, let's start off with some physical shit, BA..What do you look like?
|
|
I'm 5' 11", 235 pounds...Got a large frame and quite a bit of muscle...
|
|
also got 35 pounds of pure raw FAT loading me down right now...Got somewhat
|
|
lengthy dark brown hair, eyes that change color (grey/blue/yellow/green)
|
|
depending upon my mood. Sept 11 '71 was the day the end of the world began,
|
|
and to celebrate my 19th birthday I'm going to get more fucked up than this
|
|
country is.
|
|
Alright! So, how and why did you come up with Bloody Afterbirth?
|
|
Well..Fetal Juice came up with the name for the group..and since it was
|
|
disgusting and off the wall, I thought of the most disgusting and off the
|
|
wall handle I could possibly use...and you see me with it.
|
|
When did you first start working with computers and telecom?
|
|
When I was 9 I got a Commodore Vic-20 because I was curious and it was
|
|
cheap. I still remember calling Compuserve with a 300 baud modem and a 22
|
|
column screen... That was back in 1980. I didn't actually hack anything
|
|
until 1984 because I was a fuckhead. I didn't even know what Phreaking was
|
|
until that same year because I was a fuckhead. The regular little school
|
|
and computer nerd was what my fat little ass was. I didn't do anything
|
|
illegal at all. Breaking any rule was like a fucking sin or something...
|
|
But just before 9th grade started, I began looking at where I was heading
|
|
and what kind of shit society was becoming, and the rebellion started... Got
|
|
my first unintentional Fs that year because this teacher thought she was
|
|
right and I knew I was right... About that time Cronus began explaining
|
|
some things to me about the real modem society.
|
|
What do you think of TODAY'S society?
|
|
It's fucked.
|
|
Care to elaborate?
|
|
Not really. Anybody with any intelligence can see what's happened to
|
|
this country. Every level of society is royally fucked. The people who
|
|
were floating across the nation in the early- to mid-80s were the kind of
|
|
people that belong on computers. Thank the Commodore 64, games, desktop
|
|
environments, mice, and movies like Wargames for fucking up the important
|
|
Society.
|
|
Well, enough about this shit. What are your hobbies?
|
|
Reading, writing, programming, pissing people off...
|
|
Not very social, are you?
|
|
I can be, but why hang around a bunch of mindless fucks? I prefer small
|
|
groups of people I can trust...
|
|
You mentioned programming. What can you tell me about programming?
|
|
I can tell you that you sound just like Eliza. Assembly Language is the
|
|
only language for me. I have worked with several BASICs, and the only one I
|
|
liked was the Commie 64 basic. It's non-existent graphics commands were
|
|
kinda hard to use, but the basic was very in-your-face. I've worked with a
|
|
few high level langs, mainly for college, but the only one I will consider
|
|
using on my own would be C...And that is not something I want to do, either,
|
|
but everything out there for the Amiga is C, and I'm hurting myself by not
|
|
learning it.
|
|
Why do you like assembly language so much?
|
|
The power...simply the power. You tell it EXACTLY what you want it to
|
|
do. There's none of this "PRINT `FUCK SATAN!'" shit that any little loser
|
|
can do. You HAVE to know your system, you HAVE to love your machine. It is
|
|
the meanest language there is. You fuck up just a little bit and the whole
|
|
thing goes bonkers. I have lost much hair thanks to assembly. I love it.
|
|
I think there is something else you want to say about it. You are
|
|
holding something inside, Bloody, I can tell. You can tell us.
|
|
I obviously don't like desktop environments, a mouse, game players, or
|
|
anything else that normally signifies a non-serious user. (There are people
|
|
I respect who use shittop environments and mice, but they are a minority)
|
|
It boils down to the seriousness. I don't think a non-serious user needs a
|
|
machine. They can play a Nintendo if they want to spend their time with
|
|
fucking games. And anybody can program a high level lang (well, MOST HLLs).
