Let there be peace for I am with you. Esu Sananda present to finalize this portion. Satan’s drummers? Oh yes, there is a drum-beat, a cadence, a pulse rhythm to Satan’s march. It is loud to the extreme, chaotic to total confusion, repetitious and absolutely geared to the mind acceptance. The physical will turn from the cacophony of chaos into the inner subconscious state of shocked withdrawal--then, the words, suggestions and instructions are poured forth in unclouded clarity. Just as severe physical trauma causes a body to withdraw into shock and memory loss, so does terror and pain cause the same withdrawal. Evil is practiced in all methods and manners of destruction to a being.
VENOM, JUDAS PRIEST, MEGADEATH, KISS, SLAYER, KING DIAMOND, OZZIE OSBOURNE, ROLLING STONES, BLACK SABBATH, IRON MAIDEN, MERCIFUL FATE, AC/DC, METALLICA, LED ZEPPELIN, DEADROCKERS AND ETC., ETC., ETC. (Your babies and children can finish the above list for you.) Oh, you don’t know what I mean? GO TO YOUR LOCAL MUSIC ALBUM DISTRIBUTION CENTER AND YOUR MUSIC VIDEO OFFERING PLACES.
It is most interesting to note that some public persons and some parents went to battle over the lewd filth and degradation of this music and what resulted is as follows: Anything with pornographic, criminal or whatever else “mundane” material accepted as undesirable, must now be labeled as dangerous. All of your above groups who call themselves Heavy Metal or Acid Rock “musicians” fell into this classification.
What has happened? As of five days ago the announcement came forth in the casual manner that only news broadcasters can perform: “The labeling has had a dual effect--the labels must be printed on the album cover but record sales are being recorded by purchasers who have never before purchased this type of music.”
IN OTHER WORDS, GET THIS BOOK BANNED AND TWO-THIRDS OF YOUR POPULATION WILL GO UNDERGROUND AND THROUGH ILLEGAL MEASURES TO OBTAIN IT! IT IS THE SAME WITH MAKING A LAW AGAINST BURNING OF A NATION’S FLAG--IT TAKES ON FAR MORE IMPORTANCE TO THE ONES WHO WILL BURN THE FLAG ANYWAY. YOUR LEADERS KNOW THIS TO BE TRUE BUT THEY CAN “APPEAR” SO PURE AND WHOLESOME WHILE THEY BIND YOU A BIT TIGHTER. AND FURTHER, YOU DEMAND, MARCH AND GO TO ALL LENGTHS TO FURNISH THEM WITH THE BINDINGS. SO BE IT.
Let us look at something for a moment--hopefully without judgmental impact prior to reading. I shall ask Dharma to bear with me while I repeat a news item from a major news press journal. Dharma had never heard of this entity until we began this journal and she has some nine children and nine grandchildren. HOW MANY OTHER PARENTS ARE IN THE SAME EMBARRASSING SITUATION AS SHE? THE FATHER IN THIS INSTANCE KNOWS EVEN LESS!
Headline: SATANIST OZZY OSBOURNE BACK IN THE U.S.S.R.
This will be a direct quote, please, so do whatever you need to do with your little “ “‘s.
“In 1968-69, in the United States and other Western countries, the institution of large-scale ‘outdoor rock concerts’ was invented, to siphon off growing ferment among youth angered by the Vietnam War, into a direction that would be favorable to the Aquarian/New Age movement and not threatening to the power of the liberal Establishment. Woodstock was the paradigm of this. Now, in 1989, with mass ferment growing throughout the East bloc, in reaction to the collapse of the economies and the shortage of food and the moral-political bankruptcy of the Communist system, the highest circles of the Soviet KGB are repeating this operation.
“The most recent example, was an Aug. 11-12 weekend extravaganza in Moscow’s Lenin Stadium, attended by 100,000 ‘rock fans’, and watched by a reported ‘tens of millions’ on Soviet television. Throughout Western Europe, newspaper headlines of the event read, ‘WOODSTOCK 1969--MOSCOW 1989’.
“As astonishing as the sheer numbers, was the identity of the performers. They represented the dregs drawn from Western ‘heavy metal’ rock groups, typified by the burnt-out alcoholic, druggie, and Satanist Ozzy Osbourne, who is famous for having bitten the head off a bat on stage.
