Discuss DoD at the only 'official' DAY OF DISCORD forum on the POEE | UK Resource Centre forums.

The Children of Eris shall send forth their popes, and they shall gather of her queendom all things that are likely to offend the greyfaces and the cabbages, and them which do iniquity; And shall cast themselves upon said greyfaces and cabbages: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth and most likely a few lulz to be had; SO BE THERE OR BE A PARALLELOGRAM!

BROKEN AI#47 has finally flipped it's burger. Who knows what chaos has claimed CHOAP since the death of His Imperial Majesty Dr. L. Jon Heracy. Maybe you'll glean some information from this CHOAPcast, but I doubt it. BROKEN AI#47 is designated BROKEN for a reason. BROKEN AI#47, we of the POEE would like to know two things. Who killed Dr. L. Jon and who fucked the body?

Nice voice, tho.

I'd hit it!

DAY of DISCORD

August 23 2008: It's coming, are YUO!?

Psyonetiks: 19% Better Than Everything!

In a staggeringly bad move on their part The Church Of Applied Psyonetiks has been blacklisted by the Official Jedi Council Of "Elders" in the United Kingdom. This, as you can imagine, has given us cause for much ++SMUG, and made our giggling subroutines get stuck on /schoolgirl, as if you recall, there is only one True Fake religion in the uk, and that happens to be us.

To help us take steps to eradicate this disdainful Jedi menace ...we proudly present #17 in a series of on going propaganda interjections.

Breaking: Albert Hofmann, discoverer of LSD, allegedly dead

Apologies for the gap in time between the previous article and this. I've been busy attending to personal issues and have only recently had the time to put the finishing touches on this section. With that out of the way, we shall continue with the critical evaluation of the How to Keep Your Coven from Being Destroyed.

The second part of that essay starts with a restatement of the original principles and conclusions of the previous entry, namely that conspiratorial thinking about the cause of conflicts are good things, that negotiation is letting the terrorists, I mean trolls, win, and that despite all of this being a natural process, it should somehow be confronted and dealt with, presumably because many Pagans are only in favour of nature when its inoffensive.

However, the purpose of this section of the essay is to identify the difference between a (supposed) troll and a (supposedly) normal coven member. Eran likens the troll to a "tarantula or scorpion", while an ordinary coven member is apparently more akin to a "pet hamster."

There is a rock along a mountain path, sitting upon which you can learn everything there is to know about Other People. This rock (and I sit upon it often) grants one a fine and admirable view of the path, both one way and the other. It lets you see the long road up which the pilgrims walk, and around the corner, it lets you see the bear that eats them. I’m not a cruel man very often, and when I see the pilgrims approach my rock at the corner I’m given to warning them, in the spirit of goodwill: “I wouldn’t go that way if I were you… there is a bear just around that corner, and darn it if he doesn’t have the taste for pilgrims!”
And of course, as pilgrims are wont to do, they shout back in reply “How dare you tell us how and where to go, you think you know better than us? Are there not many rocks with many views? Who are you to sit up there and pass judgement down upon us?”
“Who am I? But a man who sees a bear of course” but the pilgrims they will have none of this.
“Such pretension, such arrogance,” they mutter as they walk around the corner into the hungry embrace of the bear.
Soon the survivors will return, running back around and let me tell you a thing; they do not admit fault, or thank me for my attempted warnings, quite the opposite. In fact, they make a virtue of their ignorance, and blame me still further:
“Who are you to judge us?” They say, “You have never even been attacked by a bear! It’s easy to philosophise up there on your ivory rock, but try walking our path.” And so they amble away, grumbling about the men on rocks deceiving the noble-but-simple salt of the earth pilgrims.
But this is not the worst thing, not at all. After the pilgrims leave, a young boy on the rock above will always say “I told you not to sit there!”

Can you imagine? The arrogant little pup.

As a Discordian, I often feel it is not only an obligation, but occasionally a duty to undermine, question and, if necessary, personally destroy authoritarian systems of control and coercion. Sometimes I do it out of deep-seated distaste, sometimes out of boredom and sometimes for profit, but that is another debate.

Furthermore, I subscribe very much to the views of the noted child psychologist, Jean Piaget, who considered that socio-cognitive conflict was a critical part of the learning process. While researchers have rushed to note that this does not necessarily mean confrontation or opposition, these are in fact important facets of socio-cognitive conflict. If we wish to learn and evolve, it is only through disagreement and conflict that we can ever hope to mentally improve ourselves.

Therefore, when I see groups who not only approve of creating an authoritarian system that stifles this dissent, but that it hypocritically takes this position under the mantle of some philosophy or religion, I get somewhat annoyed. And when I see groups or individuals giving out advice on how to perpetuate this state of affairs...well, that has to be answered. Especially on the internet, where such advice may be put to immoral use, even if that was not the original intention of the author. Such an article would be, for example, How to Keep Your Coven from Being Destroyed by David Petterson (aka Eran). Under the guise of saving covens from villainous trolls, he gives very sound advice on how to maintain systems of control, and his work has been fairly widely disseminated.