|
|
Where is the challenge in speaking English? Assembly language and non-desk
|
|
top environments and having-to-use-the-keyboard-by-TYPING scare away the
|
|
lazy fucks who don't want to get serious about their machines. I'm not much
|
|
into computer hobbyists. Either you use it, or lose it. Nobody USES their
|
|
machines anymore.. Anybody can play a game. But how many people can write
|
|
a good BBS? In assembly language?
|
|
Zzzzzz...huh? Oh, yeah. Ok. What systems have you owned and why?
|
|
The Vic-20 I explained. I got the Commie 64 when it came out, but I did
|
|
look around at all the other systems. It was the best machine for me at the
|
|
time. It's capabilities were exactly what I needed. I still think it is
|
|
the best 8 bit around. Then I got the Commie 128 because I thought it was a
|
|
keen thing to do at the time. Everybody makes mistakes. The only thing I
|
|
used the 128 for was the built in monitor, which sucked. I've got an Amiga
|
|
2000 right now...It sure as hell wasn't because of price or because of any
|
|
loyalty to the manufacturer. Up until the latest management got put in, the
|
|
worst thing about Commodore Amiga was Commodore. I am working on a way to
|
|
get a 3000, legally, now. The Amiga has the most potential of any system
|
|
out there right now. It may have been caught by the other companies, but
|
|
it can take the personal computer market and a sizable portion of the
|
|
professional markets if Commiedork would develop it...and I think they will.
|
|
You wouldn't like motorcycles, would you?
|
|
Why gosh, how'd you know? They're the best things on the road..they're
|
|
the "kickin'est, happenin'est, thaxedtothemaxed'est" thing on wheels.
|
|
I like the traditional style (Harley's best, of course) over the funky
|
|
Japanese/European racing styles, but hey, I melt when I look at a Ninja...
|
|
What are your political views?
|
|
Governments suck. There is no government like no government...
|
|
Actually, I think a VERY limited central government would be ok. I really
|
|
wish that the country that "spreads the cause of democracy" was a true
|
|
democracy itself. America sucks, quite simply put.
|
|
Why?
|
|
It is a corporate and political monster, just like the rest of them.
|
|
This country spawns greed and laziness, lies and corruption, oppression.
|
|
The Big Brothers need their asses kicked.
|
|
What is your least favorite Big Brother?
|
|
Probably the Telco systems, as far as treatment of people is concerned.
|
|
Geez, the fucking service they provide could be almost FREE if they weren't
|
|
so damned concerned about money. Things like Starlink provide $1.50/hr
|
|
service. You expect me to believe that THEY can do that and make a profit,
|
|
but the Telco can't? Give me a break. If they cut the costs, the usage
|
|
would go up. A lot of little money usually comes out to be more than a
|
|
little big money. Everybody can afford $1.50 to make an hour's call...
|
|
It's like gas money or something..pocket change. Everybody could use the
|
|
phone... Not that I think we should have to pay for it at all, but people
|
|
do need to eat. (I'd love a moneyless society, but this is Amerika!)
|
|
Reasonable prices would rid the world of the major need for phreaking.
|
|
They should consider that instead of trying to wipe Phreakers out. Most of
|
|
them, I'm sorry to say, do it just to beat the costs, not to learn new
|
|
loopholes and shit.
|
|
What do you think about the Drug War?
|
|
We should fight back.
|
|
We?
|
|
I'm not into heavy drugs...but that's me, not someone else. Legalize all
|
|
of them and quit trying to run people's lives. Make people take a course
|
|
and a test on the effects of the drug, the REAL effects, before they buy it.
|
|
Tell people exactly what cocaine will do to them before they snort it, and
|
|
it will scare away a lot of people. Take away the illegalities and it won't
|
|
be used because it's "cool" anymore. Heavy drug use would go down, and safe
|
|
things like marijuana would be used more and more. Hell, legalize all the
|
|
drugs, and the government could check the purity. More jobs. They would
|
|
man the education-before-trying 'centers'. More jobs. They could set up
|
|
rehab centers for anyone who got in over their head. More jobs. They could
|
|
tax the drugs instead of spending money on wiping them out. More revenue.