“Preposterously, the Lenin Stadium event was advertised as a benefit to raise money to fight drug and alcohol abuse in the Soviet Union and the United States. The deranged Osbourne even gave a ‘press conference’ in Moscow, a photograph of which was published in the U.S. Army’s Stars and Stripes daily.
“Some of the proceeds of Ozzy’s benefit are already earmarked for organizations that are known fronts for the Soviet KGB.
“It is a convenient fiction, nurtured by the CIA, the KGB, and the British intelligence, that the ‘outdoor rock concerts’ are a form of ‘Western cultural penetration’ of the U.S.S.R. encouraged by Gorbachov’s ‘glastnost’ and ‘reform’ policies. And indeed, for many years, the Soviet Communist Party maintained the propaganda line that rock n’ roll was the ‘imperialist’, equivalent to ‘moral AIDS’; now, this propaganda has been dropped.
“But the truth is, the drug-rock counterculture is and always has been an operation against Western civilization, run by the same Establishment crowd cozying up to the Soviets--and as such its principal beneficiary is the Kremlin.
“Embracing ‘heavy metal’ rock gives the KGB new possibilities of ‘play-back’ into the West.
“As for Ozzy Osbourne, the aim is also to rehabilitate him after the damage done by the Schiller Institute’s attacks on him in Western Europe and the United States. In Sweden, Switzerland, and elsewhere, Osbourne concerts this year have been disrupted by anti-Satanist citizens’ groups. At least one Osbourne concert was cancelled. More recently, until Aug. 6 (1989), Osbourne was in the United States, on a national tour that included the states of Maryland, New York, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Iowa, Minnesota, Arkansas, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, and others.
“On Aug. 13, speaking in Moscow, ‘heavy metal’ rock promoter Doc McGhee complained that, ‘Tipper Gore (Senator Albert Gore’s wife) and everybody else (sic) said Motley Crue and Ozzy Osbourne were these Satanic cult bands. We want to show the world how concerned they are’.
“McGhee himself promotes ‘heavy metal’ rock concerts as ‘anti-drug’ events, as one of the conditions for probation for his past role in a marijuana-importing scheme. Evidently, McGhee is himself hooked on some powerful mind-altering substance, perhaps provided by friends in Communist China. On Aug. 14, after the Moscow concert was concluded, he exclaimed: ‘The next rock concert will be in Tiananmen Square. We know a million people fit in there--if you take out the tanks’.
“The Lenin Stadium extravaganza was introduced by Genrikh A. Borovic, head of the official Committee for the Defense of Peace and the brother-in-law of General Valdimir Kryuchkov, head of the KGB. In the week that the Lenin Stadium event was taking place, the latest edition of the Soviets’ international New Times publication was reaching the West, featuring an interview with General Kryuchkox. He called for closer collaboration between the KGB and Western intelligence services, in the areas of drugs, nuclear proliferation, and nuclear terrorism.
“Another top promoter of the event was Anastas Mikoyan, a scion of the powerful Mikoyan family, and name-sake of the late Soviet Foreign Trade Minister Anastas Mikoyan, one of the crucial Soviet power-brokers of this century.
“Several other rock stars have been in Moscow during August. According to the International Herald Tribune, one important visitor to Moscow in the days preceding ‘heavy metal’ weekend, was top ‘Trust’ agent Armand Hammer of Occidental Petroleum.
“Whether Hammer was involved in financing (or performing in?) the Lenin Stadium extravaganza, there is no question the satanic festival has to be seen in the context of U.S.-Britain-U.S.S.R. ‘condominium’ arrangements. One publicized ‘surprise guest’ was Jack Matlock, the American ambassador in Moscow, who drew considerable publicity some months back when he had an unprecedented private meeting with KGB head Kryuchkov. According to press reports, Matlock was wearing a shirt, with the words, ‘Just Say No’ written on it.” This last statement I desire you look at most closely since this article originated in Russia. “That is the insipid ‘anti-drug’ message invented by Nancy Reagan, a believer in magic and astrology and close friend of Armand Hammer.”
Oh, you who become picky; I suggest you RUSH to the nearest lyric counter and get the words to the noise and drum-beat of these “songs” these groups sing. Further, pay attention--your own children will tell you, “KISS is not a Satanic Group, they have that name because one of the group, Paul Stanley, likes to kiss everybody”. Nay, it, K.I.S.S., stands for KNIGHTS IN THE SERVICE OF SATAN! . . . The “kissing” statement came from a teenaged child (K.W.) in Toledo, Oh. He continued with some enlightening information: “O.K. Look, you say that Satanists sacrifice people and animals, right? Well, what do you think the ancient ones did, and what about the Aztecs? They all worshipped GOD--and they also made sacrifices. Humans and animals. Now, you tell me the differences of today. As it says in the Bible, we are all brothers.”
