sixty oh why so what did you 89 00:05:01,300 --> 00:04:58,820 when you heard about it at the time you 90 00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:01,310 were obviously nine years old do you 91 00:05:06,700 --> 00:05:03,050 remember hearing about it and were you 92 00:05:09,490 --> 00:05:06,710 in California mmhmm yeah I live in 93 00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:09,500 central California yeah I remember her 94 00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:11,570 in a bit about it really came to my 95 00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:16,010 attention in around that was like 74 or 96 00:05:21,280 --> 00:05:18,770 75 there was a mini-series I don't know 97 00:05:24,370 --> 00:05:21,290 if you recall that called dr. skelter 98 00:05:26,770 --> 00:05:24,380 based on the Bugliosi book in a kind of 99 00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:26,780 blew my mind I was at that time I was 100 00:05:33,490 --> 00:05:31,250 kind of becoming interested in the 60s 101 00:05:35,740 --> 00:05:33,500 counterculture you know I was a little 102 00:05:38,340 --> 00:05:35,750 young for that but my brothers were of 103 00:05:40,140 --> 00:05:38,350 that age and I started reached 104 00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:40,150 discovering 105 00:05:44,130 --> 00:05:42,250 left a bunch and their albums when they 106 00:05:46,830 --> 00:05:44,140 moved you know the Beatles and doors and 107 00:05:50,940 --> 00:05:46,840 on and on so I was interested in that 108 00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:50,950 period and when I saw that miniseries on 109 00:05:57,810 --> 00:05:53,050 the Manson Family kind of blew my mind 110 00:05:59,340 --> 00:05:57,820 like wow that wasn't at the time that 111 00:06:03,720 --> 00:05:59,350 was a long time ago and it was before 112 00:06:06,300 --> 00:06:03,730 you know I later got into making films 113 00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:06,310 and television but I was just you know 114 00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:09,370 an observer back then in the early mid 115 00:06:15,540 --> 00:06:12,730 70s and I remember thinking it was a 116 00:06:20,100 --> 00:06:15,550 great miniseries so in the guy that 117 00:06:23,610 --> 00:06:20,110 played the part I'm not eat reels back 118 00:06:26,850 --> 00:06:23,620 there you go steve railsback did such an 119 00:06:28,470 --> 00:06:26,860 amazing job I mean he was Charlie Manson 120 00:06:31,970 --> 00:06:28,480 by the end of that thing he would 121 00:06:35,280 --> 00:06:31,980 totally and I remember the most a 122 00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:35,290 shocking moment or the scariest moment 123 00:06:41,810 --> 00:06:37,690 for me in the hole or the most dramatic 124 00:06:45,840 --> 00:06:41,820 moment in the whole mini series was when 125 00:06:49,470 --> 00:06:45,850 he was staring at Vincent Bugliosi and 126 00:06:51,150 --> 00:06:49,480 he stopped in stop this watch I'm how I 127 00:06:53,220 --> 00:06:51,160 don't remember exactly how this is worth 128 00:06:57,750 --> 00:06:53,230 wit yeah just like just like you're a 129 00:07:00,720 --> 00:06:57,760 killer yeah exactly and yes yeah that 130 00:07:03,990 --> 00:07:00,730 was Riccio yeah steve railsback knocked 131 00:07:06,570 --> 00:07:04,000 it out of the park I'm a Tory Manson was 132 00:07:10,770 --> 00:07:06,580 this little guy he's at five foot two 133 00:07:14,070 --> 00:07:10,780 and you think how could someone be so 134 00:07:16,860 --> 00:07:14,080 charismatic to you know bringing all 135 00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:16,870 these young people and of course I know 136 00:07:22,590 --> 00:07:20,530 sort of how cults work and you don't 137 00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:22,600 necessarily have to be a weak person to 138 00:07:26,850 --> 00:07:24,730 get drawn in you it just have yet to be 139 00:07:30,540 --> 00:07:26,860 caught at the right moment or the right 140 00:07:34,140 --> 00:07:30,550 time in your life but maybe he had a 141 00:07:36,330 --> 00:07:34,150 little something more going than what we 142 00:07:38,580 --> 00:07:36,340 realized and maybe that was sort of a 143 00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:38,590 clue to that when he stopped that watch 144 00:07:44,610 --> 00:07:42,010 is that possible if that really happened 145 00:07:47,430 --> 00:07:44,620 I mean there's so much mythology 146 00:07:50,250 --> 00:07:47,440 surrounding the Manson murders and 147 00:07:51,690 --> 00:07:50,260 Charles Manson himself sometimes it's 148 00:07:54,010 --> 00:07:51,700 difficult 149 00:07:57,790 --> 00:07:54,020 separating the other week from the chaff 150 00:08:01,510 --> 00:07:57,800 but you know you know as far as his 151 00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:01,520 control over his flock I think you know 152 00:08:07,510 --> 00:08:04,850 that can be attributed to you know he 153 00:08:11,290 --> 00:08:07,520 grew up in prison the most of his early 154 00:08:14,110 --> 00:08:11,300 years were in reformatories or prisons 155 00:08:16,450 --> 00:08:14,120 so it was kind of the school of hard 156 00:08:18,610 --> 00:08:16,460 knocks and that's you know that was his 157 00:08:22,180 --> 00:08:18,620 school that's where he learned to become 158 00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:22,190 a manipulator and such and was also he 159 00:08:29,110 --> 00:08:25,970 mentioned Scientology the early 60s he 160 00:08:31,810 --> 00:08:29,120 was exposed to Scientology when he was 161 00:08:34,750 --> 00:08:31,820 serving time at McNeil Island up in 162 00:08:38,500 --> 00:08:34,760 Washington State and according to the 163 00:08:41,409 --> 00:08:38,510 stories he was part of a oh there were 164 00:08:43,930 --> 00:08:41,419 several folks in a Cell that studied 165 00:08:47,460 --> 00:08:43,940 under a guy named linear rainier who was 166 00:08:50,230 --> 00:08:47,470 a Scientology auditor you could teach 167 00:08:54,490 --> 00:08:50,240 Scientology and so that's where Madison 168 00:08:57,820 --> 00:08:54,500 was first exposed to Scientology and you 169 00:09:01,570 --> 00:08:57,830 know different ways of quote-unquote 170 00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:01,580 mind control and you know what's become 171 00:09:07,630 --> 00:09:04,970 known as it NLP these days so he was 172 00:09:09,940 --> 00:09:07,640 exposed to that type of stuff pretty 173 00:09:12,850 --> 00:09:09,950 early and some of his mentors in jail 174 00:09:16,810 --> 00:09:12,860 were some heavy hitters like gap Alvin 175 00:09:19,270 --> 00:09:16,820 creepy Karpis who was oh yeah public 176 00:09:25,750 --> 00:09:19,280 enemy number one actually taught Manson 177 00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:25,760 to play guitar and such and mafiosos 178 00:09:32,590 --> 00:09:30,530 like Frankie carbo Manson got two new 179 00:09:35,650 --> 00:09:32,600 nose you know and learn from these guys 180 00:09:38,350 --> 00:09:35,660 and so by the time he got out last time 181 00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:38,360 you got out of prison you know before 182 00:09:46,540 --> 00:09:42,770 the murders was in 67 and he was in his 183 00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:46,550 early 30s at that point in landed Ino in 184 00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:49,490 the San Francisco in the haight ashbury 185 00:09:56,890 --> 00:09:51,890 and the young hippie kids and chicks 186 00:09:59,230 --> 00:09:56,900 were like prime for to be fleeced by him 187 00:10:01,980 --> 00:09:59,240 and he moved riding that scene grew his 188 00:10:05,410 --> 00:10:01,990 hair long was somewhat you know how fast 189 00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:05,420 musicians so he was able to 190 00:10:10,210 --> 00:10:08,210 you know it first tracked a couple of 191 00:10:13,270 --> 00:10:10,220 girls and then it kind of grew over a 192 00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:13,280 period of time as did his control over 193 00:10:21,730 --> 00:10:20,450 them well absolutely now so you think he 194 00:10:23,740 --> 00:10:21,740 might have been employing some of these 195 00:10:28,090 --> 00:10:23,750 methods that he learned from the 196 00:10:30,430 --> 00:10:28,100 Scientology auditors as well as from the 197 00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:30,440 criminals in the cons that he ran into 198 00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:33,250 there and so that so I think so I 199 00:10:40,450 --> 00:10:36,530 remember the conspiracy researcher and 200 00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:40,460 writer Jim Keith I absolutely do I I had 201 00:10:47,410 --> 00:10:44,450 a chance to speak with Jim a few times 202 00:10:50,980 --> 00:10:47,420 when I was working on a TV series called 203 00:10:54,490 --> 00:10:50,990 strange universe oh you know yeah yeah 204 00:10:59,740 --> 00:10:54,500 we talked with Jimmy it that was it too 205 00:11:01,770 --> 00:10:59,750 long before he died or mate yeah cuz 206 00:11:06,700 --> 00:11:01,780 didn't he die and about in the 90s 207 00:11:10,270 --> 00:11:06,710 around I was at that burning man he was 208 00:11:12,420 --> 00:11:10,280 at burning man who was around 99 you 209 00:11:14,680 --> 00:11:12,430 mentioned we were talking earlier 210 00:11:17,410 --> 00:11:14,690 getting off on a little bit of a tangent 211 00:11:20,310 --> 00:11:17,420 terabit will circle back to what we were 212 00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:20,320 talking about I have written an article 213 00:11:26,350 --> 00:11:23,810 was actually review of Jim Keith saucers 214 00:11:31,090 --> 00:11:26,360 of the Illuminati for UFO magazine back 215 00:11:32,260 --> 00:11:31,100 and since the late 90s when he died so 216 00:11:35,380 --> 00:11:32,270 there's a connection there but 217 00:11:39,190 --> 00:11:35,390 interestingly enough Jim keith was a 218 00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:39,200 former high-level Scientologist a lot of 219 00:11:45,460 --> 00:11:42,050 people don't know that I did not know 220 00:11:48,220 --> 00:11:45,470 that and he shared with me a few things 221 00:11:51,310 --> 00:11:48,230 he saw different films and stuff of 222 00:11:53,980 --> 00:11:51,320 Manson and he said Manson was employing 223 00:11:58,270 --> 00:11:53,990 certain techniques that came from 224 00:12:00,370 --> 00:11:58,280 Scientology like doing mirroring 225 00:12:03,220 --> 00:12:00,380 techniques of people when you're talking 226 00:12:06,220 --> 00:12:03,230 to somebody if you start done mirroring 227 00:12:09,490 --> 00:12:06,230 their actions very subtly you can build 228 00:12:11,410 --> 00:12:09,500 a rapport with them that's y a method 229 00:12:15,370 --> 00:12:11,420 that's also in neuro linguistic 230 00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:15,380 programming so when I talked to Jim this 231 00:12:19,070 --> 00:12:17,450 was years ago he pointed out a few 232 00:12:22,100 --> 00:12:19,080 things 233 00:12:24,860 --> 00:12:22,110 and matched Matson speech and mannerism 234 00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:24,870 that told him that he was employing 235 00:12:36,140 --> 00:12:31,410 different Scientology techniques Wow now 236 00:12:39,650 --> 00:12:36,150 I don't remember exactly the mode of 237 00:12:41,420 --> 00:12:39,660 Jim's death and but I do know that there 238 00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:41,430 was something suspicious about it and 239 00:12:48,650 --> 00:12:45,930 then won it a few years later that his 240 00:12:54,230 --> 00:12:48,660 Co one of his co-authors or co-editors 241 00:12:57,050 --> 00:12:54,240 and died was that Jerry Smith or well we 242 00:12:59,930 --> 00:12:57,060 can go down that hat because it's tied 243 00:13:02,030 --> 00:12:59,940 into discordian is a model enough when 244 00:13:08,990 --> 00:13:02,040 we get back to Madison but you know some 245 00:13:12,410 --> 00:13:09,000 rot it up so Jim