   "To devastate by language, to blow up the word and with it the world." E.M. Cioran


   Shit...I wish. Is it only me, or has the whole world lost it's fricking mind? Break downs, break ins, break ups, conniptions, heat sickness. Every time I pick up the phone, read an email, run into someone on the street,  another mind numbing catastrophe is related which attempts to blot out my hard fought sanity. Right... like I'm supposed to be the sane one.

   Maybe not, but I still have a desperate need to try to make sense of this bullshit.


   Maybe our individual personal torment is just a reflection of History's madness. All suffering is about the imbalance of power. And who, when confronted with the blatant insanity that is passed off as the norm everyday, isn't feeling their power, their vitality, their life force being sucked on by the vipers who grin like monkeys from the idiot box while spewing their mind-fucking doublespeak proclaiming progress and victory when the facts scream out in complete opposition.


   Each and every day the arrogant behavior of the greedy brutarians in the US Government  are responsible for the soul murder of over 2 million American prisoners (and uncounted foreign 'suspects' in suspended animation in their highly illegal secret prisons), the enslavement of 47 million mostly hard working people still living below the poverty level trying to make ends meet on minimum wage, the ridiculous expenditure and extravagant waste of taxpayers dollars to fund outlandish wars fought in the name of democracy and freedom, right, like anyone voted on that...


   Yeah I take this shit personal.


   Consider the thought of re-incarnation as the ability to dissect the secret history inherent in our genetic coding and the many atrocities which have polluted our bloodlines. Contemplate suffering from an acute awareness. an oversensitivity to geography and the army of ghosts that litter the landscape who have given their lives, leeched of blood by the whims of soul suckers who denigrate life by celebrating death. Pretend that every step you take, every stairwell, room, street, has absorbed the lives, deaths, loves,  fears, arguments and heartbreaks of everyone and everything that has come before you and your job is to give voice to this nightmare. If it sounds melodramatic to you, it murders me on a minute to minute basis. So yeah...it's that personal to me.


   Everyday is either the anniversary of another horrible tragedy, or it's a celebration that we survived to thrive and spite the odds yet again. So laugh a little, cry a little, die a little and live to be reborn daily.


   Today I celebrate the release of  Deviations on a Theme : a 64 track enhanced CD deluxe presentation which spans nearly 3 decades of independent art terrorism, the goal of which has always been to give voice and a shot of adrenaline to those who stubbornly refuse to go quietly into the long dark night of mankind's perpetual spiral.

EVERYTHING IS RIDICULOUS! AND EVERYONE FEELS IT. THATS THE ONLY THING THAT GETS ME TO HAVE HOPE NOW- IS THE HOPE OF PEOPLE'S INNER KNOWING AND VOICES CUTTING THROUGH THE "RATIONAL/MENTAL" PARTY LINE...EVERYTHING MUST CHANGE AND ALTHOUGH PEOPLE ARE SCARED, THEY WILL EVENTUALLY TAKE THE LEAP INSTEAD OF SITTING IN THE BOILING POT.........LIVING BY YOUR SENSE OF SPIRIT IS BECOMING MORE OF A NECCECITY IN ORDER TO "MAKE SENSE?" OF WHAT IS GOING ON. IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE SO THE BEST OUTCOME IS LEARNING AND GROWING FROM IT ALL, AND KNOWING THAT IT IS ALL HERE TO HELP US MOVE TO THE NEXT LEVEL. WE MUST ATTACK WITH LOVE!
CONGATULATIONS ON YOUR MASSIVE VOLUME OF WORK, AND LIKE I SAID WHEN I MET YOU IN LA, " YOU ARE ALWAYS REPRESENTATIVE OF THE WARRIOR SPIRIT IN EVERYTHING THAT YOU DO!"

That's some serious straight-talk. I hate the fact that I missed your gig in Antwerp last weekend. Take care, Darling Britney

i agree with you and i understand the rage, cuz i walked around pissed off & preaching it for years of my life, until i couldn't take it anymore - the apathetic responses, the snickering, & my life was so much about defiance of the anticipated smirks & sneering that i lived to offend the average person in hopes that my physical statement (&words & beliefs) would somehow pierce through all the fakery that average people perceive as reality & maybe MAYBE an angel, a living prayer, would pierce through the smoke screen of daily mediocrity & reach out their hand & say yes! i'm with you sister. i lived this until i was the only one swallowing my own hatred of the establishment, & until i was swallowed by the hatred & decided that it'd go down alot nicer with a shot of heroin, or a hit of crack, or alcohol, or weed, or anything else i could(can) get my hands on to numb the painful sludge-treading reality that is daily existence - candyland to someone living in africa or haiti or iraq, but hell to me. AND THEN... then i decided that it is quite possible that this is how they win.. by me living in miserable awareness of the power they do have & the fact that my voice is just one high pitched scream out of millions in a melting pot of corporate dick war money pussy power fuck radio-active sludge..and more importantly what i want to know yr response to...that it might be more of a victory (for me & ones like me) if, since we can't overpower them anyway, i (we) just live our lives like ee cummings, escaping the ugliness that "they" have made our reality - by going inward & focusing on the beautiful daydream landscapes that are living on life support in my mind....playing in forests, going to beaches, having fucking faery dances, promoting freedom of the soul by pretending they don't exist, instead of being miserable always keenly aware of "their" hold over a society of fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters, grandma's, neighbors, who's only "freedom" exist in t.v., zanax, & painkillers after a long day of work.. why succumb to this?

Fucking right on sister! What amazes me is that I'm rapidly coming to the conclusion that the vast majority of human beings are kind, considerate, caring, down-to-earth, honest types who invariably take the rap for the crimes of a teeny tiny minority of political sociopaths who believe their own lies. This lying is part of what Wilhelm Reich would have described as a social disease. So called ordinary folk emulate this condition because, in order to get by in a system rigged in favour of deciet, they have no choice. The last place you'll find the truth is in a courtroom. If I'd have told the truth about my identity as an anarchist in any kind of detail any of the times I've been in court the fuckers would've thrown away the key. I learnt this trick in school. Don't, under any circumstances own up to anything. We all learn it as a godamn paradigm from an early age & it is the main flaw in human society as we understand it today. It's like we don't have a choice. We are controlled by mind-games & our only method of psychic defence is to play mind-games back.
The cunts dress up their various religions as a quest for the truth. Ha fucking ha. Religion is a lie in the first place so that's not only a red herring it's a bleeding non-starter!
As for the idiot's lantern we call TV.... well that's undergoing a transformation. Pirate TV is on the way in & millions have learnt the trade inadvertently through their addiction to mainstream media going back to the early sixties. I don't have to go to film school in an official capacity. I've been living it for 40 fucking years!
With the internet the genie's out of the bottle & that ratfuck Murdoch is a dying breed. Let him & that pseud Branson squabble over their satellite controlled empires. Nobody gives a shit. They've all got phones that film & all our mates across countless run-down London council estates would rather watch each other's mobile phone film footage rather than some sorry-arse like Mel Gibson pontificating about subjects he knows nothing about.
This is genuinely the first time I've replied to any kind of message board on the internet. Me & the missis have only had broadband for a matter of weeks now so we're newbies.
As a crowd of anti-capitalist working class hooligans we've always found your material a laugh but I have to say your declaration of discontent above is the major bollocks! It sums it all up. Would I assasinate Tony Blair if the little cunt crossed my path? Well, apart from having a grudging respect for Hassan I Sabbah & The Hashasheen, I think me mates'd have to pull me off our ex-Prime Minister fucking quickly before I ate him.... & I'm a vegetarian. I have a four year old Anglo-Arabic-Asian-Irish daughter {Lilith} & a son on the way. You should see the looks my Indian Punk partner & I get on the London transport system sometimes.
Mind-numbing catastrophe? No. I have none to relate. No one dares say a fucking word to us in the street. By default we have ended up the darlings of every liberal trying to salve their conscience by bying fair-trade & we have ended up the bane of right-wing rhetoric because we're so god-damn approachable & godamn pleasant. This seems to fly in the face of every stereotype the neoconservative scum are trying to perpetuate at the moment.
We did a life-swap with one of the richest families in Britain a couple of years ago. It was banned by ITVPLC who own the rights. Unsurprisingly it's available on the web {back to what I was saying about Pirate TV}. Honest guv I had nothing to do with it.... much!
If you go to our website www.highpanch.org.uk & visit the section art & books you'll find a link to the site that has made this amazing TV experiment available.
Have fun & DON'T LET THE BASTARDS GRIND YOU DOWN!
Love Craig.

Well said, ma'am. I don't know if its the link between all living things but I do feel the void caused by all this pain for profit. I can hardly enjoy music in certain moments because of what they're doing to us. I used to think it is human nature to be indifferent, greedy, corrupt, sadistic and decietful, but it is NOT! Its the bloody tube and marketing trends and pop culture that has brainwashed everybody into thinking this is perfectly natural because people are so and so. But they are NOT so and so. Most people want the same thing everybody else wants, and that is to live in peace with their loved ones. I used to detest human beings for their fragility and negation but since I found out how my siblings have been damaged, humiliated, confused, insulted and blamed for everything that's been done to them, I pity them, for their own thoughts don't even belong to them anymore. It's the same small group of people attacking and perverting everything that's good. Music, Art, Litrerature, Education, Film, Fashion, Culture, Language... everything has been jacked by these people. And all golden turns to shit. Why? So that we become the dumb beasts of burned they so wish, chipped, numbered and checked.

Who are these people The CFR, of course, headed by the Rockerfellers and the Morgans (in the US) and their other fronts the UN, IMF and the World Bank. All your income tax money goes to them, since they stole all the federal gold and started printing the money themselves and SELLING it to the US goverment. Now, after Hilary Clinton wins the election, some shit is gonna happen, and, since there is the illusion of a new administration, the people's tolerance level for government 'sloppiness' such as the Iraq war would have gone back to normal, some other funny shit will happen and you'll probably get marshal law.

But, when the MPs come for my urine sample I will not comply. And, no, I will not fight fear and violence with love. I don't know how. But I have teeth, and claws, and knives, and guns and all the anger I need to say NO the only way they understand. Because I am a human being, and the ones doing this to me are human beings, not gods and not aliens. And I'd be dead long before I serve low soulless inbred scum such as internationalist bankers, twisted fucks who can't get a hard-on if someone isn't suffering or dying by their hands.fucks who can't get a hard-on if someone isn't suffering or dying by their hands.
