' This is Radio Neupop Calling...
When they turned their
backs on their simple homes
it was a case of not getting on with their neighbours
and they had to travel ever further migrating to the places that hang suspened
in the etheric records like snowdrops beneath lava flows, like beaches coverd
in concrete. Take every act and reverse it, then see what life is all about.
The film is rerun and paper flowers fall from the skies over Vietnam as American
mothers fuck for freedom rubbing up against their padded furniture and the words
of Nova Express relate to the slow movement of a harnessed plough horse. The
native returns, the buffalo spring to life and from the hills of South Dakota
come streams of chanting indigenous americans the ghosts of the days that might
have been, the ferris wheel in one last rotation over Vienna like the sephiroth
of a tarot card dim in the moonlight reflected in a river in Surrey somewhere
in memory like a dream, the lost toy of childhood rots with the carcasses of
dead cattle where no Hindu ever prayed and the radio voices boom in echo over
the painted hills of children's stories like the extinct butterflies of modified
flesh old and withered as a child with the aging sickness the envisioned future
of the 21st century vomiting into the sewage of alcohol and nembutal, head cracked
on the concrete steps the foam of blood and sea and the radio calls forth one
last feminist image, commodities open fire, toy soldiers illuminated at noon
as the light of atom bombs burst forth from the cathode tubes of millions on
T.V. sets. The players are all dead and the playing fields are empty.
When they returned to simple skills
the old walls were restored with stones and mortar and chicken pecked the yards
of villages across the pathways quaint and narrow. The fox hunts for rabbits
dressed in a red coat and it seems to be saying something from an old cartoon
from a Tom and Jerry routine. The jibbering idiots who said they owned the land
have had to tend it and they rise at dawn in the cold winds determined to prove
themselves at the wheel of reality. The trees have weird faces at the wee burn's
edge as Scots huddle round their fires. When they burned the crofters cottages
they etched their crimes in branded rock which will blow through their souls
like fire, they will not see the colours of the wind until their deeds unfold
(our synasthetic vision is limited by our deeds).
Let me show you a translucent
wing in sunlight and the steasdy flow of paint onto canvas smoothed by artistic
skill into the dead eyes of superstars seeing from who knows what etheric spheres.
The angel's wings are fading and her nose has a smudge of power and all this
is painted like the dawn of myriad suns by the goddess Kali over and over again
in the great days of Brahman. The hungry fox barks in the night. Give it an
egg sandwich to redeem human cruelty. Run till the toxic muscles fail from lack
of oxygen saturated in lactic acid and run from the cold eyes of objective hatred
and the adrenalin boost of insane psychopaths employed by the C.I.A. and their
neo-fascist allies, run comrade fox. And the ants too one further evolutionary
step on their way to becoming human as the human's develop an exoskeleton.
'Is that so Don Jaun?'
'Indeed so Carlito.'
Do you question everything you read? Adam's rib, Noah's ark. 'Back to Methusala',
the second world war, Geronimo.
'Did I really fly in my body Don Juan? Or was it a form of spirit projection
also known as astral projection?'
A stranger staggers forward. Who can say what is seen or heard. Some reported
events witnessed only by themselves, that they had 'hallucinated'.
'Did I really jump from that precipice Don Juan?'
[There have been some unexplained cases of probable levitiation.]
'How substantial is the double Don Juan?'
At times the fourth dimension appears tangible and thoughts can be transferred
if not actually spoken.
'Did the sisters really fly Don Juan?'
Merely a case of astral projection. We have no proof of witches flying.
'Don Juan did we pass through a wall?'
Again astral activity is an explanation.
'Do the entities have physical properties like you and I Don Juan?'
As previously stated some claim sensations in the fourth dimension.
'Do only people with
double barreled aura stand a chance?'
There are many who claim to see spirits, so exclusivity is a myth.
Do you question the notions of mythology or accept them verbatim? The numerology
of 'Revelations' is mythology Dr. Paisley. Is there a hideous insect hell? As
real as daylight Eddie, yet for how long is the torment I am not privileged
to say. One second in limbo can shake you to the very core!
'Did I really 'see' Don Juan.'
'You saw everything Carlos.'
I found myself standing in the kitchen when my body was still in bed. Objective
or subjective?
Difficult to tell. Did I raise myself off the floor by mind alone? This has
happened and is close to levitation. Did I enter the trees energy field in my
spirit body my double? Others have recorded this phenomenon.
'You are learning Carlos, but there is more, much more, infinity and eternity
in every direction.'
And some see Shiva and Kali in emblems of light and sound.
Archetypes comrade, archetypes.
May your visions be as sublime as blossoms in spring.
'If only.'
With ethereal welfare to come..... so...
....take your smack back Mac......