|
|
People would do drugs for the experience and not because of that peer
|
|
pressure shit that conformists fall prey to. More mature citizens. Lower
|
|
the age limits on the shit. Quicker maturity and more responsibility
|
|
developing in the people. I won't go on.
|
|
You should be president.
|
|
Why, so I can get paid to lie? The president's a figurehead. I'd rather
|
|
be head of the CIA. That's where the power is. Or a bank president. Then
|
|
you exercise control of everything... The Computer Underground, or what
|
|
USED to be the CU, could, if united, take control of this country. There is
|
|
too much reliability on very insecure computers. If a few bytes at the bank
|
|
get nulled, you just lost several thousand dollars. I can see Sprint going
|
|
bankrupt because of something like that. That would amuse me.
|
|
So, what are your musical tastes?
|
|
Pffffft...I love Classical music, because it is, all around, better than
|
|
anything for setting a mood, like for writing. I like ROCK. Not the shit
|
|
they play today and CALL rock. I mean the 60s and 70s...like Bob Seger...
|
|
Ozzy Sabbath...Jimi Hendrix... I am quite fond of heavy/death metal,
|
|
especially when either the music has a very nice rhythm, or the lyrics are
|
|
about something besides getting laid on a saturday night. Fuck the posers.
|
|
I like folk music, especially Irish and Scottish. I like punk/thrash/speed
|
|
metal, but I don't listen to it much.. Most of it sounds just alike, but
|
|
every once in awhile you hear something good. I like some of the new wave,
|
|
post modern, whatever the fuck, stuff, like Voivod. They are a good group.
|
|
What other modern groups do you like?
|
|
Danzig, Slayer, Medadeth, Metallica, Ozzy, Roger Waters (Floyd sucks
|
|
without him), King Diamond...
|
|
What type of books do you read?
|
|
Mainly fantasy, but science fiction has caught my eye... I also like the
|
|
science-fiction/fantasy mixing that a lot of people have been doing.
|
|
Have any favorite authors, in any genre?
|
|
Piers Anthony, Roger Zelazny, Harlan Ellison, Robert Jordan, L. Ron
|
|
Hubbard, J.R.R. Tolkien (no shit), Isaac Asimov, Robert Asprin, Douglas
|
|
Adams, Anne McCaffrey, Marion Zimmer Bradley, Dick Sutphen, Richard Bach,
|
|
Andrew J. Offut...I can go on if you like.
|
|
No, that's alright. Who are your idols?
|
|
I have none. I have respect for a few people, DEEP respect for a very
|
|
few people, but I idolize noone. Someone may be better than I at something,
|
|
but I can match them if I truly want to. I think anybody can do anything,
|
|
so that's not really as egotistical as it sounds. If there is anyone in the
|
|
Society that I would come close to idolizing, it would be one of the people
|
|
that make it into a Phrack profile. The main one that comes to mind is The
|
|
Mentor, but that's mainly for writing The Hacker's Manifesto. That was the
|
|
best thing I have ever read. It brought a tear to my eye.
|
|
You mentioned Dick Sutphen and Richard Bach, two well known metaphysical
|
|
types. Are you interested in that sort of thing, and if so, why?
|
|
Yes. I've had an interest in the occult ever since I saw a deck of Tarot
|
|
cards...which also was about the time I got my Vic-20. As far as why... I
|
|
am open minded, and I have experienced enough to know that the "paranormal"
|
|
truly exists. Besides, for religious reasons, I almost have to be
|
|
interested in such things.
|
|
What does that mean?
|
|
I'm Wiccan (a Witch)... What they call metaphysical or occult is pretty
|
|
much standard and general knowledge with Wicca. It'd be kind of like a
|
|
Ceremonial Magician who isn't interested in magick if I wasn't interested in
|
|
the 'metaphysical'.
