Editorial Master List Alex Burns (Alex@Disinfo.Com), 1999—2002 1 Disinformation® Editorial Master List Alex Burns ([email protected]), 1999—2002 Comment (21st November 2007) I first heard of the US-based subculture site Disinformation® when RU Sirius profiled Richard Metzger for a 1997 issue of Australia’s 21C Magazine. When 21C ceased publication in 1998 Metzger suggested I write for Disinfo. I became the site’s editor in November 1999 when Metzger began pre-production and shooting the Disinfo Nation television series for the United Kingdom’s Channel 4. “The Internet can be like a black hole,” he warned me in an email. For the next several years Disinfo ran a popular ‘webzine’ with dossier profiles of forbidden knowledge, current socio-political issues and subcultural icons. Publisher Gary Baddeley and I worked with a variety of writers including Sara Aronson, Nick Mamatas and Preston Peet. But by 2002 the dotcom bubble had burst, the pre-millennial tension had ebbed, the September 11 terrorist attacks had occurred, and I was fast approaching editorial burnout. Disinfo’s Russ Kick took over editing the site before establishing his influential Alternewswire and Memory Hole projects. When I returned to the editorial helm, we soon had a new site version and a “day’s best links” format. In 2007 we launched a user-driven version that enabled fresh fever from the skies. During the ‘classic’ era Disinformation attracted both praise and criticism—often from the same person. Our fans understood that Metzger and I both drew on diverse sources for Disinformation’s editorial philosophy such as Jello Biafra’s injunctive to “become the media”, Noam Chomsky and Edward S. Herman’s propaganda model in their book Manufacturing Consent: The Political Economy of the Mass Media (1988), Paul Feyerabend’s “anything goes” approach in Against Method: Outline of an Anarchist Theory of Knowledge (1975), and most importantly, our knowledge of and direct personal experience with subcultures and practices. Our critics attacked our brand and stance. Ultimately, some critics felt that Google’s dominance in search made Disinformation obsolete because we could never cover everything in enough depth. I felt Google like any tool augmented yet did not necessarily replace this ‘meta’ stance. The following is an excerpt from the daily file I used to edit Disinformation throughout the 1999—2002 period, minus project tracking lists for contributors and about 75 pages of unused hyperlinks. It was an early Google and pre-Wikipedia attempt to map out topics for Disinformation’s future dossiers, aligned with Disinformation’s section categories at the time. I started brainstorming this list with the explorers I had at hand—Mondo 2000, 21C, Austin’s FringeWare store, Brian King & Stuart Swezey’s Amok Fourth Dispatch (1990) and Fifth Dispatch (1999), Adam Parfrey’s Apocalypse Culture (1990), Russ Kick’s Psychotropedia (2002), V. Vale’s Re/Search volumes—and went from there. I don’t claim credit or originality for the material below: you should check out these sources and others for more reliable and in- depth guide-maps to Chapel Perilous. The list is an artefact from a creative, experiential process. The critics were right in one sense: I found on a daily basis that my strategic execution didn’t always match the vision and intent. What I did find was unexpected: domain/taxonomy mapping and site editing processes can lead to self-change if approached with the right understanding and practice. Again, this insight isn’t new or original: it’s in the work of Douglas Engelbart, Sherry Turkle, Pattie Maes, J.C.R. Licklider, Howard Rheingold, Umberto Eco, Robert Anton Wilson, Greg Egan, Neal Stephenson and many others. For its attuned readers, Disinformation’s really scary secret was how they used it for Timothy Leary’s “intelligence increase”, P.R. Sarkar’s “alchemical ontological transformation”, or whatever metaphor you choose for self-realisation. 2 Disinformation Competitor Intelligence Resources: AC= Academic AR = Art B = Business C= Conspiracy F= Film G = General Culture I = Internet L = Literary M = Media ME = Men’s Interest MU = Music N = News SC = Science SF = Science Fiction SP = Spirituality SU = Subculture V = Video Z = Zine ABC Futures Exchange (http://www.abc.net.au/futures/) N AK Press (http://www.akpress.com) N Alt.Culture Pages (http://www.altculture.com) C Alt Lit (http://www.altlit.com) L Alt X (http://www.altx.com) A Amarillo Globe-News (http://www.amarillonet.com/) N Amazon (http://www.amazon.com) M American Broadcasting Network (http://www.abcnews.com) N American Journalism Review (http://www.Ajr.org) M AMOK Books (http://www.komabookstore.com) C Anders Sandberg: Trans-Humanism Network (http://www.aleph.se) C Artbyte (http://www.artbyte.com) AR Art Bell Radio Show (http://www.artbell.com) C Art-Asia Pacific (http://www.artasiapacific.com) AR Art News (http://www.artnewsonline.com) AR Asimov’s Science Fiction (http://www.asimovs.com) SF Atlantic Monthly (http://www.thealtantic.com) N Australian Broadcasting Corporation (http://www.abc.net.au) N Barnes & Noble (http://www.bn.com) M BBC Online (http://www.bbc.company.uk) M Bill Cooper (http://williamcooper.net) C BioMedNet (http://www.biomednet.com) N Bitch Magazine (http://www.bitchmagazine.com) SU Bizzare Magazine (http://www.bizzaremag.com) C Blather (http://www.blather.net) C Bleeding Music (http://www.bleedingmusic.com) MU Bloomberg Television (http://www.bloomberg.com) M Brain Sushi (http://www.brainsushi.com) SU Brill’s Content (http://www.brillscontent.com) M Business 2.0 (http://www.business2.com) B Cairo Times (http://www.cairotimes.com) N Carpe Noctem (http://www.carpenoctem.com) SU Celeb Sites (http://www.celebsites.com) M Channel Seek (http://channelseek.com) M 3 Chicken Out Of Hell (http://www.seattlesquare.com/pandemonium/featurestext/COOHArchives.htm) SU Cinescape (http://www.cinescape.com) M Civilization (http://www.civmag.com) M Channel 4 (http://www.channel4.com) M CNN (http://www.cnn.com) M Conspiracy Digest (http://www.conspiracydigest.com/) C Conspiracy Nation (http://www.shout.net/~bigred/cn0.html) C Conspiracy Planet (http://www.conspiracyplanet.com/) C Conspire!