(From 'The Samizdat Republic' copyright Andy Anderson 2000)
Commodities open fire at noon in
pools of biro ink, rank smelling to the slow movement of neo-fascist toxic muscles.
And the ants took their way to becoming exoskeletal. Translucent wing in flow
of paint onto canvas into the dead eyes painted like a dawn. They etched their
crimes in the colours of the wind. Painted butterflies, crowded sets, dicontinuity
curves. The film is rerun beneath lava flows the sewage of alcohol the lost
archeology of South Dakota, illuminated toys call forth radio contrete as the
light of atoms. The playing fields are empty in the roar of operas and the ultra
heat of wasted fuel. Tubes of millions melt together like beaches of butterflies
one last Vienna like extinct stories of childrens books in the noon of geiger
counters, the old walls against their padded furniture. America rubbing up against
its paleo-fascist allies witherd as the ageing sickness in the moonlight smudge
of infinity. A shroud of darkness upon this broken wheel, so let the light of
Kali in, the serene compassion of Kali, where false thugee priests of the world's
religions condone their weopons of mass destruction.
'Do have a seat'
Mills awkwardly placed himself on the office chair and glanced around a cold
grey interior of the ministry.
[So what exactly do you know about the current situation?]
Marxism-Leninism was no longer a threat to the ideology of the government. Mills
could think of no reason for this interview. He assumed his presumed apathy
could be the cause. Apathy was a disease in the eyes of the bureaucracy but
Mills knew the sociological reason for apathy though this knowledge wouldn't
help him.
Your name is Lucien John Mills and you have been unemployed for five years.
That's right.
We can offer you a place on a preparation course. If you refuse this final offer
we will be obliged to cut your benefits to the legal minimum.
Mills hesitated but only for a moment. He accepted the offer because he knew
it would be a further opportunity to spread dissent. You could only be induced
to work in his situation by compulsion. The cultural aspects of work for him
were non-existant the purpose virtually meaningless and yet Mills knew the true
value of labour. An organically grown vegetable meant more to Mills than a diamond
ring. There is no work of art worth more than a cabbage was his method of spreading
subversion by reiterating this self evident truth. Cabbages are kings albeit
androgenous. He was dangerous but only as a fool is dangerous and therefore
he was politically ignored. He would not tolerate a carrot that although organically
grown had been soaked in water to maintain a false rigidity. He hated organic
food saturated in salts, hydrogenated and contaminated by thallates. To him
a bottle should not be recycled but reused afted being cleaned in hot water
with organic soap. [Is that in fact possible?]
Maybe you are wondering why Lucien was unable to find work on an independent
organic farm. Lucien was a weakling by birth. His life revolved almost entirely
around his need to know. Ruled by an over expansive Gemini he had mastered nothing
but a fund of general knowledge always related to issues raised by a middle-class
rebellion. Typical of such causes was his adherence to the principles of the
anti-vaccination movement. His approved method being homeopathy linked to the
option of the disease 'nosode'. Outside the bureau he took several tablets of
Sheussler tissue salts. The office atmosphere, the diesel fumes, had drained
him.
[Jobs might be lost if the doomsday projects were to be suspended.]
'Do take a seat.'
Mills looked from the filing cabinet to the window and then back at the allopathic
doctor seated at his expansive desk.
What seems to be the problem?
Mills remembered his childhood illnesses, his weeks in bed and more recently
a series of overdoses mainly alcohol. How is at beyond a certain level of intoxication,
it seems impossible to stop until its too late and one has to pay the price
in an agony of sickness. The accidental acid overdose had left him weakened
and hypersensitive and liver conjestion hadn't helped: 'I have a general debility
he surmised' and glanced again at the window and yet he saw nothing. It was
hard to focus on two things at once and now all that counted was his explanation.
'I would like the opinion of a homeopath'. His doctor complied by reference
to a clinic which specialised in potencies. His previous experience meant that
he knew it would help but that there could never be a complete cure. And yet
the weak seemed often to outlive the strong. Perhaps because after near disaster
they began to take greater care. Avoid all additives was a phrase dear to Mills
heart.
Flecks of silver sparkled
on the pavements. Great clouds rose from the horizon. Could Tibetan monks really
transfer their consciousness to a cloud. Mills was inclined to think so. At
least his experience with drugs had taught him that a tree is a field of energy
and light and that the colours of the wind can blow through you when your soul
vibrations are changed. [Please remember taking large amounts of anything can
be extremely dangerous . . . dosage levels count . . ]
'Exactly how many micrograms did you give him?'
The stale smell of decay, rotting food and cigarette smoke, the chemical brands
laced with nitrate. Is it the nitrate that causes the cancer, the additive that
sears the lungs of those who smoke readymades. Maybe you are wondering . . .