died thinking it was 98 246 00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:12,420 or 99 and he was at the Burning Man 247 00:13:17,930 --> 00:13:15,810 festival e not Danny without a desert 248 00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:17,940 that you but he knows about Bernie man 249 00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:21,330 up and to a couple over the years and so 250 00:13:26,210 --> 00:13:23,490 he was there and he was up on a stage 251 00:13:28,220 --> 00:13:26,220 doing some performance thing dancing 252 00:13:30,620 --> 00:13:28,230 whatever and he jumped off the stage you 253 00:13:32,450 --> 00:13:30,630 know it it was like he was a skidding 254 00:13:34,810 --> 00:13:32,460 off the stage it was like a three foot 255 00:13:39,230 --> 00:13:34,820 drop or whatever but he tweaked his knee 256 00:13:42,050 --> 00:13:39,240 and screwed it up and you know it's got 257 00:13:45,850 --> 00:13:42,060 bad enough next day he went in for 258 00:13:50,630 --> 00:13:45,860 medical attention to Washoe County 259 00:13:53,510 --> 00:13:50,640 Hospital there and they put him under 260 00:13:55,730 --> 00:13:53,520 her and he was really nervous about 261 00:13:58,460 --> 00:13:55,740 going under at an ascetic for this 262 00:14:02,240 --> 00:13:58,470 routine surgery during the course of 263 00:14:04,220 --> 00:14:02,250 surgery on his knee a blood clot was 264 00:14:07,730 --> 00:14:04,230 released what you know went to his lungs 265 00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:07,740 or wherever and killed him and he he had 266 00:14:13,060 --> 00:14:10,650 told somebody you know before he before 267 00:14:17,950 --> 00:14:13,070 the surgery started that he was 268 00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:17,960 reluctant to go under anesthesia because 269 00:14:23,270 --> 00:14:20,610 is what concern something like that 270 00:14:25,940 --> 00:14:23,280 might happen so you know so a lot of 271 00:14:27,590 --> 00:14:25,950 people well did he feel like somebody 272 00:14:28,820 --> 00:14:27,600 was out to get him or do you feel like 273 00:14:31,370 --> 00:14:28,830 he might have you know a lot of people 274 00:14:34,130 --> 00:14:31,380 do seem to kind of have a premonition 275 00:14:36,470 --> 00:14:34,140 sometimes about their own demise what I 276 00:14:38,530 --> 00:14:36,480 know about Jim he wasn't overly paranoid 277 00:14:41,180 --> 00:14:38,540 about that you know even being a 278 00:14:45,140 --> 00:14:41,190 conspiracy writer he was there was kind 279 00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:45,150 of that I the humorous Irishman side to 280 00:14:49,070 --> 00:14:46,890 him you know but he knew and he was 281 00:14:50,750 --> 00:14:49,080 getting into some heavy stuff but other 282 00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:50,760 people wrote about it at the time like 283 00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:52,770 ken thomas you know candy was a good 284 00:14:59,480 --> 00:14:55,770 friend yeah Ken's gonna be on next week 285 00:15:01,340 --> 00:14:59,490 oh right on yeah so you can ask him 286 00:15:03,530 --> 00:15:01,350 about this but they wrote the octopus 287 00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:03,540 together about do you know Danny 288 00:15:10,010 --> 00:15:05,970 casillero Danny casillero that that 289 00:15:12,470 --> 00:15:10,020 whole deal and at the time of you know 290 00:15:17,300 --> 00:15:12,480 right before Jim died he was looking 291 00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:17,310 into the death of Princess Diana and it 292 00:15:23,270 --> 00:15:20,330 uncovered some pretty you know 293 00:15:26,050 --> 00:15:23,280 controversial material suggesting that 294 00:15:29,090 --> 00:15:26,060 she was pregnant you know with Jody 295 00:15:34,310 --> 00:15:29,100 Fayed was at her boyfriend with Rhoda 296 00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:34,320 yeah oh yeah with his child and he had 297 00:15:38,540 --> 00:15:36,090 other material is he was getting ready 298 00:15:41,420 --> 00:15:38,550 to expose this so some people point to 299 00:15:46,030 --> 00:15:41,430 that you know who knows but so that was 300 00:15:49,850 --> 00:15:46,040 if I can get all the dates right here so 301 00:15:53,420 --> 00:15:49,860 a year or two later this all happened 302 00:15:55,700 --> 00:15:53,430 you know within a couple years Jim 303 00:15:58,850 --> 00:15:55,710 Keith's publisher was wrong bonds at 304 00:16:02,390 --> 00:15:58,860 illumina press I I knew him pretty good 305 00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:02,400 too lumen Empress was pretty much the 306 00:16:09,250 --> 00:16:07,410 foremost publisher of conspiracy books 307 00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:09,260 you know along with a couple other 308 00:16:15,710 --> 00:16:12,690 publishers like feral house yeah and 309 00:16:18,950 --> 00:16:15,720 another curious death that he died of 310 00:16:21,110 --> 00:16:18,960 food poisoning in a Mexican restaurant 311 00:16:24,380 --> 00:16:21,120 and you know a lot of people raise their 312 00:16:27,740 --> 00:16:24,390 eyebrows because keep Jim Keith and Ron 313 00:16:29,900 --> 00:16:27,750 bonds you know at you

like you know a 317 00:16:41,750 --> 00:16:40,320 partner in aluminum press so over the 318 00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:41,760 course of the couple of years the main 319 00:16:49,700 --> 00:16:45,570 players there were gone and no longer 320 00:16:52,970 --> 00:16:49,710 publishing conspiracy buds now there was 321 00:16:54,890 --> 00:16:52,980 one other person involved with the 322 00:16:57,650 --> 00:16:54,900 illuminant press who died around the 323 00:17:01,060 --> 00:16:57,660 same period sky I've written quite a bit 324 00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:01,070 about by the name of Kerry Thornleigh 325 00:17:08,660 --> 00:17:04,890 who maybe we'll get well given he's 326 00:17:11,450 --> 00:17:08,670 involved in sporty anism Discordians him 327 00:17:14,380 --> 00:17:11,460 yeah but but he was just briefly his 328 00:17:17,180 --> 00:17:14,390 connection with aluminum press was 329 00:17:19,340 --> 00:17:17,190 illuminate press brought out a bunch of 330 00:17:21,620 --> 00:17:19,350 Kerry Thornleigh's books he hadn't 331 00:17:23,660 --> 00:17:21,630 really been books that hadn't been 332 00:17:26,810 --> 00:17:23,670 published before dealing with the 333 00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:26,820 Kennedy assassination Oswald this type 334 00:17:32,030 --> 00:17:29,730 of stuff and you know in fact the first 335 00:17:35,330 --> 00:17:32,040 book published by illuminate press was 336 00:17:38,510 --> 00:17:35,340 thornless book the idol warriors and he 337 00:17:40,940 --> 00:17:38,520 published a total of a three title so 338 00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:40,950 Carrie Thornleigh and Jim Keith were the 339 00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:45,210 most published authors at illuminant 340 00:17:54,560 --> 00:17:48,930 press and thorley Gaiden now 98 I think 341 00:17:57,680 --> 00:17:54,570 Keith died in 99 then pounds died in two 342 00:18:00,140 --> 00:17:57,690 thousand so I might not have the dates 343 00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:00,150 exactly right so in the course of three 344 00:18:05,260 --> 00:18:02,250 years you know them main three players 345 00:18:09,620 --> 00:18:05,270 at the limit at press were all gone and 346 00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:09,630 yeah I was I remember sometime later I 347 00:18:14,420 --> 00:18:11,970 started doing this show I've been doing 348 00:18:18,460 --> 00:18:14,430 it now for about seven or eight years I 349 00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:18,470 was at a different venue before but I 350 00:18:28,450 --> 00:18:23,490 was going to have a Jerry Smith come on 351 00:18:31,820 --> 00:18:28,460 and I contacted him but he was too ill 352 00:18:35,270 --> 00:18:31,830 and he eat so he never did make it on 353 00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:35,280 but uh you know I think he might have 354 00:18:40,730 --> 00:18:38,490 had some questions about his illness i 355 00:18:43,700 --> 00:18:40,740 don't know but there seemed to be a lot 356 00:18:46,750 --> 00:18:43,710 of people you know dying around 357 00:18:51,230 --> 00:18:46,760 around Jim Keith in that whole situation 358 00:18:53,360 --> 00:18:51,240 yeah as far as Jerry Smith he died more 359 00:18:56,600 --> 00:18:53,370 you guys sometime later yeah yeah like a 360 00:19:00,139 --> 00:18:56,610 couple years ago I was in that reason 361 00:19:09,669 --> 00:19:00,149 yeah the problem not more than I think 362 00:19:13,669 --> 00:19:09,679 maybe your absorb utt you know people do 363 00:19:16,250 --> 00:19:13,679 we all die we are yeah and we and we all 364 00:19:19,490 --> 00:19:16,260 look for conspiracies to her at least i 365 00:19:23,169 --> 00:19:19,500 do i guess but i always said if you look 366 00:19:28,190 --> 00:19:23,179 hard enough you will find a haha yeah 367 00:19:32,330 --> 00:19:28,200 but now but to the demand something did 368 00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:32,340 he did he what perform you talked about 369 00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:36,090 black magic was he actually performing 370 00:19:41,060 --> 00:19:38,250 black magic rituals and things like that 371 00:19:44,620 --> 00:19:41,070 that you were able to find out and was 372 00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:44,630 that how he sort of controlled people 373 00:19:52,070 --> 00:19:48,690 with magic or was it just simply through 374 00:19:54,620 --> 00:19:52,080 the con through the mind control well 375 00:19:58,430 --> 00:19:54,630 yeah and use an acid you know there was 376 00:20:01,399 --> 00:19:58,440 some amount of ritual going on 377 00:20:03,529 --> 00:20:01,409 especially with a lot of you know they'd 378 00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:03,539 have group orgies and that type of stuff 379 00:20:10,399 --> 00:20:08,490 which you know is basically sex magic 380 00:20:12,980 --> 00:20:10,409 who's trying to alter the consciousness 381 00:20:16,010 --> 00:20:12,990 of the group and make them into one 382 00:20:19,519 --> 00:20:16,020 being was kind of the trip in the latter 383 00:20:24,260 --> 00:20:19,529 days of the Manson Family so yeah it 384 00:20:29,090 --> 00:20:24,270 definitely relates to ritual magic sex 385 00:20:31,639 --> 00:20:29,100 magic so like I said there's a lot of 386 00:20:33,950 --> 00:20:31,649 Mythology about this stuff two tons of 387 00:20:37,159 --> 00:20:33,960 books and sorting through that sometimes 388 00:20:39,769 --> 00:20:37,169 it's hard to tell what has been made up 389 00:20:42,919 --> 00:20:39,779 and what is not but you look at the 390 00:20:46,190 --> 00:20:42,929 roots of the Manson Family it's pretty 391 00:20:52,730 --> 00:20:46,200 interesting even prior to matteson 392 00:20:56,330 --> 00:20:52,740 getting out of prison in 67 another guy 393 00:20:59,060 --> 00:20:56,340 you familiar with Bobby pozole sure yet 394 00:21:02,090 --> 00:20:59,070 he was so the first actual Madsen murder 395 00:21:05,930 --> 00:21:02,100 was

404 00:21:34,540 --> 00:21:29,610 Canyon at his home and what was his 405 00:21:37,820 --> 00:21:34,550 connection well he was a drug dealer 406 00:21:41,540 --> 00:21:37,830 bathtub chemist and it there you know he 407 00:21:44,630 --> 00:21:41,550 was making think it was a different 408 00:21:47,150 --> 00:21:44,640 drugs but mess going and so those olay 409 00:21:51,020 --> 00:21:47,160 was a middleman and there was a biker 410 00:21:53,930 --> 00:21:51,030 group that bozo lay sold some of him and 411 00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:53,940 stuff too and the biker group said they 412 00:21:58,820