|
|
Why are you in Toxic Shock?
|
|
Something to do at the time.
|
|
That's not true, is it?
|
|
Ok...I want to be a writer, and I use the group to hone some of my
|
|
abilities. I concentrate on something in a file (and it may not be obvious
|
|
to outsiders that I'm doing this, heh heh) for practice. What I write for
|
|
the group and what I would write professionally are a little different... I
|
|
also think we could have a good following if we'd get off our asses and get
|
|
in people's faces. I want a group that can herald a returning Golden Age in
|
|
groups. I want a group like a group USED to be. Toxic Shock is the only
|
|
such group in existence that I know of that has the potential for doing just
|
|
that, other than something else I'm working with on the side.
|
|
Oh, so you don't consider cDc to be a real group?
|
|
Whoa there asshole, I didn't say that... I like the group. I admit, I
|
|
like the MEMBERS of the group that I've talked to a lot more than I like the
|
|
majority of the files they've put out recently...but I do like them. I know
|
|
people who haven't touched a computer in 3 years who never ever called off
|
|
of a local shit board called "Okie Bug" who have heard of the Cult. That is
|
|
what is known as a reputation.
|
|
But, as a group, how do you REALLY feel about them?
|
|
Their tastes and mine as to what a group should be are probably
|
|
different.
|
|
You are avoiding the issue.
|
|
You should know. I respect a lot of what they do from the perspective of
|
|
a writer. Some of their stories are most excellent. I like the majority of
|
|
their attitudes. But from the perspective of what I think a group should
|
|
do, no, I don't particularly care for them any more.
|
|
Don't you think that you are really fucking up by saying that?
|
|
I also do not particularly care for what Toxic Shock was doing and
|
|
probably will continue to do, though in lesser form. As far as writing
|
|
goes, I love the cDc. I even actually like much of what we wrote...as far
|
|
as writing goes. But we were really not doing what I think a group should
|
|
do. I say that about the group I belong to, so I think I have every right
|
|
to say it about another group, too. As I said...our tastes are different.
|
|
The Cult does what it does. It is an entirely different group that exists
|
|
for entirely different reasons.
|
|
Aren't you afraid that this profile of you has gotten to be excessively
|
|
lengthy?
|
|
If anyone is still reading it, then they like what they're reading.
|
|
So, Bloody Afterbirth, what other handles have you used?
|
|
As I said earlier, I was a fuckhead. Fuckheads go through handles. I
|
|
have gone through more handles than anyone I know. I quit changing handles
|
|
so much about 4 years ago. Two handles still stick with me, but what they
|
|
are and what my prior ones were is not important. Bloody Afterbirth is the
|
|
one I am pushing publicly. That suits me fine.
|
|
What do you think of Kate Bush?
|
|
Oh, that screeching bitch with a voice only a rusty iron gate swinging in
|
|
the wind could love?
|
|
Heh heh heh. Where do you think Toxic Shock is headed?
|
|
If I have my way, it is going to be one of the best groups in the
|
|
country. If I don't have my way, I will move on to another group.
|
|
You don't sound like you have much group loyalty.
|
|
I will work with any group if I like their attitude. I'm a free agent.
|
|
Is that an open invitation for the groups of the world?
|
|
Not really. I know of only two currently active groups that I would
|
|
consider working with. But then, my knowledge of who is out there isn't
|
|
what it used to be. That situation is being corrected.
|
|
Who are those groups?
|
|
None of my business.
|
|
Well Bloody...I think this just about wraps this up. I can't think of
|
|
anything else to ask you that noone will want to hear. Are you sure you
|
|
want to release this profile of yourself?
|
|
Those who see the answer to that question are either severely
|
|
masochistic, or enjoyed hearing me talk to myself.
|
|
|
|
Hope it enlightened you.
|
|
|
|
And now for some generic stuff.