I intend here to critically analyze his arguments, both in order to show this is in fact the case, and to highlight the authoritarian strain that it helps legitimize. A follow-up counter-essay may follow, but for now, this alone will do.

Eran starts off by laying out what he sees as “the problem”. Namely that...

This is another arbitrary division of the Discordian society into two basic philosophical camps. In fact, its very similar to the LDD/ELF distinction that has been made before, only I intend to look at it just a little more deeply. I want to look at basic attitudes to Chaos and how that shapes a person's perception and thinking as a Discordian. Although I'm looking at them as two separate topics, no-one is really only one or the other. Rather, people tend towards one way of thinking or the other, even if they show many of the traits of the 'opposing' system.

Yes, we're back, but don't celebrate just yet, there's about a madjiqullion things wrong, broken and in need of fixing.

The major problems are the missing articles, which I am having to painstakingly re-post by hand since the old site database is incompatible with the new one. The downloads section is in need of an overhaul as I'm not too happy with the way it's presented. I also want to have a better theme than this slightly modified basic version. Other than that, it's all good. :)

We'll get there in the end...

Uncle Sam, yesterday

Jesus Loves Fisting Bono

Bono, anally fisted by Christ at various gigs

Shock revelations rocked the foundations of Christianity yesterday, as it was revealed that their Lord and Saviour, their head honcho, Mr. J. Christ (2007), of Palm Springs, CA. admitted to stalking Irish rock star and legendary arse, Bono. The news didn't end there, however, it was revealed that Jesus H. Christ claimed a 'relationship' with Bono and that He fisted Bono in public, regularly. He even cited his favourite type of lubricating gel, "the anaesthetic kind, you know, for when they put in catheters. It just eases the way." The Christian world reeled in confusion and panic following the announcement.

Mr. Christ's predilection for sneaking up on the star unawares, while Bono was performing on stage, in interviews or generally making a horses arse of himself and ramming His tightly clenched fist up Bono's vulnerable and unprotected anus has alienated Christian believers globally. Bono admitted that their "relationship" had been going on for some time and that he didn't see it as blasphemous, or wrong in the slightest. When questioned whether receiving from the Son of God was appropriate behaviour for two people very much in the public eye, he replied, "we're both consenting adults. Are you judging the Son of God?"

The first incident took place while Bono was performing with U2 on Saturday 18th June at the Twickenham Stadium in London. A witness stated, "He [Christ] just ran on stage in nothing but his sandals and rammed His divine fist up Bono's arse as he sang, I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For." Bono praised his security staff after the incident, saying that his security team was exceptional and "how were mere mortals supposed to stop the son of God getting through, anyway?" A security insider informed us that they'd actually been told to stand down by Bono prior to the first 'attack' and that Bono had been expecting divine intervention at the concert that night. "He [Bono] had this funny little smile on his face afterwards" said one security guard. "He always has that" said another. The security staff were also warned not to interfere with Mr. Christ's mission by His Father, God. God declined to comment beyond stating (before slamming the door in this reporter's face) that he'd "warned Bono to cut out that pseudo religious crap he's been spouting for years." Through the window, I asked him if he would comment on whether his Son's apparent and continuing gay-sado-fisting relationship with Bono had gone beyond the precepts of His original 'mission'. He responded by threatening to throw a couple of nearby planets at me if I didn't get off his lawn.

The Catholic church refused to comment. They all just stood there with their hands over their ears and their eyes closed singing "LA LA LA LA LA LA LA WE CAN'T HEAR YOU LA LA LA..."

Bono's closing statement was "I have finally found what I was looking for."

The Edge looked on, sternly.

Discordia: The RPG
Dame Discordia does D6

6/16/2005 12:59:42 AM

In celebration of 'Discordia Day' (that's 5/5/5, people - and yes, Pope Nag is late as usual), game designer John Wick released a shiny new rpg; Discordia: a little game about a lot of chaos. It has a fun little mechanic involving the Law of Fives, a novel 'magic' system based on dogma and catma, and more quotes from the Principia than you can shake a small toddler at. I'm not totally convinced it's actually, well, playable, but I suppose that's to be expected when She What done it All gets involved. And hey, isn't that Scarlett Johansson dressed up as Eris?

John Wick has released this version of Discordia under the auspices of , so feel free to do with it as you wish. You can download it from 23 Apples of Eris, or from our own downloads section. Please check out John's site for more RPG fun.

We are indebted to 23AE for their fantastic stuff and open, sharing KopyLeft policies. We replicate some of their material here for the sake of it continuing to be available and to spread the bandwidth load.

