BLACK SUNRISE ON PISS EARTH

Here's an excerpt from Talia Lavin's 4-20-25 NEW REPUBLIC article entitled "Why Neo-Nazis Are Obsessed With the Occult":

The chief tenet of the Order of the Nine Angles [...] is chaos. It’s a religion of edgelords who’ve cliff-dived over the edge into madness. The creation of chaos—ideally through violence, particularly murder and rape—is a form of magic, which, if enacted often enough and brutally enough, will destabilize a moral order dominated by “Magian” (Jewish) and “Nazarene” (Christian) morality. The ultimate goal of the Order is a climactic race war, which will usher in a new “Aeon,” or age—in essence, a Thousand-Year Reich. With enough chaos magic unleashed on the world through acts of violence—the more spectacular the better, like [Nikita] Casap’s would-be assassination of Trump—the “Dark Imperium” led by evil wizards will commence.

“According to the ONA, Judeo-Christian morals, such as ‘Don’t rape and murder people,’ and ‘racial equality, human rights’—those are part of a worldwide illusion,” Barrett Gay, a threat-analysis researcher at the Institute for Strategic Dialogue, told me in an interview. “Part of becoming self-actualized and pursuing the eternal Imperium is to act out the taboos of that system, and by doing so you take away its power. They practice a more mystical form of accelerationism: They believe they can destabilize the entire moral fabric of our civilization through mystically boosted, but also very real, murder and rape.” They also, Gay added, “get into some weirder stuff, like an Aryan empire in space.”

Bernard's illuminating nonfiction book, BLACK SUNRISE ON PISS EARTH: FASCISM AND NIHILISM IN THE 21ST CENTURY OCCULT, a well-researched antifascist guidebook to the burgeoning madness that is the Divided States of Amurrrica in the 21st century.

CRYPTONECROLOGY: Virginia Giuffre, R.I.P. (1983-2025)

From Karissa Waddick's 4-25-25 USA TODAY article entitled "Jeffrey Epstein Accuser Virginia Giuffre Has Died, According to Family":

Virginia Giuffre, one of Jeffrey Epstein’s accusers, has died, her family said in an April 25 statement.

Giuffre, 41, died near her home in Neergabby, Australia. The cause of death was suicide, her family said in the statement [...].

In 2015, Giuffre accused Epstein of paying her when she was 17 years old to have sex with him, Prince Andrew, Harvard lawyer Alan Dershowitz and some of Epstein’s other friends. She alleged that Maxwell lured her into Epstein’s circle.

She also filed a sex abuse lawsuit against Andrew, in 2021, alleging that she had been trafficked to the British royal family member by Epstein three times around 2001 when she was a teenager. Andrew settled the suit in 2022. He has vehemently denied the allegations. Giuffre also filed a defamation lawsuit against Maxwell in 2015. The case was settled two years later [...].

In March, Giuffre told followers on Instagram that she had gone into kidney failure and was close to dying after a school bus crashed into her car at roughly 68 mph.

From Favour Adegoke's YAHOO NEWS article entitled "Epstein Accuser Virginia Giuffre's Suicide Met With 'Cruel' Mockery From Prince Andrew's Ex":

Jeffrey Epstein accuser Virginia Giuffre's suicide has led to a vicious attack from Prince Andrew's ex-girlfriend, Victoria Hervey [...].

The actress shared a news report about Giuffre's suicide on her Instagram Story, adding a vile caption that seemed to suggest [Giuffre] got what was coming to her.

"When lies catch up to you, there's no way out," Hervey remarked mockingly, per the Daily Mail.

Following the post, Hervey faced backlash from social media users who called her remarks "cruel," "vile," and "despicable."

Remembering Richard Schowengerdt (1930-2021)

Eight years ago today, at the Masonic Lodge in Garden Grove, Richard Schowengerdt delivered a lecture about the connection between the Kabbala and the Department of Defense Acquisition Cycle. Only Richard would have thought of building an entire presentation around a topic as esoteric as that. I really wish that particular lecture had been recorded for posterity.

Around this time of the year, Richard and I often attended the Maundy-Thursday events at the Scottish Rite, so he's been at the forefront of my mind these past few days. I miss all those afternoon conversations beside his backyard pool in Costa Mesa. It's very rare to come across a mind like Richard's. His thoughts could volley back and forth easily between topics both scientific and spiritual. Overall, Richard was an unusually thoughtful man. I know that my friend Damien ("Dion Fuller" in my book CHAMELEO) appreciated the fact that Richard took his bizarre and painful situation seriously at a time when very few people would grant him that courtesy. 