I have no wish to be more advertising of one group than another, but here is another article from a “trade” paper regarding the ones you refer to as the Rolling Stones. This was with pictures and a great deal of wondrous hype and honor unto this group:
“SATANIC ROLLING STONES BEGIN U.S. TOUR”
Again, understand that I only quote for this scribe is just about sick of this document and I will not allow personal responsibility of this projection to be dumped upon my scribes and publishers. I judge not--perhaps you might become a bit discerning, however.
“Philadelphia: The Philadelphia appearance was the first in a tour that will hit 29 cities in the United States and Canada between now and January 1990.
“This group, more than any other, pioneered the overt Satanism which pervades today’s rock concerts by introducing such songs as ‘Sympathy for the Devil’ in the 60’s and the hit album, ‘Their Satanic Majesties Request’. The Stones are equally well known for headlining the mass concert in Altamont, California in the late 1960’s in which it is well remembered that a man was murdered by the Hells Angels motorcycle gang during a performance of ‘Sympathy for the Devil’.
“The media buildup for the concert (Philadelphia) overshadowed anything devoted to a presidential campaign in the week before the election. Print media has devoted tens of thousands of words to the Stones, referring to them constantly as ‘Their Satanic Majesties’.
“The New York Daily News tabloid accorded the Stones a ten-page spread in their weekend edition, and 4-5 pages daily. TV and Radio blasted Stones songs for weeks indicating no lack of enthusiasm after two decades.
“56,000 people piled into Philadelphia Veterans Stadium for opening night. Two and a half million watts of sound shattered the air as the Stones appeared on a 150-foot-high set designed to resemble a crumbling city.
“According to Stones production manager, Michele Ahern, the set is designed as an indictment of contemporary society, presenting a scene of industrial decay with catwalks, gray girders and black nets towering over the stage. The Stones’ performance was designed to satisfy the multi-generational audience, with songs from every period of its history and a featured performance of the notorious ‘Sympathy for the Devil’.
“A lot of the members of the audience at this concert were between the ages of 40 and 50--a testament to the hold which the cultural hedonism of the sixties still has on the population. Law enforcement authorities termed the crowd well behaved, since no murders were committed during the performance, and only 40 people were injured in fights and other mishaps.”
THE ABOVE WAS PRINTED AS A ‘RAVE’ REVIEW!
Dateline Sept. 1, 1989:
“(Aug. 24): The British heavy-metal rock group Judas Priest, and its distributor, CBS Records, are being sued in Reno, Nevada, for their role in the suicides of Raymond Belknap, 18, and his friend, James Vance, 20, on Dec. 23, 1985. (Belknap died shortly after shooting himself, while a badly-disfigured Vance lingered on for three years.)
“The two young men, after spending six hours listening to Judas Priest’s ‘Stained Class’ album, went to a church yard to commit suicide. The album contains the repetitive subliminal message, ‘Do it. Do it’.”
Here is a letter sent in to a “personal column”:
“Hello. My name is XXX. I’m 13, and I’ll be 14 in October (’89). I’m very, very interested in a magazine which was passed out at our school about Satan being in the schoolyards. I’m from a small town called Argos, Ind.
“I used to be really interested in Satanic worshippers until I read this magazine. I listened to very heavy acid rock music all the time, like Metallica, Led Zeppelin, and Ozzy. I used to pray to Satan to get raped and other things. The only reason why is because I’m still a virgin, and I thought that was the only reason to lose my virginity and if I got pregnant, I wouldn’t get into trouble. It would be nice if lots of schools would pass out this magazine because I know a lot of kids my age who don’t know what to do.
“Thank you if you would print this letter or send me a reply.”
Dharma, please now print the letter from the R.N. in Wisconsin. This portion is a reply to an editorial in a rather small Wisconsin publication called Wisconsin Report. These quotes can all be verified at your library.
