DEAR FRIENDS on alt.slack,
|
|
|
|
I get some interesting email sometimes, and for weeks I've been saving it
|
|
up to dump into alt.slack. Why I didn't just dump it immediately, I can't
|
|
say. Maybe I was thinking of doing intros for these things. And maybe I
|
|
will. All I know is, I'm so tanked and tranked from codeine following my
|
|
car wreck that I'm incapable of doing anything original, so I've got
|
|
nothing better to do than sit here, zombie-like, reformatting this email
|
|
stuff and posting it to Y'ALL. FINALLY.

|
|
|
This particular one wasn't emailed... it's a leftover from an old FIST, a
|
|
piece that never got printed.
|
|
|
|
Did it?
|
|
*****
|
|
|
|
This rather disturbing document was sent to The SubGenius Foundation
|
|
anonymously. That is, the folks at Conspiracies Unlimited mailed us a
|
|
photocopy of a much longer pamphlet -- of which this is only a short
|
|
excerpt -- but they themselves have no idea who actually wrote it, nor
|
|
from whence it originates geographically. It does bear a striking
|
|
stylistic similarity to hate literature from The World Power Foundation,
|
|
one of the most ruthless secret societies in existence -- all the more
|
|
frightening because no one seems to be able to locate their headquarters
|
|
nor even any admitted members.
|
|
|
|
This is not, I repeat, not written by any known associates of the
|
|
SubGenius Church. While "Belarion" (whether as a real individual, or as a
|
|
group metaphor) does obviously share many sentiments with us, I am
|
|
personally tempted to say that this "goes just a wee bit too far." For one
|
|
thing, there is no mention of "Bob" Dobbs whatsoever. That9s probably the
|
|
worst aspect. A less objectionable element is the glorification of war and
|
|
brutality over Slack. Otherwise -- aside from those two objections -- they
|
|
seem pretty cool. I mean, at least they aren9t racists or anything. They
|
|
just hate humans. Nothing wrong with that! But... "AntiChrist"? That9s
|
|
rather an ambitious claim! Technically, that makes Dobbs the AntiBelarion,
|
|
which doesn't really make sense. Dobbs never said he was one of the Jesii,
|
|
but he has repeatedly proclaimed himself the AntiAntiChrist.
|
|
|
|
Furthermore, one gets the distinct impression that, were there ever to be
|
|
an inter-cult war between Belarionites and SubGeniuses, the Belarionites
|
|
would probably beat the living shit out of us. No doubt they (like the
|
|
Hare Krishnas) already have many caches of arms and ammo, whereas those
|
|
few of us who even own guns probably used up our last purchase of bullets
|
|
shooting at beer cans. They could easily ambush us all as we drive to gun
|
|
shops trying to restock.

BELARION THE ANTICHRIST
|
|
|
|
PART ONE
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I AM HERE!
|
|
Hail my birth,
|
|
welcome my presence,
|
|
praise my evil power.
|
|
I AM HERE!
|
|
Join my wavelength,
|
|
spread my writing,
|
|
listen for my call.
|
|
I AM HERE!
|
|
To crush Christianity,
|
|
to eradicate human hope.
|
|
I AM HERE!
|
|
To drive out utopias,
|
|
to cancel all reform.
|
|
I AM HERE!
|
|
To bring bad news for man,
|
|
to kill the Prince of Peace,
|
|
to start the era of pure power.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
PART TWO
|
|
|
|
WHO IS BELARION?
|
|
|
|
I am the enemy of good.
|
|
I am the foe of forgiveness.
|
|
I am the Prince of Darkness.
|
|
I am the father of black oaths.
|
|
|
|
I am god for all wolves--
|
|
I am scourge for all shepherds.
|
|
I feed on desperation, I smile at human injury.
|
|
My venom is death, I eat bodies and souls.
|
|
|
|
I am St. Peter for the strong.
|
|
I welcome villains beyond the grave.
|
|
I praise them for slavery and aggression,
|
|
I punish them for sentimental kindness.
|
|
|
|
I heal nothing! I want breakdowns!
|
|
I rid the world of mediocrities.
|
|
I am too strong for atheism,
|
|
and too violent for magic.
|
|
To worship me is to worship fire.
|
|
I never forgive; I rarely forget.
|
|
My message is simple:
|
|
-- This is what I am.
|
|
-- This is what I can do to you.
|
|
|
|
I, Belarion, am here to save the world --
|
|
but from saviors!
|
|
I, Belarion, am here to deliver the world --
|
|
but from deliverance!
|
|
I am proud to be wicked.
|
|
I am proud to be fierce.
|
|
I am proud to be cruel.
|
|
|
|
I am the fire of Satan,
|
|
the majesty of Wotan,
|
|
and the ruthless ambition of Genghis Khan.
|
|
|
|
I am the hidden god of Aleister Crowley.
|
|
"Do what you will is the whole of the law."
|
|
As it is!
|
|
I do what I will --
|
|
others are done to.
|
|
I enjoy truth --
|
|
others endure it.
|
|
My heaven is their hell,
|
|
my delights are their fears.
|
|
They are my meat, I am their poison.
|
|
|
|
Is Belarion God?
|
|
No -- nor can I be.
|
|
I am only one aspect of God.
|
|
I am the eternal warring impulse in man.
|
|
I am a specialist; I want killing.
|
|
I am known for spiritual savagery.
|
|
|
|
Is Belarion fair?
|
|
Never in a million years!
|
|
I do not debate with other religions,
|
|
it would be like a tiger debating with his prey.
|
|
Instead I wait to profit from their inevitable sacrifice.
|
|
|
|
I despise the word of Christ.
|
|
His light is a pallid darkness,
|
|
His morality is a jail.
|
|
His virtues are spineless,
|
|
and reek of a slave-morality.
|
|
Against them I put pride, lust, greed, and revenge.
|
|
|
|
Is this stark? It is life!
|
|
And is only horrible if you lose.
|
|
|
|

PART THREE
|
|
|
|
BELARION9S COMMANDMENTS
|
|
|
|
Commandment Number One:
|
|
|
|
Hunt and kill.
|
|
|
|
The world is yours -- for plundering!
|
|
Kill the sick, bury the dead, punish your slaves.
|
|
|
|
Always conquer -- never atone.
|
|
Break your victims, then consume them.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Commandment Number Two:
|
|
|
|
Trust in your will.
|
|
|
|
Feel no guilt for your instincts --
|
|
only shame, for occasional mistakes.
|
|
|
|
If you want to be great, you cannot be good.
|
|
If you need to be feared, you may not be loved.
|
|
|
|
My law is ancient, unforgiving,
|
|
it is black, and it is mine.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Commandment Number Three:
|
|
|
|
Be happy in power.
|
|
|
|
Joy comes from killing;
|
|
despair from being killed.
|
|
|
|
Consciousness means consciousness of power.
|
|
Peace means pleasure, and is weakened when shared.
|
|
|
|
You are placed on a road to greatness.
|
|
Do not ask where it leads -- take it.
|
|
I will sustain you.
|