Not only did I publish extensive interviews with Richard in UFO MAGAZINE, NEXUS MAGAZINE, and CHAMELEO, but my wife and I recorded numerous conversations with him over the years, so further interviews might be published in the near future.

Here's what I posted about Richard's Kabbala/DoD lecture back in April of 2017...

Richard Schowengerdt, the visionary inventor who plays such an important role in my book CHAMELEO, is delivering a lecture next Tuesday night at the Garden Grove Masonic Lodge at 7:00 P.M. This presentation is a public event that's open to any interested parties, not just Freemasons. The title of Schowengerdt's lecture is "Relationship of the Kabbala to the DoD Acquisition Cycle: Ancient Esoteric Philosophy as the Root of Modern Creative Systems." Below Schowengerdt discusses the lecture in his own words:  

"I will be making a presentation next Tuesday, 25 April 2017, at the Garden Grove Lodge on a subject dear to my heart, the creative process as outlined in the Jewish Kabbala and also exemplified in the Department of Defense Acquisition Cycle. It is only natural and expected that the Kabbala would serve as a model for all creative acts and particularly one that spends billions every year on the most sophisticated systems in the world.

 

"I am delighted that the Masonic Education Coordinator, Brother Adam Buttons, at the Garden Grove Lodge has made this a public event because the universal exercise of creative processes are not limited to a select few. Therefore, I hope most of you will be able to attend and participate in this most interesting and stimulating program."

 
Here's to the memory of Richard Schowengerdt! 

 

 

 

Masonic Postscript: By the way, if you'd like to hear Richard talking about his breakthrough innovations in optical-camouflage technology in his own words, I suggest listening to this 2-4-19 edition of Geoff Brady's IN OTHER NEWS, a radio show that airs weekly on WBAI in New York.

HAPPY EASTER, MY FRIENDS!!!

DUELING IKNERS

What follows is a prime example of the blatant disinformation far-right propaganda outlets like Newsmax disseminate on a regular basis. Here's what Newsmax correspondent Rob Schmitt reported about the Florida State University shooter, Phoenix Ikner, during his show last night: 

We don't have a motive [for the shooting] yet. We can tell you that a school newspaper article from FSU in January reports Ikner as a Political Science major. He had quotes about being very anti-Trump, very worried about Trump coming back into power.

Meanwhile, in the real world, CNN has reported the following:

Phoenix Ikner was a member of the sheriff’s Youth Advisory Council, which is designed to “provide an open line of communication between the youth of Leon County and local law enforcement,” according to a news release from 2021. McNeil described him as a “longstanding member” of the council.

On Instagram, an account with Ikner’s name and photo that was taken offline after he was publicly identified included a biblical quote on its profile: “You are my war club, my weapon for battle; with you I shatter nations, with you I destroy kingdoms.”

Ikner is a registered Republican, according to Florida voter registration records. He was quoted in January in an FSU student newspaper article about anti-Trump protests in advance of the president’s inauguration.

“These people are usually pretty entertaining, usually not for good reasons,” Ikner, who was described as a political science major, was quoted as saying. “I think it’s a little too late, he’s (Trump) already going to be inaugurated on Jan. 20 and there’s not really much you can do unless you outright revolt, and I don’t think anyone wants that.”

Investigators are looking at the possibility of a connection between the shooting and a protest scheduled for 2:45 p.m. by the university’s Tallahassee Students for a Democratic Society, according to the law enforcement official, but the investigation is still in its early phases. The suspect was previously critical of the student group.

As you can readily see, Rob Schmitt's summary ("He had quotes about being very anti-Trump, very worried about Trump coming back into power.") does not match the actual words attributed to Ikner. This is only a single example out of numerous such distortions regularly reported as "news" via Trump's Reich Ministry for Public Enlightenment and Propaganda (i.e., "Newsmax").

Here's a brief excerpt from a 4-18-25 article about the FSU shooter published by the conservative newspaper NEW YORK POST:

Alleged Florida State University shooter Phoenix Ikner touted vile “white supremacist” views, according to his classmates — including that “Rosa Parks was in the wrong” and that black people were destroying his community.

Ikner, who allegedly killed two people and wounded six others when he opened fire on campus Thursday, horrified other students with his “gross” racial rhetoric.

One classmate from Ikner’s former school, Tallahassee State College, recalled how he was asked to leave a “political roundtable” club over his hate speech [...].

Another classmate said Ikner was vocal in their federal politics class, promoting his disturbing views about black people, as well as far-right conspiracy theories, such as that former President Joe Biden was fraudulently elected.