LETTER OF SUPPORT TO EDITORIAL: “ROCK MUSIC, ESPECIALLY HEAVY METAL, CONTRIBUTES TO POISONING THE MINDS OF OUR YOUNG PEOPLE”
“Dear Virginia,
“After reading your editorial comments in the September 28 issue of the Wisconsin Report as well as Peggy Cuddy’s letter regarding rock music, I am writing to add support to the view that rock music, especially ‘heavy metal’, contributes to poisoning the minds of our young people. As a registered nurse working in a treatment center for disturbed adolescents, I see first-hand the damage this music and lifestyle does. Not only is the loud discordant rebellious beat objectionable but the music forms an addiction so the young person desires to continually listen to it. This causes them to gravitate toward the philosophy of the music--a philosophy of hate, rebelliousness toward authority, anarchy, violence, sex, death and drugs. This music listened to by a depressed teen is like pouring gasoline on a fire as it makes the depression worse. Some of this music involves occultic themes, and promotes suicide and satanism.
“I urge everyone reading this to go to various record shops and ask the salesperson to direct you to the ‘heavy metal’ section of the store. The grotesque images, death, blood, gore, sex, occult images, and desecration of Christian symbols is predominant.” (Please allow me to add, however, lest there be confusion--the desecration is toward all accepted sects of “goodness”--the Jewish faith is most hard hit of all, in actuality.) “How can anyone not know, even after viewing the record jackets alone that, something is wrong? The same goes for videos, movies and TV. Take a good look at the selection of “thriller” films available for rent, showing rape, mutilation, gruesome murder, satanic and occultic rituals and every barbaric practice known. What does it take for people to wake up and see the damage this is doing? Many of the young people I work with will never be mentally healthy. It’s too late. The damage has been done. Most of the other mental health professionals I work with do not even address these issues as contributing factors. I’ve heard them tell concerned parents, ‘Don’t over-react’. They look at the rock music as a means of expression and it would be wrong to deny teens this mode of venting their feelings! We read the police reports showing evidence of satanic involvement they see as they go into the bedrooms of teens who have attempted suicide. Reports of walls plastered with favorite heavy metal rock stars, books on the occult and satanic paraphernalia are found but nothing is done about it because many do not take it seriously, calling it ‘just a phase’. Trying to educate these kids to the dangers of this activity often just makes them retreat into further secrecy. Even after sharing the lyrics of the music, and the lifestyle and philosophy of these rock stars, often parents will remark, ‘What does it hurt? We had our music when we were young’! There is such a profound blindness!
“When we shop for food to nourish the body we want the best. We reject rotting produce, moldy bread, and spoiled meat, because common sense tells us that contaminated food can cause illness or poisoning, yet when it comes to feeding the mind, so often choices made for entertainment involve illicit and violent sex, profanity, murders, crime, blood and gore. As a result, people’s minds become ill and so does society.
“Many buy rock music tapes and concert tickets for their children with these demonic themes filled with hate and rebellion or turn a deaf ear to the music and pretend not to see! There are often no restrictions on what is viewed on videos, movies or TV. When kids end up with emotional problems parents wonder why and spend a fortune for a ‘cure’.” (I would insert here that I suggest you really look carefully at the predominance of advertising on your TV--it deals with hospital and projected “cures” for alcoholism, drugs etc., etc.!--So be it.)
“Not all parents can be blamed. Some do care and teach their children right from wrong. Peer and social influences can be intense. There are those strong-willed children who are more difficult to raise than others. Even in the best family environment there can be problems, but without loving, consistent parental involvement and without strong family values, there is little hope.
“Mental hospitals are filled with young people who are a lost generation because so many have not cared enough to protect them from feeding on mental garbage. Now society must pay the price while many continue to wonder why!”
This was signed: A WISCONSIN R.N. I am a bit sorry for I would like to give her great credit, however, that would be most unsafe for her well-being. I do, however, honor her greatly and make acknowledgement herein.
One more on this subject, Dharma, and we shall move on.
AMA LINKS ROCK MUSIC TO SATANISM AND DRUGS
The following is self obvious:
“Titled ‘Adolescents and Their Music’ and produced by the AMA’s Group on Science and Technology a report counsels physicians who treat teens to be aware of the connection between rock music, especially heavy metal, and anti-social behavior. The study was published in the Sept. 22-29 Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) (1989)
“‘One aspect of the adolescent environment that has been a source of concern . . . has been the role of rock music, specifically its lyrics’, says the report. This concern has been enhanced by the ‘violent and sexual content’ of rock videos. Heavy metal, which ‘features a loud pulsating rhythm and abounds with lyrics that glorify hatred, abuse, sexual deviancy and occasionally satanism’, is especially disturbing.