415 00:22:08,030 --> 00:22:05,040 group and things eventually this kind of 416 00:22:09,799 --> 00:22:08,040 swirled out of control when because the 417 00:22:12,049 --> 00:22:09,809 bikers wanted their money back in hinman 418 00:22:15,890 --> 00:22:12,059 wouldn't come across with it so that led 419 00:22:18,500 --> 00:22:15,900 to the first murder but getting back to 420 00:22:22,240 -->

00:22:57,989 Francisco around 432 00:23:05,999 --> 00:23:03,460 1966 formed his own band and came to the 433 00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:06,009 attention of the experimental filmmaker 434 00:23:13,519 --> 00:23:09,850 Kenneth Anger we had a long history in 435 00:23:17,340 --> 00:23:13,529 the occult news prodigy a disciple of 436 00:23:21,690 --> 00:23:17,350 Aleister Crowley Andy he may be familiar 437 00:23:26,460 --> 00:23:21,700 with some of angers films they delve 438 00:23:29,970 --> 00:23:26,470 into a lot of these darker areas and so 439 00:23:32,180 --> 00:23:29,980 during this period anger or saw bosal a 440 00:23:34,379 --> 00:23:32,190 plane to the concert somewhere and 441 00:23:38,070 --> 00:23:34,389 approached him and asked if you wanted 442 00:23:40,139 --> 00:23:38,080 to be in a film he was trying to get 443 00:23:42,799 --> 00:23:40,149 going called Lucifer rising and he 444 00:23:47,450 --> 00:23:42,809 wanted bosal a to play the lead part of 445 00:23:51,269 --> 00:23:47,460 Lucifer and so yeah Bosley we can't 446 00:23:55,259 --> 00:23:51,279 started this relationship with Kenneth 447 00:23:58,849 --> 00:23:55,269 Anger and it's always Kenneth Anger into 448 00:24:01,769 --> 00:23:58,859 philosophy wise with the Lucifer rising 449 00:24:05,249 --> 00:24:01,779 well he was into crew lethal emic 450 00:24:08,909 --> 00:24:05,259 Magister you know that type of stuff is 451 00:24:11,729 --> 00:24:08,919 far ya know that's where he was coming 452 00:24:15,539 --> 00:24:11,739 from and you know they started filming 453 00:24:17,700 --> 00:24:15,549 this movie but they had a falling out of 454 00:24:21,889 --> 00:24:17,710 some stuff and you hear different sides 455 00:24:24,749 --> 00:24:21,899 of the story anger says that those olay 456 00:24:28,289 --> 00:24:24,759 ran off of some of the film footage and 457 00:24:31,289 --> 00:24:28,299 all this and according to legend anger 458 00:24:32,729 --> 00:24:31,299 placed a curse on bozo lane which who 459 00:24:40,049 --> 00:24:32,739 knows might have led to the Manson 460 00:24:42,509 --> 00:24:40,059 Family the sum of the film footage later 461 00:24:43,669 --> 00:24:42,519 came out in the film you can find it 462 00:24:46,919 --> 00:24:43,679 might even be on YouTube called 463 00:24:49,950 --> 00:24:46,929 invocation of my demon brother with 464 00:24:55,590 --> 00:24:49,960 Basel a in it as well as none other than 465 00:24:59,159 --> 00:24:55,600 Anton LaVey of the Ohio State and anger 466 00:25:02,310 --> 00:24:59,169 and well they had a long relationship to 467 00:25:04,769 --> 00:25:02,320 prior to church of satan they were Greek 468 00:25:09,019 --> 00:25:04,779 called the Magic Circle so you had that 469 00:25:16,950 --> 00:25:09,029 connection with the Bobby bosal a 470 00:25:19,889 --> 00:25:16,960 then ultimately anger or you know use 471 00:25:23,100 --> 00:25:19,899 the footage from the original Lucifer 472 00:25:25,769 --> 00:25:23,110 rising for this movie invocation for my 473 00:25:27,810 --> 00:25:25,779 demon brother but then later on anger 474 00:25:32,190 --> 00:25:27,820 did a new production of Lucifer rising 475 00:25:35,639 --> 00:25:32,200 that was different from Lena the bosal a 476 00:25:39,049 --> 00:25:35,649 footage and Lucifer rising film was 477 00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:39,059 being developed in the 70s and he got 478 00:25:47,190 --> 00:25:43,330 became anger became friends with jimmy 479 00:25:48,870 --> 00:25:47,200 page with Led Zeppelin mmm he was into 480 00:25:52,019 --> 00:25:48,880 Aleister Crowley of course yeah and 481 00:25:54,690 --> 00:25:52,029 after South I'm yeah page was living in 482 00:25:58,549 --> 00:25:54,700 Crowley's castle they called bull skin 483 00:26:01,019 --> 00:25:58,559 there awk Ness nagar went out there and 484 00:26:04,799 --> 00:26:01,029 was kind of working on his film there 485 00:26:07,620 --> 00:26:04,809 and having Jimmy Page do the soundtrack 486 00:26:11,370 --> 00:26:07,630 at that time anyway once again anger has 487 00:26:13,620 --> 00:26:11,380 not falling out with age and so they 488 00:26:15,750 --> 00:26:13,630 never use jimmy page's soundtrack that 489 00:26:19,110 --> 00:26:15,760 you're asking what beausoleil is doing 490 00:26:22,289 --> 00:26:19,120 in recent times anger approach bosal a 491 00:26:24,600 --> 00:26:22,299 this was in the 70s to produce the 492 00:26:26,940 --> 00:26:24,610 soundtrack for the new Lucifer rising 493 00:26:29,990 --> 00:26:26,950 film which puzzle a ended up producing 494 00:26:35,970 --> 00:26:30,000 in tracy prison in California and it's a 495 00:26:38,669 --> 00:26:35,980 pretty badass soundtrack really yeah so 496 00:26:41,430 --> 00:26:38,679 he's continued doing music over the 497 00:26:45,169 --> 00:26:41,440 years and was released several albums 498 00:26:47,970 --> 00:26:45,179 you can find online and does kind of 499 00:26:51,029 --> 00:26:47,980 rehabilitated his image he works with 500 00:26:53,340 --> 00:26:51,039 youth groups and you know and however 501 00:26:56,370 --> 00:26:53,350 that works when you're in prison and I 502 00:27:00,330 --> 00:26:56,380 think if any of the former Manson nights 503 00:27:02,310 --> 00:27:00,340 has a chance of getting out I was gonna 504 00:27:05,639 --> 00:27:02,320 say that because he did he had nothing 505 00:27:09,120 --> 00:27:05,649 to do with the tape LaBianca murders now 506 00:27:11,820 --> 00:27:09,130 he was he was uh forget he's either 507 00:27:14,580 --> 00:27:11,830 locked up or on the run at that time he 508 00:27:16,830 --> 00:27:14,590 might have some some knowledge of it but 509 00:27:20,220 --> 00:27:16,840 just you know just because he's been so 510 00:27:24,419 --> 00:27:20,230 active the last couple decades and 511 00:27:27,659 --> 00:27:24,429 doing work that positive working with 512 00:27:30,180 --> 00:27:27,669 youth thing maybe he has a chance but 513 00:27:34,350 --> 00:27:30,190 yeah so remember there was an old 514 00:27:37,110 --> 00:27:34,360 Richard Pryor comedy album and he 515 00:27:40,650 --> 00:27:37,120 somehow mentioned the Manson murders in 516 00:27:42,060 --> 00:27:40,660 it and he says yeah there they won't get 517 00:27:44,580 --> 00:27:42,070 out is that as long as they're making 518 00:27:46,409 --> 00:27:44,590 coffee they'll never get out because you 519 00:27:49,860 --> 00:27:46,419 know of course abigail folger was one of 520 00:27:51,030 --> 00:27:49,870 the one of the victims yeah have you 521 00:27:52,770 --> 00:27:51,040 never would that when the murder 522 00:27:56,039 --> 00:27:52,780 happened you know it was like a year 523 00:27:57,659 --> 00:27:56,049 after rosemary's baby came out so 524 00:27:59,700 --> 00:27:57,669 everybody caught a new who Roman 525 00:28:03,600 --> 00:27:59,710 Polanski was here in the United States 526 00:28:05,970 --> 00:28:03,610 at that time and you know the movie was 527 00:28:08,130 --> 00:28:05,980 so dark I remember thinking oh it has 528 00:28:10,950 --> 00:28:08,140 something to do with Rosemary's Baby or 529 00:28:13,080 --> 00:28:10,960 Roman Polanski r you know in the fact 530 00:28:16,049 --> 00:28:13,090 there was another guy there in the room 531 00:28:19,590 --> 00:28:16,059 with Cher and Jay Sebring who was her 532 00:28:22,289 --> 00:28:19,600 good friend I guess I thought oh it's 533 00:28:25,169 --> 00:28:22,299 he's you know he's angry because it's 534 00:28:28,250 --> 00:28:25,179 other guys there but then of course soon 535 00:28:31,470 --> 00:28:28,260 we found out that it was the Manson's 536 00:28:34,049 --> 00:28:31,480 but that Prince yeah that's another one 537 00:28:39,390 --> 00:28:34,059 of the legends that is not true 538 00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:39,400 regarding Rosemary's Baby that for years 539 00:28:44,039 --> 00:28:41,890 people have been floating this rumor I 540 00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:44,049 don't know how it got started but maybe 541 00:28:49,860 --> 00:28:46,570 Anton LaVey started in it himself but 542 00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:49,870 the story was that Anton LaVey had 543 00:28:56,310 --> 00:28:54,010 worked on Rosemary's Baby and actually 544 00:28:59,370 --> 00:28:56,320 played Satan in the movie had been a 545 00:29:04,230 --> 00:28:59,380 technical advisor and all this you know 546 00:29:07,340 --> 00:29:04,240 and that at some point during the movie 547 00:29:10,650 --> 00:29:07,350 him and Polanski had a falling out and 548 00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:10,660 afterwards well they put a curse on 549 00:29:16,140 --> 00:29:12,610 Polanski which led to the Manson Family 550 00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:16,150 murders but that story's not true if you 551 00:29:20,850 --> 00:29:18,730 look on the internet you'll see 552 00:29:24,090 --> 00:29:20,860 different iterations of the story that 553 00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:24,100 lavey was involved with the Rosemary's 554 00:29:31,049 --> 00:29:28,210 Baby where uh of course

646 00:35:36,750 --> 00:35:33,640 going to go right into Adams new book 647 00:35:38,640 --> 00:35:36,760 called historia discordia which is 648 00:35:42,650 --> 00:35:38,650 believe it or not there is a there is a 649 00:35:45,060 --> 00:35:42,660 relationship there but can you tell us a 650 00:35:49,260 --> 00:35:45,070 first of all because I wasn't familiar 651 00:35:51,750 --> 00:35:49,270 with this at all this idea of discordian 652 00:35:55,830 --> 00:35:51,760 ism what is it and where did it come 653 00:36:00,120 --> 00:35:55,840 from started in Southern California and 654 00:36:04,160 --> 00:36:00,130 whittier back in the late 50s paralia 655 00:36:08,910 --> 00:36:04,170 start holy value that's still there Wow 656 00:36:11,100 --> 00:36:08,920 yeah in fact I kind of quote-unquote 657 00:36:13,860 --> 00:36:11,110 rediscovered that bowling alley a few 658 00:36:16,230 --> 00:36:13,870 years ago and we did a kind of spoof 659 00:36:20,820 --> 00:36:16,240 ritual therefore discordian ISM button 660 00:36:23,270 --> 00:36:20,830 how it started these two kids Greg Hill 661 00:36:27,660 --> 00:36:23,280 and Carrie Thornleigh I grew up in 662 00:36:31,400 --> 00:36:27,670 whittier attended Cal hi there and used 663 00:36:35,490 --> 00:36:31,410 to spend a lot of time in bowling alleys 664 00:36:39,090 --> 00:36:35,500 in the Bible of discordian isn't 665 00:36:41,400 --> 00:36:39,100 principia discordia they say they spent 666 00:36:43,490 --> 00:36:41,410 time in bowling alleys sipping coffee 667 00:36:47,270 --> 00:36:43,500 and talking about philosophy and 668 00:36:50,210 --> 00:36:47,280 politics and these type of things but I 669 00:36:53,340 --> 00:36:50,220 think one of the main reasons they 670 00:36:57,240 --> 00:36:53,350 frequented bowling alleys because they 671 00:36:59,790 --> 00:36:57,250 can get beer there stay up to odd hours 672 00:37:02,910 --> 00:36:59,800 and just talking and riffing on 673 00:37:05,370 --> 00:37:02,920 different subjects and you know these 674 00:37:07,440 --> 00:37:05,380 guys are a couple of free thinkers for 675 00:37:10,530 --> 00:37:07,450 their for that age you know the 676 00:37:13,680 --> 00:37:10,540 Eisenhower 50s they were thrown all 677 00:37:15,690 --> 00:37:13,690 kinds of things around and at one point 678 00:37:21,089 --> 00:37:15,700 they started this 679 00:37:23,339 --> 00:37:21,099 Cashin questioning you know why was 680 00:37:25,980 --> 00:37:23,349 there so much chaos in the world you 681 00:37:28,680 --> 00:37:25,990 know and all these different religions 682 00:37:31,380 --> 00:37:28,690 have these different deities who were 683 00:37:33,890 --> 00:37:31,390 trying to impose order but it never 684 00:37:36,839 --> 00:37:33,900 seemed to work you know and jokingly 685 00:37:40,550 --> 00:37:36,849 carry Thornleigh said to grey kill what 686 00:37:45,270 --> 00:37:40,560 we need is our own religion dedicated to 687 00:37:46,940 --> 00:37:45,280 chaos our own deity in Craig Hill said 688 00:37:50,579 --> 00:37:46,950 well there already is one in Greek 689 00:37:53,940 --> 00:37:50,589 mythology thats at Aris the Greek 690 00:37:57,630 --> 00:37:53,950 goddess of chaos and discord so right 691 00:38:00,990 --> 00:37:57,640 then back there in 1958 they started 692 00:38:03,390 --> 00:38:01,000 what initially was a spoof religion 693 00:38:06,359 --> 00:38:03,400 called discordian ism and formed the 694 00:38:09,390 --> 00:38:06,369 Discordians society so that's where it 695 00:38:12,569 --> 00:38:09,400 started you know was just an in-joke at 696 00:38:17,790 --> 00:38:12,579 that time way back in the 1950s between 697 00:38:21,120 --> 00:38:17,800 these guys and so the next step in the 698 00:38:24,900 --> 00:38:21,130 story we leave discordian ism for a 699 00:38:27,900 --> 00:38:24,910 little bit Kerry Thornleigh uh he was a 700 00:38:30,839 --> 00:38:27,910 Marine Corps reservist in high school 701 00:38:33,420 --> 00:38:30,849 there and so to fulfill his active duty 702 00:38:36,720 --> 00:38:33,430 he enlisted in the Marines this was like 703 00:38:39,930 --> 00:38:36,730 in league 57 58 and I think he had a 704 00:38:41,400 --> 00:38:39,940 sense that the Vietnam War was on the 705 00:38:44,940 --> 00:38:41,410 horizon too so I wanted to get his 706 00:38:54,660 --> 00:38:44,950 military service out of the way so he 707 00:38:59,130 --> 00:38:54,670 was a station that this was in 59 no 708 00:39:02,730 --> 00:38:59,140 late 58 at El Toro Marine base near 709 00:39:06,329 --> 00:39:02,740 santa ana and it was there that he met 710 00:39:09,890 --> 00:39:06,339 none other than Lee Harvey Oswald that's 711 00:39:12,750 --> 00:39:09,900 crazy yeah well it gets much crazier 712 00:39:16,559 --> 00:39:12,760 oswal did previously been stationed at 713 00:39:19,410 --> 00:39:16,569 dot sugi airbase in japan and apparently 714 00:39:21,359 --> 00:39:19,420 you know the cover story at least was he 715 00:39:26,430 --> 00:39:21,369 got into a lot of trouble so he came 716 00:39:28,510 --> 00:39:26,440 back to the states with the rank of 717 00:39:32,920 --> 00:39:28,520 Corporal which was kind of odd 718 00:39:35,590 --> 00:39:32,930 you know because anybody then over had 719 00:39:37,660 --> 00:39:35,600 at least the excuse me came over still 720 00:39:39,970 --> 00:39:37,670 with the rank of pipe privately-owned 721 00:39:42,540 --> 00:39:39,980 which was odd because anybody came back 722 00:39:44,860 --> 00:39:42,550 usually was a corporal so he had this 723 00:39:48,640 --> 00:39:44,870 shroud hanging over him as like a 724 00:39:51,190 --> 00:39:48,650 screw-up and that's the period that he 725 00:39:54,730 --> 00:39:51,200 and Thornleigh met in over a you know a 726 00:39:56,740 --> 00:39:54,740 couple month period they became casual 727 00:39:59,980 --> 00:39:56,750 friends and poorly was a guy who liked 728 00:40:01,960 --> 00:39:59,990 to engage in conversations and so he 729 00:40:05,490 --> 00:40:01,970 engaged in many conversations with 730 00:40:08,740 --> 00:40:05,500 Oswald about politics and philosophy and 731 00:40:10,990 --> 00:40:08,750 religion and on and on and so they got 732 00:40:13,950 --> 00:40:11,000 to know each other briefly over that 733 00:40:16,900 --> 00:40:13,960 short period of a couple months then 734 00:40:19,060 --> 00:40:16,910 Thornleigh was shipped over to otsuki 735 00:40:21,910 --> 00:40:19,070 were Oswald had previously been 736 00:40:24,910 --> 00:40:21,920 stationed and on his trip over on the 737 00:40:27,970 --> 00:40:24,920 boat over to Otsuki he started working 738 00:40:31,570 --> 00:40:27,980 on a novel titled the idle lawyers about 739 00:40:34,810 --> 00:40:31,580 being a in the military during the Cold 740 00:40:37,300 --> 00:40:34,820 War period and the main character in the 741 00:40:39,820 --> 00:40:37,310 book was named Johnny Shelburne who was 742 00:40:42,340 --> 00:40:39,830 kind of a composite character based on 743 00:40:45,370 --> 00:40:42,350 Thornleigh himself two different Marines 744 00:40:47,800 --> 00:40:45,380 he had known including oswal so 745 00:40:51,460 --> 00:40:47,810 Thornleigh gets over to Otsuki and it 746 00:40:54,790 --> 00:40:51,470 was during that time frame that he heard 747 00:40:58,630 --> 00:40:54,800 that Oswald defected to Russia and he 748 00:41:00,970 --> 00:40:58,640 the holy crap that's still the story 749 00:41:05,230 --> 00:41:00,980 there and at that point he decided to 750 00:41:07,780 --> 00:41:05,240 base his book idle lawyers primarily now 751 00:41:10,180 --> 00:41:07,790 on Lee Harvey Oswald so that's kind of 752 00:41:13,390 --> 00:41:10,190 the first oddity in the story that 753 00:41:14,890 --> 00:41:13,400 thorley was writing a book about Oswald 754 00:41:18,250 --> 00:41:14,900 three years before the Kennedy 755 00:41:21,070 --> 00:41:18,260 assassination now when when he went to 756 00:41:25,110 --> 00:41:21,080 and defected to Russia he said 757 00:41:28,120 --> 00:41:25,120 Thornleigh was like holy cow well what 758 00:41:31,780 --> 00:41:28,130 had he revealed anything to Thornleigh 759 00:41:33,640 --> 00:41:31,790 prior to that that would let him know 760 00:41:35,650 --> 00:41:33,650 something about his politics that would 761 00:41:39,160 --> 00:41:35,660 make normally say oh my god she actually 762 00:41:41,060 --> 00:41:39,170 did it or well or was it was it just 763 00:41:49,040 --> 00:41:41,070 opposite of what he had said 764 00:41:52,750 --> 00:41:49,050 no um when Oswald got to el Toro you 765 00:41:57,710 --> 00:41:52,760 know or Thornleigh knew him he was 766 00:41:59,860 --> 00:41:57,720 learning to speak Russian so he'd lay 767 00:42:02,690 --> 00:41:59,870 some Russian on you know different 768 00:42:05,570 --> 00:42:02,700 conversations jokingly a lot of the time 769 00:42:12,770 --> 00:42:05,580 and he also subscribed openly to pravda 770 00:42:15,440 --> 00:42:12,780 and and so he was interested in Marxist 771 00:42:18,710 --> 00:42:15,450 ideology and so that's kind of the thing 772 00:42:21,680 --> 00:42:18,720 that he informally had conversations 773 00:42:25,240 --> 00:42:21,690 about you know politics and different 774 00:42:27,980 --> 00:42:25,250 political ideologies and whatnot but 775 00:42:30,220 --> 00:42:27,990 really looking deeply into this over the 776 00:42:33,100 --> 00:42:30,230 years and I've written a couple of books 777 00:42:36,320 --> 00:42:33,110 one was the prankster in the conspiracy 778 00:42:38,990 --> 00:42:36,330 bio of Kerry Thornleigh in 2003 then 779 00:42:41,590 --> 00:42:39,000 most recently a book that goes more into 780 00:42:44,420 --> 00:42:41,600 depth called caught in the crossfire 781 00:42:47,390 --> 00:42:44,430 Kerry Thornleigh Lee Oswald the garrison 782 00:42:52,760 --> 00:42:47,400 investigation what I think Oswald was up 783 00:42:55,250 --> 00:42:52,770 to was there's evidence that seems to 784 00:42:59,060 --> 00:42:55,260 suggest pretty clearly that he was 785 00:43:02,930 --> 00:42:59,070 recruited to be an intelligence asset a 786 00:43:07,960 --> 00:43:02,940 spy when he was over at in Otsuki Japan 787 00:43:17,350 --> 00:43:11,090 cover story that he was a screw-up and 788 00:43:19,820 --> 00:43:17,360 that he was you know was interested in 789 00:43:21,860 --> 00:43:19,830 Marxist ideology and all this was 790 00:43:25,750 --> 00:43:21,870 basically a cover i think his role there 791 00:43:28,490 --> 00:43:25,760 Datsyuk or at el toro where he met 792 00:43:31,160 --> 00:43:28,500 Thornleigh was basically to infiltrate 793 00:43:34,070 --> 00:43:31,170 the troops there and find out if anybody 794 00:43:36,140 --> 00:43:34,080 was a security risks and carry 795 00:43:38,300 --> 00:43:36,150 Thornleigh I'm sure he raised some flags 796 00:43:41,630 --> 00:43:38,310 this was not the wall the crazy 797 00:43:44,870 --> 00:43:41,640 character he would that once again this 798 00:43:46,820 --> 00:43:44,880 allowed to have discussions on all sort 799 00:43:49,180 --> 00:43:46,830 of different topics and was an avowed 800 00:43:51,680 --> 00:43:49,190 atheist and all of this so I think 801 00:43:54,560 --> 00:43:51,690 Oswald's rolled back then was probably 802 00:43:58,910 --> 00:43:54,570 just being a spy for the 803 00:44:01,790 --> 00:43:58,920 brass and then you know not long after 804 00:44:04,190 --> 00:44:01,800 he defected to Russia which a lot of 805 00:44:11,110 --> 00:44:04,200 people suspect he was on a spy mission 806 00:44:15,050 --> 00:44:11,120 when he was over there mmm now when you 807 00:44:18,410 --> 00:44:15,060 when you started looking into this this 808 00:44:22,100 --> 00:44:18,420 idea for your new book discordian ism 809 00:44:23,810 --> 00:44:22,110 how was it what brought you in what was 810 00:44:26,690 --> 00:44:23,820 the doorway that you went into that 811 00:44:29,720 --> 00:44:26,700 subject matter how did you get on into 812 00:44:31,820 --> 00:44:29,730 it we still haven't really discussed the 813 00:44:34,340 --> 00:44:31,830 score d anism indent it really so that's 814 00:44:37,190 --> 00:44:34,350 true too I did notice one thing and I 815 00:44:38,540 --> 00:44:37,200 was reading about it today and I noticed 816 00:44:41,510 --> 00:44:38,550 one thing that sounded really 817 00:44:44,260 --> 00:44:41,520 interesting and I totally agreed with it 818 00:44:49,730 --> 00:44:44,270 and it thought of it many times myself 819 00:44:53,360 --> 00:44:49,740 about how our reality is only our 820 00:44:56,300 --> 00:44:53,370 reality because that's what how we've 821 00:44:59,780 --> 00:44:56,310 been programmed we see reality as we've 822 00:45:01,940 --> 00:44:59,790 been taught as we've been programmed and 823 00:45:03,590 --> 00:45:01,950 if we were programmed in a different way 824 00:45:05,330 --> 00:45:03,600 if we even grew up in a different 825 00:45:07,940 --> 00:45:05,340 location or even in a different 826 00:45:09,980 --> 00:45:07,950 different ethnic group we would think 827 00:45:13,700 --> 00:45:09,990 differently our reality would be 828 00:45:17,020 --> 00:45:13,710 something different and to me that's 829 00:45:20,420 --> 00:45:17,030 been sort of at the heart of the 830 00:45:24,170 --> 00:45:20,430 problems in society is that we don't 831 00:45:26,660 --> 00:45:24,180 have the ability to see the other 832 00:45:29,240 --> 00:45:26,670 person's point of view we don't have the 833 00:45:32,990 --> 00:45:29,250 ability to step out of ourselves and put 834 00:45:36,800 --> 00:45:33,000 ourselves empathetically in their 835 00:45:39,830 --> 00:45:36,810 position and say that okay I understand 836 00:45:41,960 --> 00:45:39,840 why this is why he thinks this way and 837 00:45:45,200 --> 00:45:41,970 now I have to understand why I think the 838 00:45:47,600 --> 00:45:45,210 way that I do mm-hmm and to me that's 839 00:45:50,870 --> 00:45:47,610 that's very basic and that's a good 840 00:45:53,540 --> 00:45:50,880 thing now when I started reading further 841 00:45:55,700 --> 00:45:53,550 and people were assigning themselves 842 00:45:58,910 --> 00:45:55,710 these bizarre names and things like that 843 00:46:00,980 --> 00:45:58,920 I thought okay what's this all about and 844 00:46:03,680 --> 00:46:00,990 the more it started sounding like some 845 00:46:06,560 --> 00:46:03,690 kind of bizarre you know secret society 846 00:46:08,450 --> 00:46:06,570 thing so can you enlighten us a little 847 00:46:18,380 --> 00:46:08,460 bit more oh 848 00:46:20,240 --> 00:46:18,390 on the philosophy yeah um so I'll well 849 00:46:24,200 --> 00:46:20,250 how do I get started on this and I'll 850 00:46:26,210 --> 00:46:24,210 get into the philosophy was I that I was 851 00:46:27,500 --> 00:46:26,220 initially interested in cary Thornleigh 852 00:46:31,150 --> 00:46:27,510 because i had heard about him in the 853 00:46:35,270 --> 00:46:31,160 conspiracy world back in the day and 854 00:46:37,190 --> 00:46:35,280 it's kind of crazy character who was 855 00:46:41,300 --> 00:46:37,200 seem to be involved in all kinds of 856 00:46:43,940 --> 00:46:41,310 stuff not only knew Oswald was somehow 857 00:46:47,780 --> 00:46:43,950 connected the garrison investigation but 858 00:46:50,839 --> 00:46:47,790 he was also founded discordian ism this 859 00:46:53,240 --> 00:46:50,849 quote-unquote spoof religion and so that 860 00:46:56,240 --> 00:46:53,250 research led to the first book the 861 00:47:02,780 --> 00:46:56,250 prankster and the prankster and the 862 00:47:07,010 --> 00:47:02,790 conspiracy so you know thornley got out 863 00:47:09,260 --> 00:47:07,020 of the Marines in sixty or so and ended 864 00:47:13,640 --> 00:47:09,270 up on the french quarter of new orleans 865 00:47:15,230 --> 00:47:13,650 and that's where he got or that's where 866 00:47:17,359 --> 00:47:15,240 kind of some of the discordian 867 00:47:20,300 --> 00:47:17,369 activities ramped up his friend Greg 868 00:47:24,589 --> 00:47:20,310 Hill the guy co-founded scored Ian ism 869 00:47:27,349 --> 00:47:24,599 with him moved with Thornleigh to New 870 00:47:30,920 --> 00:47:27,359 Orleans this is gnarly 61 and so they 871 00:47:33,980 --> 00:47:30,930 started working on this spoof philosophy 872 00:47:38,109 --> 00:47:33,990 or religion which basically is kind of 873 00:47:42,760 --> 00:47:38,119 just I mean it has a lot of different 874 00:47:46,640 --> 00:47:42,770 purposes you know one scene a way to 875 00:47:48,290 --> 00:47:46,650 poke fun at organized religion for sure 876 00:47:52,670 --> 00:47:48,300 that was one of the reasons they got 877 00:47:57,500 --> 00:47:52,680 into discordian ism and also you know 878 00:48:00,380 --> 00:47:57,510 just to comment on the culture of the 879 00:48:03,410 --> 00:48:00,390 period and so they adopted their own 880 00:48:06,800 --> 00:48:03,420 discordian names such as Greg Hill the 881 00:48:09,109 --> 00:48:06,810 founder and the architect of the Bible 882 00:48:11,210 --> 00:48:09,119 of discordian principia discordia he was 883 00:48:14,210 --> 00:48:11,220 now the clips the younger and Carrie 884 00:48:16,520 --> 00:48:14,220 Thornleigh was born Omar Khayyam right 885 00:48:18,740 --> 00:48:16,530 Ravenhurst and they met other people in 886 00:48:21,020 --> 00:48:18,750 New Orleans during that period a guy 887 00:48:21,840 --> 00:48:21,030 named Roger Levin who adopted the name 888 00:48:25,080 --> 00:48:21,850 Fang the 889 00:48:28,200 --> 00:48:25,090 washed and sit so they started 890 00:48:34,050 --> 00:48:28,210 developing this quote-unquote spoof 891 00:48:37,050 --> 00:48:34,060 religion and published in around 65 the 892 00:48:39,510 --> 00:48:37,060 first edition of principia discordia or 893 00:48:42,420 --> 00:48:39,520 how the west was lost in this title and 894 00:48:45,510 --> 00:48:42,430 the legend was that there was only five 895 00:48:49,440 --> 00:48:45,520 copies published most of which were lost 896 00:48:54,390 --> 00:48:49,450 in the years to follow principia 897 00:48:58,080 --> 00:48:54,400 discordia changed and subsequent 898 00:49:02,370 --> 00:48:58,090 editions kind of morphed over time by so 899 00:49:04,500 --> 00:49:02,380 by 1969 it had become more of an art 900 00:49:07,440 --> 00:49:04,510 project shared between a bunch of people 901 00:49:09,780 --> 00:49:07,450 who correspond it in the mail and sent 902 00:49:12,360 --> 00:49:09,790 things back and forth so if you look at 903 00:49:14,370 --> 00:49:12,370 the first edition which is reproduced in 904 00:49:17,550 --> 00:49:14,380 my book a story the score tiat kind of 905 00:49:19,440 --> 00:49:17,560 ways out the structure of the religion 906 00:49:23,100 --> 00:49:19,450 and all this on and on all this 907 00:49:25,290 --> 00:49:23,110 technical stuff the later editions of 908 00:49:27,600 --> 00:49:25,300 principia discordia look more like a 909 00:49:30,960 --> 00:49:27,610 psychedelic collage with a bunch of 910 00:49:34,740 --> 00:49:30,970 aphorisms and psychedelic statements and 911 00:49:37,410 --> 00:49:34,750 so changed over a period of time and 912 00:49:39,750 --> 00:49:37,420 that's the addition most folks are 913 00:49:41,880 --> 00:49:39,760 familiar with these days is the fourth 914 00:49:43,980 --> 00:49:41,890 edition of the principia discordia and 915 00:49:46,260 --> 00:49:43,990 all the way different writers and 916 00:49:48,210 --> 00:49:46,270 artists got involved such as Robert 917 00:49:51,300 --> 00:49:48,220 Anton Wilson who you may be familiar 918 00:49:54,930 --> 00:49:51,310 with he was known as Mordecai the foul 919 00:49:57,360 --> 00:49:54,940 in the discordian society and so the 920 00:50:02,010 --> 00:49:57,370 principia discordia and Robert Anton 921 00:50:04,740 --> 00:50:02,020 Wilson relationship with like Kerry 922 00:50:09,480 --> 00:50:04,750 Thornleigh and Greg Hill influenced the 923 00:50:13,320 --> 00:50:09,490 illuminatus trilogy which you know as a 924 00:50:15,210 --> 00:50:13,330 became pretty huge in the counterculture 925 00:50:17,160 --> 00:50:15,220 in the late 70s and throughout the 926 00:50:20,010 --> 00:50:17,170 illuminatus trilogy which if you're not 927 00:50:24,090 --> 00:50:20,020 familiar with it it's this crazy sci fi 928 00:50:27,120 --> 00:50:24,100 conspiracy book that perceptions of 929 00:50:29,600 --> 00:50:27,130 reality is constantly shifting and point 930 00:50:33,150 --> 00:50:29,610 of view in the book and it talks about 931 00:50:35,010 --> 00:50:33,160 the grand conspiracy with the variant 932 00:50:39,060 --> 00:50:35,020 Illuminati on and on 933 00:50:40,860 --> 00:50:39,070 what a lot of this stuff came material 934 00:50:43,440 --> 00:50:40,870 for illuminatus came out of his 935 00:50:47,550 --> 00:50:43,450 interactions with grey killin Kerry 936 00:50:50,640 --> 00:50:47,560 Thornleigh in the late 60s and in fact 937 00:50:53,880 --> 00:50:50,650 the first book in the illuminatus 938 00:51:00,690 --> 00:50:53,890 trilogy is dedicated to carry Thornleigh 939 00:51:08,130 --> 00:51:00,700 Creek Hill entry you will you ask about 940 00:51:10,140 --> 00:51:08,140 the Illuminati yeah okay so in that get 941 00:51:12,150 --> 00:51:10,150 the white ties know wasn't it Robert 942 00:51:14,640 --> 00:51:12,160 Anton Wilson that declared himself the 943 00:51:17,670 --> 00:51:14,650 the head of the Illuminati or something 944 00:51:21,600 --> 00:51:17,680 like that no he declared himself the toe 945 00:51:23,790 --> 00:51:21,610 of the Illuminati oh that's a little 946 00:51:25,800 --> 00:51:23,800 joke there but that's when he shared 947 00:51:27,840 --> 00:51:25,810 with me because I asked him I ever 948 00:51:32,280 --> 00:51:27,850 viewed him for my book the prankster the 949 00:51:34,080 --> 00:51:32,290 conspiracy years ago and I asked Bob are 950 00:51:35,850 --> 00:51:34,090 you is it true that you're really the 951 00:51:39,420 --> 00:51:35,860 head of the Illuminati and he said 952 00:51:41,310 --> 00:51:39,430 knowing the toe was quite the answer I 953 00:51:43,620 --> 00:51:41,320 was looking for but I asked him well 954 00:51:45,750 --> 00:51:43,630 anyway since you're hooked up with the 955 00:51:49,020 --> 00:51:45,760 Illuminati can you point me a high 956 00:51:52,020 --> 00:51:49,030 priest in the Bavarian Illuminati and he 957 00:51:54,170 --> 00:51:52,030 did so so there you go i'm also with the 958 00:51:58,620 --> 00:51:54,180 Illuminati no there was there was 959 00:52:02,040 --> 00:51:58,630 because of illuminatus the trilogy gets 960 00:52:05,670 --> 00:52:02,050 pretty deep into the Bavarian Illuminati 961 00:52:07,890 --> 00:52:05,680 and Wilson and his co-author Robert che 962 00:52:10,130 --> 00:52:07,900 had a lot of knowledge about the 963 00:52:13,560 --> 00:52:10,140 Illuminati and so people began 964 00:52:17,150 --> 00:52:13,570 suspecting as xena people are ought to 965 00:52:19,680 --> 00:52:17,160 do in world of conspiracy theory that 966 00:52:23,700 --> 00:52:19,690 Wilson is a part of the Illuminati 967 00:52:26,340 --> 00:52:23,710 because Wilson had studied alternative 968 00:52:32,610 --> 00:52:26,350 religions and got involved in all kinds 969 00:52:35,790 --> 00:52:32,620 of esoteric sex and orders and just 970 00:52:38,310 --> 00:52:35,800 basically to research about all these 971 00:52:41,130 --> 00:52:38,320 different secret societies and such so 972 00:52:43,380 --> 00:52:41,140 the rumor started you know that he was 973 00:52:46,650 --> 00:52:43,390 perhaps the head of the Illuminati of 974 00:52:47,760 --> 00:52:46,660 course he'd never deny it well of course 975 00:52:50,430 --> 00:52:47,770 not 976 00:52:54,020 --> 00:52:50,440 but a lot of this interest in the 977 00:52:56,730 --> 00:52:54,030 Illuminati's goes back to the garrison 978 00:52:59,490 --> 00:52:56,740 investigation believe it or not which 979 00:53:03,120 --> 00:52:59,500 you know the Oliver Stone movie JFK was 980 00:53:06,090 --> 00:53:03,130 all about and so you know we talked a 981 00:53:11,370 --> 00:53:06,100 little about Kerry Thornleigh in Oswald 982 00:53:15,690 --> 00:53:11,380 and in 1967 you know garrison started 983 00:53:19,050 --> 00:53:15,700 his investigation and that during the 984 00:53:20,850 --> 00:53:19,060 course of that investigation he targeted 985 00:53:23,520 --> 00:53:20,860 different individuals and one of them 986 00:53:25,950 --> 00:53:23,530 was Kerry Thornleigh claiming that Kerry 987 00:53:29,610 --> 00:53:25,960 Thornleigh also the co-founder of 988 00:53:32,970 --> 00:53:29,620 discordian ISM was part of a the JFK 989 00:53:35,700 --> 00:53:32,980 assassination conspiracy that he was 990 00:53:39,600 --> 00:53:35,710 perhaps performed the role as one of the 991 00:53:44,070 --> 00:53:39,610 notorious Oswald doubles that he written 992 00:53:49,110 --> 00:53:44,080 his book Oswald that came out in 65 as a 993 00:53:51,590 --> 00:53:49,120 way to set up Oswald to portray him as 994 00:53:54,540 --> 00:53:51,600 you know alone that commie sympa 995 00:53:56,340 --> 00:53:54,550 Thornleigh had testified before the 996 00:53:59,280 --> 00:53:56,350 Warren Commission where he talked about 997 00:54:03,330 --> 00:53:59,290 his knowledge of Oswald and these type 998 00:54:05,730 --> 00:54:03,340 of things so Gareth garrison theorized 999 00:54:08,430 --> 00:54:05,740 that Thornleigh was in on the conspiracy 1000 00:54:10,380 --> 00:54:08,440 then that you know he lived in New 1001 00:54:13,530 --> 00:54:10,390 Orleans during that relevant period 1002 00:54:17,450 --> 00:54:13,540 where David Ferrie and guy banister and 1003 00:54:20,460 --> 00:54:17,460 all those guys were involved there so 1004 00:54:22,140 --> 00:54:20,470 that was kind of a historic keeps 1005 00:54:24,300 --> 00:54:22,150 getting more where to course Storm Lee 1006 00:54:27,120 --> 00:54:24,310 denied all of this I get more into all 1007 00:54:29,820 --> 00:54:27,130 this my latest one of my latest book 1008 00:54:31,410 --> 00:54:29,830 caught in the crossfire but in a way 1009 00:54:33,120 --> 00:54:31,420 during the course of all this you know 1010 00:54:36,180 --> 00:54:33,130 garrison have a lot of different 1011 00:54:38,280 --> 00:54:36,190 independent investigators showing up 1012 00:54:41,630 --> 00:54:38,290 their feet and different information one 1013 00:54:45,150 --> 00:54:41,640 of them was a guy named album Chapman 1014 00:54:47,340 --> 00:54:45,160 who part of his theory was that the 1015 00:54:50,010 --> 00:54:47,350 Bavarian Illuminati was somehow involved 1016 00:54:52,440 --> 00:54:50,020 in the JFK assassination this type of 1017 00:54:56,100 --> 00:54:52,450 thinking was kind of prevalent during 1018 00:55:00,460 --> 00:54:56,110 that period with john birch society that 1019 00:55:03,339 --> 00:55:00,470 somehow like Sirhan Sirhan for instance 1020 00:55:06,310 --> 00:55:03,349 corrupted by Madame Blavatsky and 1021 00:55:08,920 --> 00:55:06,320 theosophy and that trace back to be 1022 00:55:10,930 --> 00:55:08,930 Illuminati so these theories were 1023 00:55:13,920 --> 00:55:10,940 bouncing around and Carrie Thornleigh 1024 00:55:16,480 --> 00:55:13,930 heard this that the Bavarian Illuminati 1025 00:55:18,960 --> 00:55:16,490 this guy Ellen chattin about the 1026 00:55:22,599 --> 00:55:18,970 Bavarian Illuminati was in on JFK 1027 00:55:25,480 --> 00:55:22,609 assassination formerly thought was 1028 00:55:29,160 --> 00:55:25,490 hilarious