It appears that Ikner is yet another in a long line of easy marks who fell for Trump's fascist version of Operation Mindfuck, an asymmetrical PsyOp explained and deconstructed in my 2022 nonfiction book, OPERATION MINDFUCK: QANON & THE CULT OF DONALD TRUMP.

MAHALO, FRIENDS!!!

 

PRAISE FOR CRYPTOPOLIS:

"The stories in Cryptopolis feel like the bloody, star-filled lovechildren of Burroughs and Delany, with each tale ostensibly one part of a greater whole; abstract limbs and organs tethered together by strained flesh. Cryptopolis will take readers on a hallucinogenic journey through worlds fractured by time and place—slipping through liminal dimensions with seamless abandon to unveil unsettling illusions and heartbreaking realities—and totally worth the trip."

--Philip Fracassi, author of Boys in the Valley

 

"If you're tired of the same wines and you're curious about the vintage only just whispered about, have a deep draught of Robert Guffey's Cryptopolis. You don't have to descend with Fortunato to the deepest cellars to find this bottle of Amontillado. Here it is! If Poe collaborated with Robert Anton Wilson...if Borges had a lovechild with Lovecraft, which was subsequently adopted by Kafka...you might get Cryptopolis. I think too that Clark Ashton Smith would admire this collection. Written with the obsessive precision of a mysterious staircase descending into the abyss, Cryptopolis will take you to strange epiphanies..."  

 

--John Shirley, author of The Feverish Stars

 

"Once upon a time, weird and speculative fiction had an underground full of stories that were not written as calling cards or as film treatments or as extended internet memes. Guffey's tales resist genre gentrification; they move into your mind to turn it into a punk house squat!" 

--Nick Mamatas, author of Move Under Ground and The Second Shooter

 

 "In Cryptopolis & Other Stories, Guffey's free-ranging intellect meshes wonderfully with his command of the language."

--John Oakes, author of The Fast

 

"Guffey brings together 25 horror shorts that swing wildly between terrifying mindtrips and gritty realism. Throughout, Guffey’s blunt prose lends a sense of normalcy to the fantastic as his cast of losers from all walks of life face the cruelties of their existence—sexual violence, drugs, war, parenthood, and poverty [...]. Though not for the faint of heart, this bizarre and over-the-top collection is sure to thrill devotees of weird fiction."

--Publishers Weekly

"Cryptopolis may end up being a gateway drug into Robert Guffey’s work. I don’t use that term spuriously. So many of Guffey’s stories in Cryptopolis have a hard-bitten edge and gritty feel to them that I could see him crafting a metatext about an author whose books are physically addictive. Across the collection’s twenty-five stories and vignettes, Guffey displays a range of interests and foci with such depth and heart that I wouldn’t be surprised if he became one of my favorite modern writers [...].

"Affect, the experience of emotional response, seems to be at issue in every one of Guffey’s offerings. From the opening eponymous story (which is the only outright Lovecraftian story in the collection), with its resonances of love as a torturous paralytic, to the last, 'Esthra, Shadows, Glass, Silence,' a parable of alternate lives and lost possibilities, the emotional response drawn from the reader appears to be the crux of every piece. These stories are engines designed to make the reader feel."

GIZMODO on Trump's "Science-Killing Horror Show"

 From Isaac Schultz's 4-11-25 GIZMODO article entitled "Sneak Preview of Trump’s 2026 NASA Budget Is a Science-Killing Horror Show":

After weeks of uncertainty, it appears that the Trump administration is preparing to gut NASA, based on a preliminary budget that would see the space agency’s funding nearly halved.

Weeks of whispers (read: statements in scientific and Congressional committee meetings) have already indicated the way the breeze was blowing for NASA. And by breeze, we mean hurricane-force headwinds. The Washington Post reported that the preliminary “passback” version of Donald Trump’s budget proposal would slash NASA’s funding to $3.9 billion from $7.3 billion [...].

Already, space science thought leaders are describing the passback budget as an extinction-level event for NASA, an agency that has led the way in space exploration for nearly 70 years.

As reported by Ars Technica, the document is just the first part of a process for the fiscal-year 2026 budget, produced by the White House Office of Management and Budget. That office is run by Russell Vought—whose goal from day one was to “traumatically” affect scientists, as reported by Nature.

A Cryptoscatological Exploration of the Manson Mythos

 

In light of Errol Morris' underwhelming Netflix documentary, CHAOS: THE MANSON MURDERS, I feel compelled to recommend a half-dozen books that explore the Manson Mythos with greater flair and originality than Morris manages to dredge up in his scant ninety-six minute film. I've presented the books here in reverse-chronological order...