“Although extremely conservative--it concludes that there is no scientific proof that rock has deleterious effects on behavior--the AMA report performs a useful function by citing numerous studies which have implied a causal relationship between teen fascination with rock music, and participation in drug use and other destructive behavior.
“The study warns that ‘evidence, although anecdotal’, exists which suggests that teenagers heavily immersed in the heavy metal subculture, ‘may be at risk for drug abuse or even participation in satanic activities’.
“As evidence, it cites several murders which ‘have been correlated with a fascination for heavy metal music’, including the case of the ‘Night Stalker’, serial murderer Richard Ramirez who left Satanic slogans and symbols at the site of his crimes, and ‘was said to be obsessed with the heavy metal band AC/DC’.
“It also refers to a number of studies which link rock to drug abuse and premarital sex. One such study found that 60% of drug-dependent teens named heavy metal as their first choice of music, ‘leading the author to suggest that such music is associated with and may promote destructive behavior in susceptible teenagers’.
“Another, on the effect of music television (MTV), found that 7th and 10th graders, after watching more than one hour of certain music videos, ‘were more likely to approve of premarital sex. . . .’ Another concluded that violent music videos ‘desensitized viewers to violence immediately after viewing’.
“Perhaps the AMA’s most shocking finding is that, between the 7th and the 12th grades, the average teenager listens to 10,500 hours of rock music. This is just ‘slightly less than the entire number of hours spent in the classroom from kindergarten through high school’. No wonder there has been such an explosion of Satanism, drug use, and suicide among adolescents!”
No, Dharma, I am not going to answer your questions in this segment. First you ones must face that which is already projected for your attention. We can only touch on a piddling few and even at that, most ones will bore and lay aside or move onward to something less accusative or titillating. This hits on every person alive and on all your children. Perhaps all I shall ever do is show you how it is, that you might better understand “how it will be”! Amen.
I request a break at this point. I wish to discuss and project a thought on a most popular little game you have running around your children’s playroom, DUNGEONS & DRAGONS, before we turn to the “beyond games and into reality of practice” games man now seems to enjoy so very much. It seems most illusive for parents to be able to face that which has entered the lives of all, especially the young. It is banned to give a child in a crib a toy with buttons and yet you have no restrictions what-so-ever on the choking bits and pieces which poison the only thing your child has in reality--his mind! So be it. A break, please.
TUE., NOV. 7, 1989 1:00 P.M. YEAR 3, DAY 083
Dharma, let us make it clear from the onset of this chapter that we are singling out this particular game for it carries with it such obvious messages. There are others which could be discussed in depth but this will suffice for our needs. You ones must learn to look within even your games for hidden content and impact. The game of “DUNGEONS & DRAGONS” is especially good for critique for it is noted as a Satanic game.
This, too, will be quoted in full that it can be verified. I give appreciation to ones A. Chaitkin and E. Corpus. Dateline: August 11, 1989.
“Remember. . .that goodness has no absolute values. Although many things are commonly accepted as good (helping those in need, protecting the weak), different cultures impose their own interpretations on what is good and what is evil. . . .”
“Remember that evil, like good, is interpreted differently in different societies. . . .”
“Curative and healing spells can have no effect on a dead character--he can only be returned to life with a raise dead or resurrection spell. . . .”
“A spook spell enables the wizard to play upon natural fears to cause the target creature to perceive the spellcaster as someone or something inimical. . . . .”
“Animate Dead (Necromancy). . . .This spell creates the lowest of the undead monsters--skeletons or zombies--usually from the bones or bodies of dead humans, demi-humans, or humanoids. The spell causes existing remains to become animated and obey the simple verbal commands of the caster. . . .”
“A geas spell places a magical command upon a creature (usually human or humanoid) to carry out some service, or to refrain from some action or course of activity, as desired by the spellcaster. . . . While a geas cannot compel a creature to kill itself or to perform acts that are likely to result in certain death, it can cause almost any other course of action. The geased creature must follow the given instructions until the geas is completed. Failure to do so will cause the creature to grow sick and die within 1d4 weeks (sic).”
“Control Undead (Necromancy). . . .At the end of the spell, the controlled undead revert to their normal behaviors. Those not mindless will remember the control exerted by the wizard. . . .”