  • Archons (Commanders) [NOTICE: They Are NOT Anlien Parasites], and Then, in a Mirror Image of the Great Emanations of the Pleroma, Hundreds of Lesser Angels
    A R C H O N S HIDDEN RULERS THROUGH THE AGES A R C H O N S HIDDEN RULERS THROUGH THE AGES WATCH THIS IMPORTANT VIDEO UFOs, Aliens, and the Question of Contact MUST-SEE THE OCCULT REASON FOR PSYCHOPATHY Organic Portals: Aliens and Psychopaths KNOWLEDGE THROUGH GNOSIS Boris Mouravieff - GNOSIS IN THE BEGINNING ...1 The Gnostic core belief was a strong dualism: that the world of matter was deadening and inferior to a remote nonphysical home, to which an interior divine spark in most humans aspired to return after death. This led them to an absorption with the Jewish creation myths in Genesis, which they obsessively reinterpreted to formulate allegorical explanations of how humans ended up trapped in the world of matter. The basic Gnostic story, which varied in details from teacher to teacher, was this: In the beginning there was an unknowable, immaterial, and invisible God, sometimes called the Father of All and sometimes by other names. “He” was neither male nor female, and was composed of an implicitly finite amount of a living nonphysical substance. Surrounding this God was a great empty region called the Pleroma (the fullness). Beyond the Pleroma lay empty space. The God acted to fill the Pleroma through a series of emanations, a squeezing off of small portions of his/its nonphysical energetic divine material. In most accounts there are thirty emanations in fifteen complementary pairs, each getting slightly less of the divine material and therefore being slightly weaker. The emanations are called Aeons (eternities) and are mostly named personifications in Greek of abstract ideas.

  • HOW BLACK IS BLACK METAL [JOURNALISMUS] Nachrichten Von Heute
    HOW BLACK IS BLACK METAL [JOURNALISMUS] nachrichten von heute Kevin Coogan - Lords of Chaos (LOC), a recent book-length examination of the “Satanic” black metal music scene, is less concerned with sound than fury. Authors Michael Moynihan and Didrik Sederlind zero in on Norway, where a tiny clique of black metal musicians torched some churches in 1992. The church burners’ own place of worship was a small Oslo record store called Helvete (Hell). Helvete was run by the godfather of Norwegian black metal, 0ystein Aarseth (“Euronymous”, or “Prince of Death”), who first brought black metal to Norway with his group Mayhem and his Deathlike Silence record label. One early member of the movement, “Frost” from the band Satyricon, recalled his first visit to Helvete: I felt like this was the place I had always dreamed about being in. It was a kick in the back. The black painted walls, the bizarre fitted out with inverted crosses, weapons, candelabra etc. And then just the downright evil atmosphere...it was just perfect. Frost was also impressed at how talented Euronymous was in “bringing forth the evil in people – and bringing the right people together” and then dominating them. “With a scene ruled by the firm hand of Euronymous,” Frost reminisced, “one could not avoid a certain herd-mentality. There were strict codes for what was accept- ed.” Euronymous may have honed his dictatorial skills while a member of Red Ungdom (Red Youth), the youth wing of the Marxist/Leninist Communist Workers Party, a Stalinist/Maoist outfit that idolized Pol Pot. All who wanted to be part of black metal’s inner core “had to please the leader in one way or the other.” Yet to Frost, Euronymous’s control over the scene was precisely “what made it so special and obscure, creating a center of dark, evil energies and inspiration.” Lords of Chaos, however, is far less interested in Euronymous than in the man who killed him, Varg Vikemes from the one-man group Burzum.