so to kind of screw around 1029 00:55:32,349 --> 00:55:29,170 with garrison and his investigators 1030 00:55:34,780 --> 00:55:32,359 Thornleigh in cahoots with Robert Anton 1031 00:55:38,290 --> 00:55:34,790 Wilson a few others started they came up 1032 00:55:40,630 --> 00:55:38,300 with their kind of a phony stationery 1033 00:55:43,120 --> 00:55:40,640 for the Bavarian Illuminati informally 1034 00:55:46,750 --> 00:55:43,130 used his name of lamont i am leaving 1035 00:55:48,910 --> 00:55:46,760 host consent garrison letters and John 1036 00:55:51,310 --> 00:55:48,920 Birch Society letters and other people 1037 00:55:53,560 --> 00:55:51,320 letter saying yes we are with their and 1038 00:55:55,450 --> 00:55:53,570 Illuminati but we haven't we didn't come 1039 00:55:57,970 --> 00:55:55,460 here to we're not involved with the 1040 00:56:00,760 --> 00:55:57,980 assassinations come here to illuminate 1041 00:56:04,780 --> 00:56:00,770 you and start off something up these 1042 00:56:08,920 --> 00:56:04,790 fake letters you know and so that's kind 1043 00:56:11,349 --> 00:56:08,930 of how part of the mythos with the 1044 00:56:14,290 --> 00:56:11,359 Illuminati help spread during that 1045 00:56:16,240 --> 00:56:14,300 period at the same time Robert Anton 1046 00:56:20,530 --> 00:56:16,250 Wilson was working as an editor at 1047 00:56:24,760 --> 00:56:20,540 playboy for the Playboy forum both he 1048 00:56:28,560 --> 00:56:24,770 and Bob shade is co-writing illuminatus 1049 00:56:31,500 --> 00:56:28,570 trilogy we're working at the Playboy and 1050 00:56:35,230 --> 00:56:31,510 Wilson was editing the Playboy forum and 1051 00:56:36,940 --> 00:56:35,240 that was formed that dealt with civil 1052 00:56:40,420 --> 00:56:36,950 liberty issues and these type of things 1053 00:56:42,339 --> 00:56:40,430 and he was kind of a question-and-answer 1054 00:56:46,060 --> 00:56:42,349 format he'd answer different questions 1055 00:56:47,950 --> 00:56:46,070 and they he also got letters that didn't 1056 00:56:50,530 --> 00:56:47,960 make it into the plate we formed because 1057 00:56:52,839 --> 00:56:50,540 they were so far out about conspiracies 1058 00:56:54,460 --> 00:56:52,849 and these type of things he collected 1059 00:57:01,839 --> 00:56:54,470 these a lot of that material was used 1060 00:57:06,970 --> 00:57:01,849 for the illuminatus trilogy the in hmm 1061 00:57:08,110 --> 00:57:06,980 so in April 69 and the Playboy forum a 1062 00:57:11,320 --> 00:57:08,120 letter 1063 00:57:15,100 --> 00:57:11,330 was in there or a question somebody was 1064 00:57:16,980 --> 00:57:15,110 writing in asking if all the this person 1065 00:57:19,180 --> 00:57:16,990 writing the letter who was actually 1066 00:57:22,750 --> 00:57:19,190 Wilson pretending to be this person 1067 00:57:24,880 --> 00:57:22,760 writing the letter was asking about all 1068 00:57:28,810 --> 00:57:24,890 the political assassinations and that 1069 00:57:31,840 --> 00:57:28,820 some old strange man had told him that 1070 00:57:35,110 --> 00:57:31,850 the Illuminati were behind all the 1071 00:57:37,440 --> 00:57:35,120 political assassinations and Wilson 1072 00:57:40,840 --> 00:57:37,450 answered the letter that appeared in 1073 00:57:44,550 --> 00:57:40,850 Playboy at that time and it seemed to 1074 00:57:47,620 --> 00:57:44,560 help push forward this mythos of the 1075 00:57:50,080 --> 00:57:47,630 Bavarian Illuminati and Wilson later 1076 00:57:51,760 --> 00:57:50,090 wrote that he felt they kind of pushed a 1077 00:57:54,520 --> 00:57:51,770 magic button and all the sudden you 1078 00:57:56,620 --> 00:57:54,530 started hearing more stories about the 1079 00:57:59,350 --> 00:57:56,630 Illuminati from both sides of the 1080 00:58:04,150 --> 00:57:59,360 political spectrum from the religious 1081 00:58:08,620 --> 00:58:04,160 right to the liberal left all the sudden 1082 00:58:11,020 --> 00:58:08,630 seemed to enter the conversation of the 1083 00:58:14,470 --> 00:58:11,030 popular consciousness you know people 1084 00:58:16,750 --> 00:58:14,480 started bringing up the specter of the 1085 00:58:19,570 --> 00:58:16,760 Illuminati which they fleshed out even 1086 00:58:22,510 --> 00:58:19,580 more in the illuminatus trilogy of 1087 00:58:25,210 --> 00:58:22,520 course nowadays the Illuminati is 1088 00:58:28,270 --> 00:58:25,220 everywhere so in one way or another 1089 00:58:31,120 --> 00:58:28,280 Wilson and Shay had a big hand in 1090 00:58:33,430 --> 00:58:31,130 pushing forward this mythology about the 1091 00:58:37,420 --> 00:58:33,440 Illuminati Illuminati which is not to 1092 00:58:40,330 --> 00:58:37,430 say that they don't exist or having 1093 00:58:42,970 --> 00:58:40,340 exist or haven't done bad things whoever 1094 00:58:44,860 --> 00:58:42,980 they may be over the years so that's 1095 00:58:47,530 --> 00:58:44,870 kind of the background on how the 1096 00:58:51,280 --> 00:58:47,540 Discordians got involved with the 1097 00:58:53,200 --> 00:58:51,290 Bavarian Illuminati that's a wild that's 1098 00:58:56,290 --> 00:58:53,210 really weld I mean there's seems to be 1099 00:58:59,500 --> 00:58:56,300 such a trickster in prankster element to 1100 00:59:01,870 --> 00:58:59,510 the whole thing oh well part of it you 1101 00:59:03,850 --> 00:59:01,880 know the discordian philosophy was to 1102 00:59:07,870 --> 00:59:03,860 shake people out of their certain 1103 00:59:11,380 --> 00:59:07,880 paradigm mashina thinking and rigid with 1104 00:59:13,480 --> 00:59:11,390 rigid thinking you know and to kind of 1105 00:59:16,560 --> 00:59:13,490 blow those away and party a part of that 1106 00:59:19,780 --> 00:59:16,570 is adopting different these different 1107 00:59:22,330 --> 00:59:19,790 personalities and sending out these 1108 00:59:24,490 --> 00:59:22,340 wacky letters for instance to the John 1109 00:59:27,460 --> 00:59:24,500 Birch Society and folks of that nature 1110 00:59:34,450 --> 00:59:27,470 that one you know they were humorous 1111 00:59:37,480 --> 00:59:34,460 letters but also to perhaps change it 1112 00:59:40,660 --> 00:59:37,490 change people's

--> 01:05:13,059 himself up to buy all of this worship of 1200 01:05:18,720 --> 01:05:16,630 Eros and there was another thing that 1201 01:05:21,059 --> 01:05:18,730 was interesting that it ended up being a 1202 01:05:23,279 --> 01:05:21,069 goddess based religion and philosophy 1203 01:05:26,430 --> 01:05:23,289 which seems like that always pops up 1204 01:05:28,890 --> 01:05:26,440 when you're talking about secret 1205 01:05:31,109 --> 01:05:28,900 societies in the Illuminati and in 1206 01:05:33,359 --> 01:05:31,119 groups like the Knights Templar and 1207 01:05:36,089 --> 01:05:33,369 others it seems like that that was sort 1208 01:05:39,620 --> 01:05:36,099 of the big secret and even with some of 1209 01:05:43,950 --> 01:05:39,630 the founding fathers of our country that 1210 01:05:47,029 --> 01:05:43,960 secretly there was some interest in the 1211 01:05:49,950 --> 01:05:47,039 feminine or the you know feminine God 1212 01:05:52,920 --> 01:05:49,960 hmm right but it sounds like they almost 1213 01:05:56,160 --> 01:05:52,930 got into the feminine idea as an 1214 01:05:58,109 --> 01:05:56,170 accident when you know you said they 1215 01:06:01,019 --> 01:05:58,119 just brought up the idea of oh let's 1216 01:06:04,559 --> 01:06:01,029 create a church based on chaos and you 1217 01:06:07,470 --> 01:06:04,569 know in and the one guy said well 1218 01:06:09,269 --> 01:06:07,480 there's already a deity mirrors the 1219 01:06:12,269 --> 01:06:09,279 goddess of chaos and so it seemed like 1220 01:06:13,240 --> 01:06:12,279 it was almost accidental but maybe some 1221 01:06:16,180 --> 01:06:13,250 things 1222 01:06:19,620 --> 01:06:16,190 seem accidental but you know that's just 1223 01:06:22,180 --> 01:06:19,630 part of the way things occur possibly 1224 01:06:28,270 --> 01:06:22,190 yeah that's the way this crazy universe 1225 01:06:31,150 --> 01:06:28,280 works sometimes it seems to but so they 1226 01:06:33,190 --> 01:06:31,160 got all involved you know or Thornleigh 1227 01:06:35,170 --> 01:06:33,200 got all involved in this Kennedy 1228 01:06:37,780 --> 01:06:35,180 assassination investigation with Jim 1229 01:06:40,930 --> 01:06:37,790 Garrison and all that so things kind of 1230 01:06:44,530 --> 01:06:40,940 did they kind of sit there for a while 1231 01:06:50,020 --> 01:06:44,540 did did the ideas grow did were people 1232 01:06:55,170 --> 01:06:50,030 joining in how was it happening and did 1233 01:06:57,730 --> 01:06:55,180 people know about this at the time um 1234 01:07:01,690 --> 01:06:57,740 let me give give you a little background 1235 01:07:03,940 --> 01:07:01,700 and one of your folks in chat asked 1236 01:07:05,770 --> 01:07:03,950 about MK ULTRA program that's right 1237 01:07:08,350 --> 01:07:05,780 wanted to know if you might have been 1238 01:07:10,960 --> 01:07:08,360 used by or involved somehow in MK MK 1239 01:07:15,250 --> 01:07:10,970 ULTRA I think I hope they're referring 1240 01:07:18,280 --> 01:07:15,260 to carry Thornleigh and well I think 1241 01:07:19,900 --> 01:07:18,290 they were referring to you but uh well 1242 01:07:21,700 --> 01:07:19,910 there is a there is an MK ULTRA 1243 01:07:25,200 --> 01:07:21,710 connection here right but it's not you 1244 01:07:28,750 --> 01:07:25,210 it's cari Thornleigh right right and so 1245 01:07:32,080 --> 01:07:28,760 we talked about he had moved to New 1246 01:07:36,430 --> 01:07:32,090 Orleans in the early 60s that's kind of 1247 01:07:38,740 --> 01:07:36,440 pivotal to the story because Thornleigh 1248 01:07:42,160 --> 01:07:38,750 had a you know he was a budding writer 1249 01:07:44,800 --> 01:07:42,170 so he had this interest in meeting the 1250 01:07:49,060 --> 01:07:44,810 colorful characters there in New Orleans 1251 01:07:51,220 --> 01:07:49,070 and developing material for books and so 1252 01:07:54,040 --> 01:07:51,230 yeah he had this you know there was a 1253 01:07:57,370 --> 01:07:54,050 bohemian element there but he also had 1254 01:07:59,830 --> 01:07:57,380 the underworld element and people that 1255 01:08:03,640 --> 01:07:59,840 work in intelligence agencies perhaps 1256 01:08:05,740 --> 01:08:03,650 and so he met a couple of curious 1257 01:08:08,800 --> 01:08:05,750 characters who went by the name of Gary 1258 01:08:11,860 --> 01:08:08,810 Kirsten and slim Brooks and he engaged 1259 01:08:13,630 --> 01:08:11,870 them in conversations much like he had 1260 01:08:16,590 --> 01:08:13,640 talked to house walled about all kinds 1261 01:08:20,559 --> 01:08:16,600 of things under the Sun and at one point 1262 01:08:22,570 --> 01:08:20,569 they had a theoretical discussion about 1263 01:08:25,900 --> 01:08:22,580 how to kill a president and in 1264 01:08:27,610 --> 01:08:25,910 particular oh my JFK 1265 01:08:34,260 --> 01:08:27,620 and Thornleigh at the time thought this 1266 01:08:37,930 --> 01:08:34,270 was just the basically you know a morbid 1267 01:08:41,560 --> 01:08:37,940 theoretical intellectual exercise but 1268 01:08:44,740 --> 01:08:41,570 later these words he these conversations 1269 01:08:47,350 --> 01:08:44,750 would come back to haunt him so we move 1270 01:08:53,560 --> 01:08:47,360 forward in time we're getting to the 1271 01:08:56,740 --> 01:08:53,570 MKULTRA stuff here thornley had served 1272 01:08:59,740 --> 01:08:56,750 with Oswald osugi airbase I talked about 1273 01:09:02,290 --> 01:08:59,750 that before and it was revealed like in 1274 01:09:06,270 --> 01:09:02,300 the mid 80s there was an exposé 1275 01:09:09,630 --> 01:09:06,280 enrollees stone that otsuki was the 1276 01:09:12,310 --> 01:09:09,640 really the main installation for the CIA 1277 01:09:14,740 --> 01:09:12,320 overseas one of the main critical 1278 01:09:18,010 --> 01:09:14,750 installations and during the MKULTRA 1279 01:09:21,310 --> 01:09:18,020 period that's where they stored all the 1280 01:09:25,000 --> 01:09:21,320 LSD and they were testing on the troops 1281 01:09:27,340 --> 01:09:25,010 you know there during that period the 1282 01:09:30,370 --> 01:09:27,350 other main storehouse for LSD was at 1283 01:09:33,460 --> 01:09:30,380 manila and the Philippines were the