1. DENNIS WILSON AND CHARLIE MANSON by Jack Skelley (Fred & Barney Press, 2021). From the author of the legendary underground novel FEAR OF KATHY ACKER comes this fascinating chapbook that explores how a random encounter between Beach Boys musician Dennis Wilson and ex-con reprobate Charlie Manson sets into motion a series of tragic events that lead to an infamous Hollywood killing spree and the death of the entire 1960s. Based on documented research, this peculiar psychodrama weaves in passages of Skelley's psychedelic verse, the centerpiece of which is "Rise," an apocalyptic sermon told from the point of view of Manson himself.

2. WIDOW OF THE AMPUTATION & OTHER WEIRD CRIMES by Robert Guffey (Eraserhead Press, 2021). Yes, indeed, I've humbly included my own book on the list! The title story of this Wonderland Award-nominated collection of four novellas is an experimental supernatural horror story that combines historical settings with touches of absurdist humor to create a character study of a psychopathic outsider manipulated by forces he can never hope to understand. The narrative involves Charles Manson kidnapping the severed head of Mary Magdalene and follows his subsequent descent into the Land of the Dead located just beneath Devil’s Hole in Death Valley, California. Over the course of this condensed epic we witness a most unusual prison break in which Manson succeeds in busting out of Corcoran Penitentiary thanks to fifty-one photographs of the Death Valley sky hanging on the cracked walls of his Maximum Security cell, the theft of Mary Magdalene’s severed head by sentient spiders made of twine, the bloody murder of the storytelling coyotes of Badwater, California, the ritual sacrifice of two astronauts on the surface of the moon, a midair pursuit involving two talking ravens from Norse mythology, and Manson’s aforementioned climactic expedition into the subterranean kingdom of Mictlan, Lord of the Dead. The mythologies of various cultures (Mayan, Norse, Hopi Indian, Christian, and others) collide in this on-the-road pilgrimage involving gods, demigods, animal familiars, and all-too-human madmen. 

3. CHAOS: CHARLES MANSON, THE CIA, AND THE SECRET HISTORY OF THE SIXTIES by Tom O'Neill and Dan Piepenbring (Back Bay Books, 2019). This is the source material upon which Errol Morris' Netflix documentary is ostensibly based. Unlike the film, however, O'Neill and Piepenbring's 521-page book includes a plethora of compelling evidence pointing toward the disturbing notion that Manson's California misadventures were being actively subsidized and supported by Friends in High Places, including MK-Ultra scientist Louis Jolyon West. This books adds an impressive amount of evidence to a theory first proposed by Mae Brussell (known to some as the "Queen of Conspiracies") way back in 1971 when the Manson Family trial was still unfolding. See this previous CryptoPost for more information about both Brussell and Manson.

4. THE SHADOW OVER SANTA SUSANA: BLACK MAGIC, MIND CONTROL, AND THE MANSON FAMILY MYTHOS by Adam Gorightly (Creation Books, 2009). Before the 2019 publication of CHAOS, there were only two essential Charles Manson books, and Adam Gorightly's THE SHADOW OVER SANTA SUSANA was one of them. You can't really get a full picture of what went down on Cielo Drive in August of 1969 without reading Ed Sanders' THE FAMILY, Gorightly's THE SHADOW OVER SANTA SUSANA, and O'Neill and Piepenbring's CHAOS (in that order). A standout chapter in Gorightly's book is "Rosemary's Baby," which covers previously obscure information regarding the late 1960s Hollywood milieu Rosemary LaBianca and her husband were orbiting just prior to their murders.

5. COLUMBO: THE HELTER SKELTER MURDERS by William Harrington (Forge Books, 1994). When I visited the Museum of Death in Los Angeles during the summer of 2019, I was surprised to discover William Harrington's second Columbo novel (the first one, THE GRASSY KNOLL, focused on the JFK assassination) featured prominently in the Charles Manson room among a small selection of Manson-Family-related nonfiction volumes. In this media tie-in mystery novel, Lt. Columbo finds himself coming face-to-face with Charlie himself after discovering the slogans "HEALTER SKELTER, "POLITICAL PIGGY," and "ALL PIGGYS DIE! DIE! WHO NEXT?" scrawled in blood at a violent crime scene revolving around the murder of a rich L.A. department store owner, Arlene Khoury, and her lover, Steve Heck. Not only do we learn that Columbo testified at the Manson trial, but Charlie was so familiar with the rumpled detective that he even dreamed up a special nickname for him ("Cisco"). About halfway through the novel, Columbo interviews Charlie in Folsom Prison during which the convicted murderer sings the detective a little song:

"Always wanted to be an apostle.