. . a long lonely glance at the window across time and space in this hopeless
situation. His approved method took several tablets - dish washing has middle-class
approval - the last ticket sold - not so my memory activated by a continuity
vacuum - weak in bed saturated in salts and the mind spinning in contortions
of mania. Filing cabinets exploding border reach his need to know - closed ranks
to defendant thought guilt - last judge of all flaming parts in crescendo of
white fish sauce. This wine is corked. Below zero this game with no winners
- the smoke of industrial sectors blots out Aberdeen and Aldabaran. From the
filing cabinet to the window wires of contention trail of contempt vital drivel
of a billion sets tuned to control. The menu of approval silent T.V. to co-operate
100 Plaza Nembutal location co-ordinates hammers the twilight. Images blowing
over industrial plants catch indifferent apathy of the wage slave, dog shit
parks, bureaucracy in the service of capital, diesel fumes in the dying air
. . . Evidence of napalm bombing and war crimes in East Timor? . . . . images
on fire . . . . but there is more much more in every direction, Shiva and Kali
in emblems, sublime as archetypes, fire at noon, welfare to come, like a dawn,
painted continuity curves, illuminated toys, light of atoms. The playing of
operas, ultra millions melt together like Vienna, like extinct stories of geiger
counters, old furniture, America rubbing allies withered as the smudge of infinity
. . . . protocols of globalisation . . . .
"Of the forty-two Scud missiles launched forty-one were intercepted should read
of the forty-two launched none were intercepted. In one incident twenty-eight
of our troops were killed. Let us say debris from the 'patriots' could have
added to the damage and panic."(Voices of United America)
Ideology of immaculate conception launches vast network of depletion aimed at
native population. Multiple rocket attack launched today kills two hundred holders
of plastic talisman. In practice the ideology descends into a hell on earth,
electric devices control the hideous sociology of all the nations increase profits
threefold.
Over the hill urban 'galaxies' of orange lights set in black satin night indicate
vast machinery to the glowing horizons. Orange tinted clouds fleck the skies
in the winds of oceans where the seas are trawled to extinction.
You will find a photograph album and a school diary perhaps a drawer full of
newspaper cuttings and the latest assesment of the economy. Tax speculation
and interest rate plus the exchange of currency indicate the overall percentage
the yields to the incoming raw material link to a grid of technical innovations
run not by governments but a myriad of small firms often family owned.
Mills thought about it. To work day after day with two or three weeks holiday
by the sea. "Maybe I could just cope. If they would allow me to be seated while
I chop vegetables. Then I could stir the rich soup and perhaps learn to bake
pure bread without added salt." What is this ersatz product with the consistency
of blotting paper pulque? He carefully replaced the bottle in the compartmental
box. The bottle might have been in constant use since the middle ages he mused.
So let me say this to you, you who sit before a blank window in the halls of
reference. If a system seemed to work is it surprising that it was recorded
in stone. The jaguar god combat lines of electric light surge past pylons and
board games the basket of herbs leads to the anaesthesia required for the heart
to be ripped out and smeared accross the gods of the lower astral. Distant beverages
of the colonies - rays of light recorded the day when time siezed up and the
jungle enveloped the dead down to the last woman and child. Shadows of Hiroshima
and Nagasaki installed in the house of reprasentatives with a quaint gas lamp
to remind of 1879. Said you will all remember this day for years to come the
day of independence from immaculate conceptions. Written in stone for future
generations the concept of food shelter and clothing. The implementation of
sedation for certain pain relieving operations and remedies carved onto the
walls of the city streets - cannabis, psilocybin, mescalin, datura, belladonna,
coca, opium, these are out deserving friends. And their faces went blank not
wanting or not capable of understanding. And they reached for the lines of control
to enforce ignorance and obliterate the statue of the stone poppy. The poppy
was only to be used to remember their dead. The living dead, Eliot's hollow
men, unlock the monuments to ignorance, the chambers of commerce with the big
beating electric hearts of wires linked to billions of nodes in one vast web
of multiplying lies.
On these pages is carved the right to die when the body is crippled beyond repair
or the mind is a searing flame caused by the additives and toxic wastes of control,
the dead oceans of myriad machines caked in oil and grime. I refer to the awful
effects of industrial production, the great stain of unknowable conscription,
because we're here, because. . . . . .[Message left - crateagus for tonification
of the heart - milkwort for the liver.]
Conscripted into 'what exactly' . . . . not because! . . . one last glance at
the silent screens over and over again.
Who needs gold when golden sunbeams illuminate the way.
Mills thought about it . . . . Castaneda was just kidding anyway when he said
he'd jumped from a precipice. The guy mixed fantasy with reality like most fiction
writers. So what percentage of his tales just dissapear in a puff of smoke and
what proportion is left to verify?