“The finger of death spell snuffs out the victim’s life force. If successful, the victim can be neither raised nor resurrected. In addition, in human subjects the spell initiates changes to the body such that after three days the caster can. . . .animate the corpse as a ju-ju zombie under the control of the caster. . . .”
“Trap the Soul (Conjuration/Summoning). . . .This spell forces the creature’s life force (and its material body) into a special prison gem enchanted by the spellcaster. . . .”
“When a power word, kill spell is uttered, one or more creatures of any type within the spell range and area of effect are slain. . . .”
You have just read some of the rules in the Advanced Dungeons and Dragons Player’s Handbook, 2nd edition (1989). The book’s cover invites “players, ages 10 and up” to “enter a world of fantastic role-playing adventure”.
The publisher, TSR Inc. of Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, producer of the game Dungeons and Dragons, will stage a kind of Satanic games fair in the Mecca arena in Milwaukee, August 10-13. Approximately 10,000 participants, aged 10 years and up, are expected at the event, known as Gen Con.
Some players will appear in occult or pornographic costumes--a prize will be awarded. Some will be stoned on drugs. From 8 a.m. to midnight, for four days, the “D&Ders” will play fantasy roles under the control of Game Masters. The elements of the fantasy scenarios date back as far as the occult fakirs of ancient Babylon, with added new technologies of manipulative mind control developed during the post-World War II period. The object: to strip participants of their human sympathies and human identity.
The formal logic of Dungeons & Dragons, played by over three million in the U.S.A. and Europe, is as follows. Any number of persons (with fantasy character identities) enter a “dungeon” (predetermined group of rooms and corridors) that contains a treasure, there to duel against monsters, hostile inferior races, and other characters to retrieve the treasure and emerge alive. Equipment ranges from simply paper and pencil, up through elaborate computer software.
Players, typically beginning involvement in their early teens, must align their emotions with fear and degradation, violence, sadistic sex, torture and pain, and suicide and death. As the game consumes more of their time, they are isolated from contact with family and peers. The family’s loyalties and values, and the child’s self-control are attacked and altered in favor of allegiance to the “Dungeon Master”--often a schoolteacher or older teen--who rules over the multiple deities and gods, necromancy, magical spells, incantations and curses, the sorcery and mysticism of the ages.
As more and more deranged child-players have died from suicide, and have murdered family members and friends, Dungeons & Dragons has been banned from a number of schools, and has come under increasing attack from concerned religious and child-welfare groups.
Beyond these shattered lives, perhaps the community’s gravest immediate concern should be whether the Dungeons & Dragons game could be used as an entrance point into hard-core Satanist groups, such as the OTO, or “Ordo Templi Orientis”. D&D game clubs intertwine everywhere with proselytizing Satanist and witchcraft organizations, linked together by occultists’ computer networks such as BaphoNet and Wierdbase. If only one in 10,000 young people per week are successfully recruited to criminal pedophile circles, that is 300 minds lost, and countless children abused and murdered.
In preparing for a battle--whether it is to stop the brainwashing of children or to repel an armed invasion--it makes sense to know who the enemy is, and why he is attacking you. Despite the growing controversy about Dungeons and Dragons, no one has yet printed a real history of the game, or even the smallest biography of the mysterious E. Gary Gygax, D&D’s original promoter.
Published sources say that Gary Gygax, assisted by personal friends, invented the game and first sold it in 1974, through his TSR Hobbies, Inc. Gygax is no longer with TSR; in a 1985 power struggle, he lost control of the company to Lorraine Williams, granddaughter of newspaper syndicate boss, John Flint Dille.
In his 1987 book, Roll Playing Mastery (Putnam, New York), Gygax tells of three separate sources for the idea of Dungeons & Dragons:
* * The use of role-playing in clinical psychotherapy, a widespread practice in the “Aquarian Revolution” of the 1960’s.
* * Military conflict-simulation--through which think-tanks such as the Rand Corporation helped direct the Pentagon away from “traditional” to “utopian” military thinking of the Robert McNamara variety.
* * Military miniatures gaming, i.e., playing with toy soldiers. Gygax credits British author H.G. Wells as the ultimate father of D&D, through Wells’s 1913 book Little Wars, describing an elaborate game world with fights between tin figures.
There is no biographical data in Role Playing Mastery, not even the usual blurb on the author. Magazine articles about Gygax call him a retired insurance salesman and shoe peddler, simply an enthusiastic hobbyist, dreaming up spells, racial archetypes and elaborate modes of murder.