room 1284 01:09:35,890 --> 01:09:33,470 carry Thornleigh also served so keep 1285 01:09:38,620 --> 01:09:35,900 keep that off to the side here for a 1286 01:09:40,630 --> 01:09:38,630 minute so in the early 70s Thornleigh 1287 01:09:44,170 --> 01:09:40,640 was in New York with his buddy Greg Hill 1288 01:09:49,090 --> 01:09:44,180 once again where he came across he was 1289 01:09:53,200 --> 01:09:49,100 at a concert there and some park 1290 01:09:55,000 --> 01:09:53,210 somewhere and he came across a magazine 1291 01:09:58,120 --> 01:09:55,010 called the hipster times which the 1292 01:10:00,340 --> 01:09:58,130 hippies put out and in in this magazine 1293 01:10:02,140 --> 01:10:00,350 there was an article about the three 1294 01:10:05,280 --> 01:10:02,150 tramps you know that they picked up in 1295 01:10:08,950 --> 01:10:05,290 daley plaza sure heard about those guys 1296 01:10:12,550 --> 01:10:08,960 and the author of this article AJ Weber 1297 01:10:15,130 --> 01:10:12,560 Minh proposed the theory that one of 1298 01:10:19,120 --> 01:10:15,140 those tramps was a Howard hunt the 1299 01:10:21,730 --> 01:10:19,130 famous CIA agent a mini a connected to 1300 01:10:23,350 --> 01:10:21,740 the JFK assassination and whoever Minh 1301 01:10:25,960 --> 01:10:23,360 later came out with a book called coup 1302 01:10:28,690 --> 01:10:25,970 d'etat America which had these acetate 1303 01:10:31,210 --> 01:10:28,700 photo overlays she could take a V Howard 1304 01:10:34,300 --> 01:10:31,220 hunt put it over the old man and 1305 01:10:36,250 --> 01:10:34,310 Daley Plaza matched up exactly anyway 1306 01:10:38,570 --> 01:10:36,260 when Thornleigh saw this material he 1307 01:10:40,340 --> 01:10:38,580 went oh crap 1308 01:10:43,820 --> 01:10:40,350 that's the same guy had those 1309 01:10:47,900 --> 01:10:43,830 conversations with in New Orleans in the 1310 01:10:50,750 --> 01:10:47,910 early 60s about killing JFK he thought 1311 01:10:52,880 --> 01:10:50,760 and he began to suspect that he was 1312 01:10:55,070 --> 01:10:52,890 being set up at that time perhaps in the 1313 01:10:58,400 --> 01:10:55,080 same way that Oswald might have been set 1314 01:11:00,860 --> 01:10:58,410 up and after he was exposed to this 1315 01:11:03,290 --> 01:11:00,870 material like a floodgate of memories 1316 01:11:08,720 --> 01:11:03,300 started opening up to him and he had all 1317 01:11:12,100 --> 01:11:08,730 these memories of things he either had 1318 01:11:15,050 --> 01:11:12,110 amnesia or been my control or something 1319 01:11:17,410 --> 01:11:15,060 about his things that had gone in New 1320 01:11:20,540 --> 01:11:17,420 Orleans related to the JFK assassination 1321 01:11:22,160 --> 01:11:20,550 and he began to suspect during this 1322 01:11:25,760 --> 01:11:22,170 period that he'd been a victim of 1323 01:11:28,760 --> 01:11:25,770 MKULTRA mind control perhaps it had been 1324 01:11:31,130 --> 01:11:28,770 initiated when he was at su DIA others 1325 01:11:33,530 --> 01:11:31,140 have made the same claim for Oswald 1326 01:11:37,760 --> 01:11:33,540 there was some curious stuff stories 1327 01:11:40,400 --> 01:11:37,770 about Oswald related to MK ULTRA and LSD 1328 01:11:43,690 --> 01:11:40,410 and so he suspected that he and Oswald 1329 01:11:46,940 --> 01:11:43,700 might have been used as both as I 1330 01:11:49,610 --> 01:11:46,950 patsies Oswald was used as a patsy in 1331 01:11:53,390 --> 01:11:49,620 the JFK assassination presumably and 1332 01:11:55,580 --> 01:11:53,400 formally suspected he might have was 1333 01:11:58,850 --> 01:11:55,590 going to be used as a fallback patsy if 1334 01:12:02,240 --> 01:11:58,860 the Oswald said it hadn't gone the way 1335 01:12:06,590 --> 01:12:02,250 it did and made him what made him feel 1336 01:12:10,250 --> 01:12:06,600 that he had been used by MK ULTRA did he 1337 01:12:15,130 --> 01:12:10,260 feel like he'd been dosed with acid did 1338 01:12:17,750 --> 01:12:15,140 he what were the signs that he felt like 1339 01:12:20,240 --> 01:12:17,760 well was it just because the way things 1340 01:12:22,580 --> 01:12:20,250 were coming down he just suspected that 1341 01:12:24,800 --> 01:12:22,590 well all these coincidence started 1342 01:12:27,320 --> 01:12:24,810 coming up where he had these memories he 1343 01:12:30,050 --> 01:12:27,330 remembered the meeting Clay Shaw and gai 1344 01:12:33,230 --> 01:12:30,060 pan astir and all these guys and was 1345 01:12:35,810 --> 01:12:33,240 like and in the years to follow he 1346 01:12:39,380 --> 01:12:35,820 became really a paranoid schizophrenic 1347 01:12:41,930 --> 01:12:39,390 by the mid 70s and felt everybody was in 1348 01:12:44,750 --> 01:12:41,940 on the conspiracy including even he 1349 01:12:48,919 --> 01:12:44,760 suspected it one point Robert own Anton 1350 01:12:51,229 --> 01:12:48,929 Wilson was a CIA handler so what 1351 01:12:56,149 --> 01:12:51,239 cause this was he the actually the 1352 01:12:59,179 --> 01:12:56,159 victim of hmm MK ULTRA operations drove 1353 01:13:01,009 --> 01:12:59,189 him bonkers or you know what came first 1354 01:13:05,540 --> 01:13:01,019 the chicken or the egg that what is 1355 01:13:08,390 --> 01:13:05,550 right interesting is that he Howard hunt 1356 01:13:11,330 --> 01:13:08,400 once again turns out that he was 1357 01:13:16,270 --> 01:13:11,340 stationed in Otsuki during the same 1358 01:13:20,379 --> 01:13:16,280 period Oswald normally were there oh wow 1359 01:13:25,009 --> 01:13:20,389 that Thornleigh became your classic 1360 01:13:28,850 --> 01:13:25,019 clinical paranoid schizophrenic but he 1361 01:13:30,799 --> 01:13:28,860 also you know had all the different 1362 01:13:34,189 --> 01:13:30,809 elements when people are talking about 1363 01:13:36,199 --> 01:13:34,199 MKULTRA mind control victims normally 1364 01:13:39,709 --> 01:13:36,209 was experience all that same stuff 1365 01:13:41,359 --> 01:13:39,719 voices in his head he was convinced at 1366 01:13:45,410 --> 01:13:41,369 one time that there was some kind of 1367 01:13:49,790 --> 01:13:45,420 implant transmitter that had been 1368 01:13:53,120 --> 01:13:49,800 inserted in his certain into his brain 1369 01:13:56,419 --> 01:13:53,130 somehow or some so he all this stuff was 1370 01:13:59,569 --> 01:13:56,429 going on and everywhere he went you know 1371 01:14:03,229 --> 01:13:59,579 during a certain purity felt he was 1372 01:14:05,239 --> 01:14:03,239 being followed and all related to his 1373 01:14:07,759 --> 01:14:05,249 knowledge regarding the JFK 1374 01:14:11,449 --> 01:14:07,769 assassination but it's funny in later 1375 01:14:14,870 --> 01:14:11,459 years thornleigh got on medication kind 1376 01:14:17,479 --> 01:14:14,880 of pulled his life together so that you 1377 01:14:20,089 --> 01:14:17,489 know that at its worst you know there's 1378 01:14:23,029 --> 01:14:20,099 only a couple of years where he was 1379 01:14:25,399 --> 01:14:23,039 really deep into that funk of being a 1380 01:14:27,319 --> 01:14:25,409 paranoid schizophrenic came out of that 1381 01:14:30,560 --> 01:14:27,329 in later years we talked about he worked 1382 01:14:32,120 --> 01:14:30,570 with ron bond aluminum present his books 1383 01:14:34,489 --> 01:14:32,130 were published and i interviewed a lot 1384 01:14:36,520 --> 01:14:34,499 of people who knew Thornleigh's later 1385 01:14:40,129 --> 01:14:36,530 years he lived in Little Five Points 1386 01:14:43,160 --> 01:14:40,139 Atlantic kind of a bohemian hippie area 1387 01:14:45,679 --> 01:14:43,170 there mm-hmm and in durably a lot of 1388 01:14:47,750 --> 01:14:45,689 people shared the same stories 1389 01:14:51,709 --> 01:14:47,760 they'd be out say at a party at a 1390 01:14:53,479 --> 01:14:51,719 restaurant with Thornleigh and thorne 1391 01:14:55,699 --> 01:14:53,489 Kerry Thornleigh would leave after a 1392 01:14:58,219 --> 01:14:55,709 while and other people would show up 1393 01:14:59,919 --> 01:14:58,229 asking questions about Kerry Thornleigh 1394 01:15:03,400 --> 01:14:59,929 willing to buy people drinks and 1395 01:15:06,650 --> 01:15:03,410 inevitably the conversation 1396 01:15:09,920 --> 01:15:06,660 get into the JFK assassination this 1397 01:15:11,930 --> 01:15:09,930 happened or the let's do several people 1398 01:15:14,420 --> 01:15:11,940 I know so there's always that specter of 1399 01:15:16,040 --> 01:15:14,430 men and black kind of following Carey 1400 01:15:20,270 --> 01:15:16,050 Thornleigh around throughout his whole 1401 01:15:23,420 --> 01:15:20,280 life now Carrie Thornleigh is he's still 1402 01:15:26,350 --> 01:15:23,430 with us now he died he was one of the 1403 01:15:30,620 --> 01:15:26,360 big three that died in the late 90s 1404 01:15:33,830 --> 01:15:30,630 along with Jim Keith formerly was part 1405 01:15:39,740 --> 01:15:33,840 of that bunch at illuminate the press so 1406 01:15:43,040 --> 01:15:39,750 in a dress warmly died in 98 round on 1407 01:15:45,530 --> 01:15:43,050 Thanksgiving and he claimed it was a 1408 01:15:48,530 --> 01:15:45,540 rare kidney disease that he died of and 1409 01:15:51,560 --> 01:15:48,540 he suspected up until the end that it 1410 01:15:54,340 --> 01:15:51,570 was all related to the conspiracy that 1411 01:15:57,770 --> 01:15:54,350 he'd been somehow poisoned or something 1412 01:16:01,700 --> 01:15:57,780 well I mean normally people do not 1413 01:16:05,480 --> 01:16:01,710 recover from paranoid schizophrenia so 1414 01:16:07,760 --> 01:16:05,490 if he is genuinely schizophrenic on his 1415 01:16:11,080 --> 01:16:07,770 own then he wouldn't have gotten better 1416 01:16:13,910 --> 01:16:11,090 but if it was somehow induced then it's 1417 01:16:16,880 --> 01:16:13,920 you know it's more credible that he 1418 01:16:19,550 --> 01:16:16,890 would be able to somehow come out of it 1419 01:16:21,440 --> 01:16:19,560 at some later time so it sort of lends 1420 01:16:22,940 --> 01:16:21,450 itself to the fact that it there was 1421 01:16:25,310 --> 01:16:22,950 some sort of intervention or 1422 01:16:27,620 --> 01:16:25,320 interference there mmhmm yeah perhaps 1423 01:16:30,500 --> 01:16:27,630 one thing about thorn he was a real 1424 01:16:34,190 --> 01:16:30,510 unique in individual as you might have 1425 01:16:37,240 --> 01:16:34,200 gathered and one of his friends told me 1426 01:16:41,030 --> 01:16:37,250 that was the interesting thing about 1427 01:16:43,010 --> 01:16:41,040 Thornleigh he was the only paranoid that 1428 01:16:44,890 --> 01:16:43,020 she knew and this is my friend Lewis 1429 01:16:47,770 --> 01:16:44,900 Lacey told me he was friends with 1430 01:16:50,540 --> 01:16:47,780 Thornleigh she said he was the only 1431 01:16:53,060 --> 01:16:50,550 paranoid schizophrenic she ever knew 1432 01:16:56,570 --> 01:16:53,070 that was able to retain a sense of humor 1433 01:17:00,020 --> 01:16:56,580 even during that period where he went 1434 01:17:04,520 --> 01:17:00,030 into this deep schizophrenic fog and you 1435 01:17:08,180 --> 01:17:04,530 know medication can do can help do 1436 01:17:10,250 --> 01:17:08,190 wonders as well so well that's true too 1437 01:17:12,770 --> 01:17:10,260 if he got better because of medication 1438 01:17:15,439 --> 01:17:12,780 then that's one thing if he just you 1439 01:17:19,609 --> 01:17:15,449 know came out of it somehow that 1440 01:17:21,680 --> 01:17:19,619 something as far as far as I've got this 1441 01:17:25,729 --> 01:17:21,690 from different sources that yeah he was 1442 01:17:29,359 --> 01:17:25,739 on did get on medication at some point 1443 01:17:31,759 --> 01:17:29,369 and that help smooth over now you 1444 01:17:34,370 --> 01:17:31,769 mentioned Louise Lacey she was part of 1445 01:17:37,729 --> 01:17:34,380 this movement right yeah do you know 1446 01:17:40,640 --> 01:17:37,739 Lewis no I don't I just get was reading 1447 01:17:43,219 --> 01:17:40,650 about her eat that she was part of that 1448 01:17:46,189 --> 01:17:43,229 group and you say she's a friend of 1449 01:17:49,850 --> 01:17:46,199 yours mm-hmm yep well sure I gotta I 1450 01:17:53,750 --> 01:17:49,860 gotta ask are you a discordian yes I am 1451 01:17:56,540 --> 01:17:53,760 oh I had a funny feeling about that how 1452 01:17:58,699 --> 01:17:56,550 could how could I not be with having had 1453 01:18:01,580 --> 01:17:58,709 the discordian archives passed on to me 1454 01:18:03,680 --> 01:18:01,590 and my discordian name is the wrong 1455 01:18:08,870 --> 01:18:03,690 Reverend Houdini Kundalini of the Church 1456 01:18:12,410 --> 01:18:08,880 of unwavering indifference I like that 1457 01:18:16,790 --> 01:18:12,420 oh that's funny uh did you when did you 1458 01:18:19,160 --> 01:18:16,800 cross over uh was well you know what 1459 01:18:21,169 --> 01:18:19,170 I've first got into this stuff I was 1460 01:18:24,379 --> 01:18:21,179 interested in cary Thornleigh you know 1461 01:18:26,680 --> 01:18:24,389 not so much discordian ism right but 1462 01:18:29,270 --> 01:18:26,690 just Thornleigh's crazy life and that 1463 01:18:32,870 --> 01:18:29,280 led to the first book the prankster in 1464 01:18:35,390 --> 01:18:32,880 the conspiracy it was like 2003 and so i 1465 01:18:37,609 --> 01:18:35,400 got involved with you know interviewing 1466 01:18:40,850 --> 01:18:37,619 some of these old-school discordian ism 1467 01:18:44,379 --> 01:18:40,860 and I just grew to appreciate over time 1468 01:18:47,330 --> 01:18:44,389 and eventually I made that bold leap and 1469 01:18:49,549 --> 01:18:47,340 it came up open the Discordians society 1470 01:18:51,859 --> 01:18:49,559 which anybody can be a hoe analed 1471 01:18:54,620 --> 01:18:51,869 sporting society all you have to do is 1472 01:18:58,699 --> 01:18:54,630 say that you are yeah they have female 1473 01:19:03,290 --> 01:18:58,709 popes well of course Louisa is a pope 1474 01:19:06,770 --> 01:19:03,300 and her discordian name is lady l f a b 1475 01:19:12,199 --> 01:19:06,780 and there's a interesting story behind 1476 01:19:14,359 --> 01:19:12,209 that name lewis worked the you know all 1477 01:19:17,899 --> 01:19:14,369 of the Discordians were writers and 1478 01:19:21,100 --> 01:19:17,909 artists and whatnot and she i read i 1479 01:19:23,510 --> 01:19:21,110 read the meaning of that name it was if 1480 01:19:26,000 --> 01:19:23,520 something that Eldridge Cleaver had said 1481 01:19:29,240 --> 01:19:26,010 it I guess they were friends yeah they 1482 01:19:33,620 --> 01:19:29,250 both work for ramparts magazine in fact 1483 01:19:35,560 --> 01:19:33,630 Louise was the research director for the 1484 01:19:39,020 --> 01:19:35,570 research on the Kennedy assassination 1485 01:19:42,439 --> 01:19:39,030 ramparts is one of the first magazines 1486 01:19:46,250 --> 01:19:42,449 to really tackle that subject you know 1487 01:19:50,180 --> 01:19:46,260 this was in the mid-60s before a lot of 1488 01:19:51,320 --> 01:19:50,190 the popular press even willing to 1489 01:19:53,629 --> 01:19:51,330 entertain theories there was a 1490 01:19:55,970 --> 01:19:53,639 conspiracy anyway she was working there 1491 01:19:58,100 --> 01:19:55,980 ramparts and she showed up one day in 1492 01:20:02,419 --> 01:19:58,110 Eldridge Cleaver who also worked at 1493 01:20:03,979 --> 01:20:02,429 grand parts during this period was there 1494 01:20:06,200 --> 01:20:03,989 in the office with some other guy and 1495 01:20:10,220 --> 01:20:06,210 the other guy said to cleaver hey here 1496 01:20:13,189 --> 01:20:10,230 comes that in Arcis and 1497 01:20:15,280 --> 01:20:13,199 cleaver said hey man she's my friend 1498 01:20:20,899 --> 01:20:15,290 she's a good lady she taught me how to 1499 01:20:26,570 --> 01:20:20,909 eat artichokes and so anyway that's how 1500 01:20:28,970 --> 01:20:26,580 the name came lady ill fa fa be I guess 1501 01:20:34,820 --> 01:20:28,980 we can bleep that out later oh I'm sorry 1502 01:20:36,560 --> 01:20:34,830 no it's okay I'm just joking annoyed 1503 01:20:39,939 --> 01:20:36,570 anyway I mean I'm the one that drew it 1504 01:20:46,899 --> 01:20:39,949 out of you so don't worry about it yes 1505 01:20:51,770 --> 01:20:46,909 but so now so if you are a I guess a 1506 01:20:56,209 --> 01:20:51,780 follower or a proponent of discordian 1507 01:20:59,000 --> 01:20:56,219 ism how does that apply in your everyday 1508 01:21:02,419 --> 01:20:59,010 life I mean are there certain principles 1509 01:21:06,280 --> 01:21:02,429 that are set out for people to live 1510 01:21:09,649 --> 01:21:06,290 across the room there's no rules at all 1511 01:21:14,359 --> 01:21:09,659 and I'm a famous discordian saying is we 1512 01:21:16,550 --> 01:21:14,369 discord ians must stick apart aha I was 1513 01:21:19,459 --> 01:21:16,560 going to say because in a way it seems 1514 01:21:23,629 --> 01:21:19,469 like if there is some sort of philosophy 1515 01:21:25,520 --> 01:21:23,639 and especially you know with the signing 1516 01:21:27,979 --> 01:21:25,530 of names and things like that maybe 1517 01:21:29,780 --> 01:21:27,989 there's no hierarchy but it seemed like 1518 01:21:32,419 --> 01:21:29,790 it was almost getting on the verge of 1519 01:21:34,040 --> 01:21:32,429 organizing and I was thinking yeah oh I 1520 01:21:36,140 --> 01:21:34,050 smell trouble it 1521 01:21:38,270 --> 01:21:36,150 you know when things start organizing 1522 01:21:41,060 --> 01:21:38,280 that's when the trouble begins well 1523 01:21:44,000 --> 01:21:41,070 especially if your organization or a 1524 01:21:47,510 --> 01:21:44,010 group based on chaos I would think an 1525 01:21:50,870 --> 01:21:47,520 organization would be sort of anti anti 1526 01:21:54,290 --> 01:21:50,880 anti yeah exactly well see that's what 1527 01:21:55,850 --> 01:21:54,300 in the early days great kill and carry 1528 01:21:57,950 --> 01:21:55,860 Thornleigh you know when they first 1529 01:22:02,270 --> 01:21:57,960 started it they were the only ones that 1530 01:22:05,000 --> 01:22:02,280 could actually what he call make people 1531 01:22:08,660 --> 01:22:05,010 Pope's in the Discordians society but 1532 01:22:11,209 --> 01:22:08,670 like in 69 or so Greg Hill had the 1533 01:22:14,270 --> 01:22:11,219 revelation that that's a bunch of BS you 1534 01:22:17,839 --> 01:22:14,280 know anybody should be able to declare 1535 01:22:19,879 --> 01:22:17,849 them selves Pope's any time they want to 1536 01:22:23,209 --> 01:22:19,889 and that's when the Discordians society 1537 01:22:25,040 --> 01:22:23,219 kind of changed its focus during that 1538 01:22:29,209 --> 01:22:25,050 period you note as far as an over 1539 01:22:31,069 --> 01:22:29,219 arching philosophy or doctrines or 1540 01:22:35,479 --> 01:22:31,079 whatever there really isn't any I mean 1541 01:22:38,419 --> 01:22:35,489 my take on it is yeah we do live in a 1542 01:22:41,000 --> 01:22:38,429 chaotic universe so why does that 1543 01:22:44,540 --> 01:22:41,010 necessarily have to be a bad thing you 1544 01:22:47,209 --> 01:22:44,550 know embrace the chaos kind of the go 1545 01:22:51,740 --> 01:22:47,219 with the flow and let it lead you were 1546 01:22:55,310 --> 01:22:51,750 at me is it all based on chaos or is it 1547 01:22:58,129 --> 01:22:55,320 sort of order and disorder I'm yeah it's 1548 01:23:00,350 --> 01:22:58,139 used it seems like sort of almost a you 1549 01:23:03,740 --> 01:23:00,360 know again sort of there's some Gnostic 1550 01:23:05,990 --> 01:23:03,750 sort of title underpinnings there with 1551 01:23:09,740 --> 01:23:06,000 the sort of the dark and the light and 1552 01:23:11,780 --> 01:23:09,750 the opposites and order and chaos and 1553 01:23:14,240 --> 01:23:11,790 you know yeah it's very observant other 1554 01:23:16,729 --> 01:23:14,250 people have pointed that out to me that 1555 01:23:19,280 --> 01:23:16,739 there's some similarities with 1556 01:23:21,799 --> 01:23:19,290 Gnosticism mm-hmm and I'm not that 1557 01:23:24,140 --> 01:23:21,809 familiar with the Gnosticism but the and 1558 01:23:27,080 --> 01:23:24,150 if you look at the symbol of discordian 1559 01:23:33,350 --> 01:23:27,090 ism it's called the sacred cow sacred 1560 01:23:37,939 --> 01:23:33,360 cow or you know spell chaos k ka l CH a 1561 01:23:41,080 --> 01:23:37,949 of the sacred cow sigma h KS and so 1562 01:23:43,580 --> 01:23:41,090 that's a symbol of discordian ism which 1563 01:23:46,649 --> 01:23:43,590 allegedly was revealed to Thornleigh in 1564 01:23:49,509 --> 01:23:46,659 him that bowling alley and 1565 01:23:51,520 --> 01:23:49,519 back back way back when when they had a 1566 01:23:54,160 --> 01:23:51,530 vision and all the bowlers and the 1567 01:23:56,500 --> 01:23:54,170 bowling alley frozen a chimpanzee 1568 01:23:58,870 --> 01:23:56,510 appeared to them holding the sacred cow 1569 01:24:00,850 --> 01:23:58,880 and if you look at that symbol noon find 1570 01:24:03,219 --> 01:24:00,860 it anywhere on the internet it's like 1571 01:24:05,589 --> 01:24:03,229 the yin and yang yeah I'm looking at it 1572 01:24:07,870 --> 01:24:05,599 yeah dude it's me but it's they call it 1573 01:24:12,819 --> 01:24:07,880 the Hajin podge on one side you have the 1574 01:24:18,250 --> 01:24:12,829 Pentagon yep which basically depicts 1575 01:24:20,700 --> 01:24:18,260 what they called an aristocrat on the 1576 01:24:27,040 --> 01:24:20,710 other side is the Golden Apple which 1577 01:24:29,770 --> 01:24:27,050 relates the story of Eros and you know 1578 01:24:32,319 --> 01:24:29,780 the let's call the story well there's a 1579 01:24:35,649 --> 01:24:32,329 whole story behind that but the Golden 1580 01:24:37,870 --> 01:24:35,659 Apple is another form of chaos so 1581 01:24:40,989 --> 01:24:37,880 there's the two conflicting forms of 1582 01:24:43,899 --> 01:24:40,999 chaos what is the more creative and the 1583 01:24:46,600 --> 01:24:43,909 other is the more controlling and so 1584 01:24:51,549 --> 01:24:46,610 that's kind of the hodge podge those two 1585 01:24:55,600 --> 01:24:51,559 forces counterbalancing each other mmm 1586 01:24:59,709 --> 01:24:55,610 interesting crazy but yeah there is 1587 01:25:02,319 --> 01:24:59,719 definitely some Gnostic elements in the 1588 01:25:08,140 --> 01:25:02,329 whole idea of the feminine to is sort of 1589 01:25:10,589 --> 01:25:08,150 a bit of a gnostic idea yeah that's 1590 01:25:13,359 --> 01:25:10,599 that's interesting you brought that up 1591 01:25:17,410 --> 01:25:13,369 occasionally we'll have guest guest post 1592 01:25:19,330 --> 01:25:17,420 at the website the story discordia which 1593 01:25:24,250 --> 01:25:19,340 deals with all these discordian archives 1594 01:25:28,600 --> 01:25:24,260 and the fellow by the name of shuksan 1595 01:25:30,899 --> 01:25:28,610 forgetting his name now robert is what 1596 01:25:35,109 --> 01:25:30,909 happens when you get older but anyway he 1597 01:25:37,450 --> 01:25:35,119 wrote a whole host devoted to the theme 1598 01:25:42,160 --> 01:25:37,460 of the similarities between the score d 1599 01:25:44,979 --> 01:25:42,170 anism and Gnosticism hmm yeah a few 1600 01:25:47,700 --> 01:25:44,989 weeks ago we had on Timothy Wiley 1601 01:25:51,959 --> 01:25:47,710 talking about the processed church and 1602 01:25:55,569 --> 01:25:51,969 there were some I noticed some the same 1603 01:25:58,660 --> 01:25:55,579 ideas you know the the opposites the 1604 01:25:59,260 --> 01:25:58,670 mirrors in the can't help you wonder if 1605 01:26:02,200 --> 01:25:59,270 you ever 1606 01:26:05,800 --> 01:26:02,210 darkness and the light right exactly so 1607 01:26:08,440 --> 01:26:05,810 I think there's truth now is there a 1608 01:26:13,090 --> 01:26:08,450 process church connection to discordian 1609 01:26:15,820 --> 01:26:13,100 ISM was there uh if you look deeply 1610 01:26:19,860 --> 01:26:15,830 enough everything's connected there's a 1611 01:26:26,680 --> 01:26:22,720 there's some very tenuous connections 1612 01:26:29,770 --> 01:26:26,690 that are so obscured to even go into it 1613 01:26:31,390 --> 01:26:29,780 here would be a five minutes story that 1614 01:26:33,550 --> 01:26:31,400 leave you scratching your head you know 1615 01:26:34,750 --> 01:26:33,560 but yeah since we only have four and a 1616 01:26:37,530 --> 01:26:34,760 half minute or three and a half minutes 1617 01:26:40,090 --> 01:26:37,540 left I guess we can't do that one yeah 1618 01:26:42,940 --> 01:26:40,100 they're yeah there are sooo Bay 1619 01:26:44,920 --> 01:26:42,950 connections an interesting one with 1620 01:26:48,700 --> 01:26:44,930 Charles