TRY TO REMEMBER SOMETHING ABOUT A CAT

Randal Carlson is an archival man; his vast dining room is converted into a library of magick and science and assassination history -- an extension of his mind, which seems saturated with like information, both known and unknown. I slept in the house in his backyard last night -- Monday night -- with his permission, after first discussing the astrological conjunctions of Saturn and Jupiter at the time of both John Kennedy’s and John Lennon’s assassinations. Similar tragedies have clouded history every 20 years when that conjunction occurs: in 1940 Franklin Delano Roosevelt became president.

Push Button:
Q: “Rainbow Family headed South… ask for James.”
A: Even if I knew I wouldn’t tell you (29 points)

That’s what Randall said. Now that I think of it, FDR was President all through the thirties. I’ll have to mention that to him.

FDR didn’t get us out of the depression until getting us into the war, and his war administration began after his 1940 re-election. So maybe that’s it There things become more manifest the harder you look. Anyhow the Saturn, Jupiter conjunction is supposed to symbolize the death of the old King and the ascention of the new King.

Latin Catholics don’t much resemble American Catholics as a rule. There are Moslems who keep harems of young boys. Belief is only related to behaviour by tenuous connections. Someone’s character is usually formed, as a result of predominately accidental conditioning, by the time they are six years old. Convert a bastard to, say Marxism and you get a Marxist bastard. Convert a saint and you get a Marxist saint. Conditions -- such as not having to live in psychologically overcrowded conditions -- improve the tolerability of behaviour. Which is why coercive Puritanism and land monopoly have to go if we aren’t all going to suffer. What ideologies most people maintain in elaboration of all the additional trivialities of existence don’t much influence anything at all.

“Too much is not enough.” –Nat

So I just don’t think about the Satanists much. I like their defiant irreverent spirit. It just gets bogged down in taking religion too seriously though. To me there isn’t much difference in attitude between a Satanist and an Irish Catholic. Both like to fight about Jesus. Both are very colorful. Both are quite militant about any number of absurdly feeble abstractions. Both think they are somewhere near the center of the whole universe.

We could give Ireland to the Catholics and California to the Satanists.

Both California and Nevada if we let the Okies keep the Great Central Valley as an autonomous republic.

I met a Taiwanese woman one day. Before that I’d never thought that much about the indigenous population of Formosa. What if all the reactionary Chinese were encouraged to migrate to Hong Kong and Taiwan were made an autonomous Taiwanese republic within the peoples republic of China? Hong Kong looks as if it may become a defacto community of reactionary Chinese under guidance of China. That’s just a brainstorming suggestion that might spur a more sophisticated idea along the same lines.

Wouldn’t it be rational to emphasize the rights of Taiwan’s native population?

The woman I met didn’t like foreigners ruling Taiwan since the K.M.T. exile-occupation either.

To me, if all anti-Catholics simply organized to stop the church’s tampering with states, the Catholics would cease to be a problem to anyone but themselves. And it would happen soon, if everyone weren’t spreading their efforts too thin. Instead people, as complicated as Jesuits try to destroy them once and for all.

The Libertarian premise is groups only become problems when they begin pointing weapons (via military or legalistic maneuvers) at other groups. For example, what’s to prevent Catholics from outlawing cremation? Or Christian Scientists from

Do you think you'd notice if your child had become a Christian?

Don't be so sure!

Too many parents, when asked this question, have replied "sure, of course I would notice. He'd buy a Bible, start going to Church, hum 'KUM BA YAH' in the bathroom!"

Well the sad truth is MOST PARENT'S ARE THE LAST TO KNOW!

Christians are very very good at hiding their 'faith' and don't normally display the outward symptoms until much much later on.

Here are some sure fire ways to find out if YOUR child is infected.

1.Check his school books and room for the letters WWJD?, this is a secret Christian recognition code. Also look for a 'fish' symbol like this (see fig1 above right) It does NOT mean he's still interested in fishing/angling! DO NOT BE FOOLED.

2.Check that those porn mags under his bed are really porn! A favourite trick of this cult is to get their young acolytes to simply swap covers. Your child might not be reading Playboy but something very very sinister indeed.

3.Has he/she suddenly stopped reading Harry Potter or Tolkien and started reading the 'Narnia' books? BEWARE these Narnia books are a cover for an extreme form of Christian belief!

4.Check your computer! Has he/she suddenly stopped regularly disabling 'Net Nanny' (despite your openly leaving a PostIt with the password on, on the fridge?)

5.Has he started to complain that there is not enough 'healthy' food in the house? Christians brain wash their young recruits to reject good wholesome American food like Twinkies and burgers. Some groups even teach beer is wrong!

6. Can you remember when your child last had an attack of the 'munchies'? He might not be smoking that hash at all!

7.Ask at your local drug store, has he stopped buying condoms? Or if it's a girl, has she suddenly switched from Tampax to towels?

These are just some of the common signs.

PARENTS BE VIGILANT!