Always knew I'd make it if I tried.

Now I'm gonna retire and write a gospel,

So people will remember when we've die-ied."

One wonders what Peter Falk (the Emmy Award-winning actor who portrayed Lt. Columbo over a period of thirty-five years) made of this novel's salacious plot, particularly since Manson once gave a gossipy interview to a mid-1970s tabloid called THE HOLLYWOOD STAR in which he claimed that Falk himself partied with his harem of girls back during the Family's SoCal heyday. Other Hollywood luminaries named in that particular interview included Yul Brynner, Neil Diamond, Jane Fonda, Elvis Presley, Peter Sellers, and Nancy Sinatra.

6. THE FAMILY: THE STORY OF CHARLES MANSON'S DUNE BUGGY ATTACK BATTALION by Ed Sanders (E.P. Dutton, 1971). Ed Sanders, longtime member of The Fugs, began investigating the Manson Family only a few months after the Tate/LaBianca murders went down in August of 1969. As a lifelong lyricist, Sanders wrote his notes in verse and began referring to himself as "an investigative poet." Over the course of his two-year-long odyssey, Sanders tracked down various Manson-related occult societies and criminal gangs based in Los Angeles, including all the material witnesses to the murders themselves. Sanders' investigation inspired a slew of conspiratorial and parapolitical texts that followed, but it's always illuminating to go back to the original. I recommend tracking down the first hardcover edition (pictured above), since subsequent versions were censored as a result of a defamation lawsuit brought against the publisher by the Process Church of the Final Judgement. 

DEAD MONKEY RUM: The Perfect Spring Break Read!

Even as you read these words, hordes of libido-fueled college students are swarming toward Cancún, Miami, Cabo San Lucas, and similar sun-drenched locations to celebrate Spring Break. Foremost on their young minds is the perennial question: Which Robert Guffey book should I bring to the beach? The obvious answer to this difficult conundrum is the Rondo Award-nominated novel DEAD MONKEY RUM, which is best appreciated with a tropical drink in one hand and a melodic Les Baxter score drifting in the background as the azure Pacific laps at the nearby seashore. Directly below, you will see a photograph of the author enjoying the first day of his Spring Break by reimmersing himself in DEAD MONKEY RUM while relaxing on the Lanai just outside the Enchanted Tiki Room with a generous serving of Dole Whip resting in his left hand. You might be wondering why he would bother reading this book when he already knows exactly what's going to happen. The truth is, DEAD MONKEY RUM never loses its luster even after the 33rd reread! So let's all help start a brand new American tradition and carry a copy of DEAD MONKEY RUM to your Spring Break destination this year! MAHALO, boys and girls!

 

PRAISE FOR DEAD MONKEY RUM:

"A remarkable rush of entertainment and thrills."

--Alan Moore (V for Vendetta and Watchmen) 

 

"Robert Guffey's fantastic novel, DEAD MONKEY RUM, will at least bring your brain out of a coma, if not get your imagination off the couch. This is a thinly masked tribute/adventure to the late Stanislaw Szukalski and his boundless imagination. This book is a mental gymnasium."

-- Robert Williams (Visual Addiction, Hysteria in Remission, and Through Prehensile Eyes)

 

"A fantastically rich and entertaining piece of work with an original sharp edge."

 -- Jim Woodring (writer/artist of Weathercraft, The Frank Book, and One Beautiful Spring Day)

 

"Stanislaw Szukalski would love DEAD MONKEY RUM. This novel is addictive like a heavy drug. Make space in your calendar to read it all."

-- Irek Dobrowolski (director of the Netflix documentary, Struggle: The Life and Lost Art of Szukalski)

 

 "Yetis, Tiki Gods, Cryptozoology, and rum-filled adventure! Sign me up and tell me when the ship sails! I'm recommending this Robert Guffey novel to all my friends, family, and foes to take their minds completely off whatever they are thinking about. Wonderful."

-- Loren Coleman (Mysterious America, The Field Guide to Lake Monsters and Sea Serpents, The Field Guide to Bigfoot, Curious Encounters, and 40 other books - Director of the International Cryptozoology Museum)

 
"DEAD MONKEY RUM succeeds at being a pursuit thriller, with suspense and tension as the monkey and Stephanie evade their cryptid enemies, and comedy as the two exchange jabs at each other. It is cinematically fast. DEAD MONKEY RUM should be adapted to a [...] Ralph Bakshiesque animated film where both the zaniness of the narrative and the latent satire would really flourish."

-- Exotica Moderne

 

"One of the weirdest romps you'll ever read."

-- Fortean Times

 

UNBOXING DEAD MONKEY RUM:
