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.

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.

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