In his Mastery book, Gygax describes his work in a sophisticated mid-1960’s Stanford University project: “of the conflict simulation sort, and with a bit of military miniatures. As I recall, it was labeled the Ad Hoc Committee for the Reconstruction of WWII--a massive, fairly chaotic effort using the energies of several people plus computer assistance. I participated in the role of the Chinese Communist commander.”
“. . .I proceeded to acquire books on the history, culture, agriculture, politics, and literature of China. . . .Of course, I bought maps, military histories, and even writings of Chairman Mao--the person I played in the game. At the same time, I tried to learn about the economy and who and what the so-called Nationalists, my opponents, were and their resources in thinking, manpower, weapons, and what have you.”
In a recent telephone interview, Gary Gygax told us that the Stanford war game simulation was run by six people, none of whose names he remembers; that he doesn’t remember what agency sponsored the Stanford affair; and that all records relating to it are lost.
He did recollect that he founded the International Federation of War Gaming in 1967, several years before the invention of D&D. This involved some 600 computer war-game specialists nationally. He could not remember anyone who worked with him in that organization!!
While Gygax played Mao, another Stanford University experiment developed theories and methods of thought control which would aid the game designers of the 1970’s and 1980’s. “Artificial intelligence” researcher K.M. Colby created several models of computer simulated paranoid neurosis, the “Artificial Belief System” for which he was named Research Scientist in 1967 by the National Institute of Mental Health, with Pentagon agency backing. The idea of the Colby-Stanford project was to imitate human insanity, in order to induce it, or manipulate it, for military or “social” purposes. Expert judges from the American Psychiatric Association, could not distinguish between teletyped dialogue with actual human paranoid patients, and dialogue with Colby’s program.
The artificial intelligence work has been applied to the study of both robotics and brainwashing by Pentagon sub-agencies including the Office of Naval Research, and “linguistics” experts at the University of Wisconsin.
In our exclusive interview, Gary Gygax boasted of a family background of more interest than that of most Midwestern insurance underwriters. He claimed that the Gygax family moved in 200 B.C. from Thessalonika, Greece to Switzerland, where today there are four Gygax castles centered around Berne. As our discussion ranged across time to the magicians of the Persian empire, Egypt, etc., it became clear that the lore and practice of the occult could well be a living family tradition with Mr. Gygax.
Frederick Gygax was the Swiss consul general from the end of World War II until the mid 1950’s, while the Swiss-and New York-based Allen Dulles was forming the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency. Consul Gygax was extremely guarded in a recent telephone interview with us on the Gygax family, but he acknowledged the fame of a cousin of Gary Gygax, U.S. Admiral Felix Gygax--who held the curious position of naval attache’ in Switzerland before World War I.
Another political curiosity in the family is Gary’s uncle, Eugene Burdick, the author of the anti-war thriller Fail-Safe, and The Ugly American. Burdick taught at the University of California until 1965, after lecturing for a time at the Naval War College. Here is the leftist Military Expert, teaching rules of “little wars”.
* * * * *I AM TRULY DISAPPOINTED IF YOUR MIND IS NOT RACING 500 MILES/PER HOUR. WHY WOULD YOUR MILITARY HEADQUARTERS BE A “PENTAGON”? WASN’T YOUR CURRENT PRESIDENT HEAD OF THE C.I.A.? ISN’T YOUR PRESIDENT A MEMBER OF THE SKULL AND BONES SOCIETY? AH SO--’TIS A GOOD GAME OF QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS AFTER ALL?
Gary Gygax confirmed our tip, from a former TSR executive, that Gygax was deeply involved with another firm, the Avalon Hill Game Company of Baltimore, Md., before he set up TSR for Dungeons and Dragons. Gygax says he designed a game called Alexander the Great for Avalon Hill; perhaps this was simply family history.
According to the Avalon Hill chairman, Eric Dott, his game company has done military simulation exercises for “colonels and up” in the defense Department. Mr. Dott absolutely refused to be specific about the nature of these exercises, or if they were of a classified nature.
Sources close to TSR say that, “The government was suspicious of Avalon Hill—they saw them as knowing things they weren’t supposed to know”. Eric Dott explained that, “The FBI and the Secret Service have come around asking questions several times”.