  • Handbook of Religious Beliefs and Practices
    STATE OF WASHINGTON DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS HANDBOOK OF RELIGIOUS BELIEFS AND PRACTICES 1987 FIRST REVISION 1995 SECOND REVISION 2004 THIRD REVISION 2011 FOURTH REVISION 2012 FIFTH REVISION 2013 HANDBOOK OF RELIGIOUS BELIEFS AND PRACTICES INTRODUCTION The Department of Corrections acknowledges the inherent and constitutionally protected rights of incarcerated offenders to believe, express and exercise the religion of their choice. It is our intention that religious programs will promote positive values and moral practices to foster healthy relationships, especially within the families of those under our jurisdiction and within the communities to which they are returning. As a Department, we commit to providing religious as well as cultural opportunities for offenders within available resources, while maintaining facility security, safety, health and orderly operations. The Department will not endorse any religious faith or cultural group, but we will ensure that religious programming is consistent with the provisions of federal and state statutes, and will work hard with the Religious, Cultural and Faith Communities to ensure that the needs of the incarcerated community are fairly met. This desk manual has been prepared for use by chaplains, administrators and other staff of the Washington State Department of Corrections. It is not meant to be an exhaustive study of all religions. It does provide a brief background of most religions having participants housed in Washington prisons. This manual is intended to provide general guidelines, and define practice and procedure for Washington State Department of Corrections institutions. It is intended to be used in conjunction with Department policy. While it does not confer theological expertise, it will, provide correctional workers with the information necessary to respond too many of the religious concerns commonly encountered.

  • Hans Ruesch, the Swiss Racing Driver, Best-Selling Author and Pioneer Of
    Hans Ruesch, the Swiss racing driver, best-selling author and pioneer of the antivivisection movement, born on May 17, 1913, died on August 26, 2007, at the age of 94 of cancer in Lugano. He was the last surviving grand prix winner of the interwar "golden age" of motor racing. Two of his novels were made into Hollywood films, and his subsequent publications helped give impetus to the international antivivisection movement. Hans Ruesch in 1967 The son of a German-speaking Swiss father and an Italian-speaking Swiss mother, Ruesch spent the first 13 years of his life in Naples, where his father owned a textile mill. Schooled in Switzerland, he studied law briefly at the University of Zurich before leaving at the age of 19 to pursue his interest in fast cars. His first competitive drive was in 1932 in an MG, but before long he could be seen at the wheel of more potent machines from Alfa Romeo and Maserati. Third place in an Alfa in the 1500cc category at the 1932 Brno grand prix at the Masaryk-Ring in Czechoslovakia was followed by victories in various hill climbs in the Swiss Alps. In his second year, he acquired a three-litre Maserati, with which he picked up further hill climb trophies and set a new world speed record for the standing-start kilometer, averaging 88.33 mph at the Montlhery autodrome outside Paris. Ice racing on frozen lakes was a popular sport at the time, and in 1934 Ruesch and his Maserati 8CM won events on the Titisee and the Eibsee in Germany.

  • Andres Serrano – Natures Mortes Aus Blut, Schweiß Und Sperma
    HIV/AIds und Kunst Andres Serrano – Natures mortes aus Blut, Schweiß und Sperma Andres Serrano, geboren 1950 in New York als Sohn einer afro-kubanischen Mutter und eines honduranischen Vaters, wuchs in einem katholisch geprägten Umfeld auf. Bereits als Jugendlicher war er interessiert an Renaissance- Malerei und speziell religiöser Ikonographie. Bereits zu Anfang seiner künstlerischen Laufbahn konzentrierte er sich auf die Fotografie – beeinflusst von Bunuel und anderen Surrealisten, waren Kadaver und insbesondere Blut, Milch und Sperma zentrale Bildelemente seiner Fotografien.