There are a number of reasons for counter-intelligence inquiries about Avalon Hill:
The games they produce, played at popular weekend gaming conventions, involve large numbers of U.S. military personnel, both officers and enlisted men. What are they being recruited to do?
Even apart from Dungeons and Dragons, the typical role-playing game seen in current hobby shops involves an unbelievably horrible post-nuclear holocaust nightmare world. The mental life of the gaming genre is a perfect conduit into OTO and Satanism generally.
Asked about the political-military outlook of Avalon Hill, Chairman Dott said, “We’re pretty much all conscientious objectors here.” Here, the “peacenik” who brings young people into fantasy race-wars and every-man-for-himself bloodbaths, gives conflict-simulation exercises to the Defense Department!
When H.G. Wells wrote Little Wars in 1913, humanity faced a New Dark Age in the impending world war. Wells proposed that strategic planners engage in fantasy war games as a healthy alternative to a major conflict. Wells--called the real father of Dungeons & Dragons by inventor Gary Gygax--placed no value on human life. He merely proposed a more expedient route to the New Dark Age.
A recent article by a top Pentagon “expert” illustrates how deeply New Age delusions have penetrated American strategic thinking. Charles A. Whitehouse, now Assistant Secretary of Defense for Special Operations and Low Intensity Conflict, was formerly U.S. Ambassador to Laos, Undersecretary of State for Henry Kissinger, a regional chief of the Operation Phoenix assassination program in Viet Nam, and founder and chairman of the “preservationist” Piedmont Environmental Council in northern Virginia. He once directed a State Department project to guide public opinion away from blaming either Communist China or the CIA for dope sales in Viet Nam.
Writing in the newsletter of the Reserve Officers Association, Whitehouse lays down the rules for the new era of “U.S.-Soviet reapprochment”. The “distortion” of the U.S.-Soviet rivalry is now over, he claims, allowing us to see clearly the “threat” the U.S.A. faces in the Third World. Those poor countries, not the Communists, should occupy our strategic planning. He proposed an increased emphasis of “deception, stealth and guile” to win the new-type wars.
Whitehouse, like Gary Gygax, would teach from the Communist Chinese model: “Mao had only three rules that governed relations between his guerrillas and the Chinese people: All actions are subject to command. Do not steal from the people. Be neither selfish nor unjust. Simple, yet effective, and the kind of ‘art’ that makes low-intensity conflict work. . . . We forgot these lessons as we focused our attention on ‘big’ wars. It has been nearly 50 years since the Marine Corp issued the Small Wars Manual. . . .Perhaps it is time. . .for a new Small Wars Manual.”
Ambassador Whitehouse executed countless persons in Operation Phoenix, and is fascinated by the honesty and selflessness of the Communists. Rest easy. The conduct of national affairs is in the hands of the fantasy game masters.
I will ask that you please take note of recurring persons, i.e., Henry Kissinger, etc. It might be good if you went back and reviewed SPACE-GATE Journal #3 and SPIRAL TO ECONOMIC DISASTER Journal #4.
I am not going to linger longer on the foregoing subject. It speaks for itself. Further, I hear the protests coming forth: “Well, everyone doesn’t fall prey to the darkness of this game, or the metal music--you have no right to go on in this manner or quote such antiquated material.” True--very true; however, look around at your society and determine how long you can go on in this manner of existence! So be it and Selah.
Dharma, just add one last thing--quote from the notice posted regarding the August 10-13, ’89 Gen Con games fair.
“Be advised: this is not simply some mindless amusement, such as a Space Invaders video game. Dungeons & Dragons, the fantasy role-playing game, has already resulted in numerous child suicides and related murders.
“This is brainwashing, carried out under the control of “Game Masters”. It is designed to break a person’s self-control, loyalty to family, and sympathy for human life.
“Further warning: Dungeons & Dragons clubs function in an environment of computer interlock with groups practicing Satanism and witchcraft, whose objectives include the recruitment of children as sex objects.”
So, come on in and see if you can outwit Gen Con!
I guess my case rests regarding this “silly” little child’s game. I knew that all you good adults and parents knew all about these things. . . .Dharma just needed typing practice!
Close this portion, that we might move on into the really wondrous world of Satanic games and secrets for you ones who are now mumbling about the boring stupidity of this book. Unfortunately, there is no way to really shock any of your society any longer. Unfortunate indeed! However, perhaps a few of you will blink a bit and raise up off your comfortable places of resting and self-indulgence and see a bit farther.
