This essay, "Why I Want to Fuck Ronald Reagan," was written by J.G. Ballard
in 1967 and proved to be amazingly prohpetic. At the 1980 Republican Convention
in San Francisco, a copy of this piece minus its title and the running
sideheads, and with the addition of the seal of the Republican Party, was
distributed to delegates. In an interview, Ballard said that it appeared to
have been accepted for what it resembled: a psychological position paper on the
candidate's subliminal sexual appeal commissioned by some maverick think-tank.

I took this piece from "The Atrocity Exhibition" by J.G. Ballard, excerpted
under Fair Use.

Fuck the CDA.

WHY I WANT TO FUCK RONALD REAGAN

by J.G. Ballard (1967)

During these assassination fantasies

Ronald Reagan and the conceptual auto disaster. Numerous studies have been
conducted upon patients in terminal paresis (G.P.I.), placing Reagan in a
series of simulated auto crashes, e.g. multiple pile-ups, head-on collisions,
motorcade attacks (fantasies of Presidential assassinations remained a
continuing preoccupation, subjects showing a marked polymorphic fixation on
windshields and rear trunk assemblies). Powerful erotic fantasies of an
anal-sadistic character surrounded the image of the Presidential contender.
Subjects were required to construct an optimum auto disaster victim by placing
a replica of Reagan's head on the unretouched photographs of crash fatalities.
In 82 percent of cases, massive rear-end collisions were selected with a
preference for expressed fecal matter and rectal hemorrhages. Further tests
were conducted to define the optimum model-year. These indicate that a
three-year old model lapse with child victims provide the maximum audience
excitation (confirmed by manufacturers' studies of the optimum auto disaster).
It is hoped to construct a rectal modulus of Reagan and the auto-disaster of
maximized audience arousal.


Tallis became increasingly obsessed

Motion picture studies of Ronald Reagan reveal characteristic patterns of
facial tonus and musculature associated with homo-erotic behavior. The
continuing tension of buccal sphincters and the recessive tongue role tally
with earlier studies of facial rigidity (cf., Adolf Hilter, Nixon).
Slow-motion cine-films of campaign speeches exercised a marked erotic effect
upon an audience of spastic children. Even with mature adults the verbal
material was found to have minimal effect, as demonstrated by substitution of
an edited tape giving diametrically opposed opinions. Parallel films of
rectal images revealed a sharp upsurge in anti-Semitic and concentration-camp
fantasies (cf. anal-sadistic fantasies in deprived children induced by rectal
stimulation).


with the pudenda of the Presidential contender

Incidence of orgasms in fantasies of sexual intercourse with Ronald Reagan.
Patients were provided with assembly kit photographs of sexual partners during
intercourse. In each case, Reagan's face was superimposed upon the original
partner. Vaginal intercourse with "Reagan" proved uniforms disappointing,
producing orgasm in 2 percent of subjects. Axillary, buccal, navel, aural and
orbital modes produced proximal erections. The preferred mode of entry
overwhelmingly proved to be the rectal. After a preliminary course in anatomy
it was found that the caecum and transverse colon also provided excellent
sites for excitation. In an extreme 12 percent of cases, the simulated anus
of post-colostomy surgery generated spontaneous orgasm in 98 percent of
penetrations. Multiple-track cine-films were constructed of "Reagan" in
intercourse during (a) campaign speeches, (b) rear-end auto collisions
with one- and three-year-old model changes, (c) with rear exhaust assemblies,
(d) with Vietnamese child-atrocity victims.


mediated to him by a thousand television screens.

Sexual fantasies in connection with Ronald Reagan. The genitals of the
Presidential contender exercised a continuing fascination. A series of
imaginary genitalia were constructed using (a) the mouth-parts of Jacqueline
Kennedy, (b) a Cadillac rear-exhaust vent, (c) the assembly kit prepuce of
President Johnson, (d) a child-victim of sexual assault. In 89 percent of
cases, the constructed genitalia generated a high incidence of self-induced
orgasm. Tests indicated the masturbatory nature of the Presidential
contender's posture. Dolls consisting of plastic models of Reagan's alternate
genitalia were found to have a disturbing effect on deprived children.


The motion picture studies of Ronald Reagan

Reagan's hairstyle. Studies were conducted on the marked fascination
exercised by the Presidential contender's hairstyle. 65 percent of male
subjects made positive connections between the hairstyle and their own pubic
hair. A series of optimum hairstyles were constructed.


created a scenario of the conceptual orgasm,

The conceptual role of Reagan. Fragments of Reagan's cine-tized postures
were used in the construction of model psycho-dramas in which the Reagan-figure
played the role of husband, doctor, insurance salesman, marriage counselor,
etc. The failure of these roles to express any meaning reveals the non-
-functional character of Reagan. Reagan's success therefore indicated
society's periodic need to re-conceptualize its political leaders. Reagan
thus appears as a series of posture concepts, basic equations which
re-formulate the roles of aggression and anality.


a unique ontology of violence and disaster.

Reagan's personality. The profound anality of the presidential contender
may be expected to dominate the United States in the coming years. By contrast
the late J.F. Kennedy remained the prototype of the oral subject, usually
conceived in pre-pubertal terms. In further studies sadistic psychopaths were
given the task of devising sex fantasies involving Reagan. Results confirm
the probability of Presidential figures being perceived primarily in genital
terms; the face of L.B. Johnson is clearly genital in significant appearance --
the nasal prepuce, scrotal jaw, etc. Faces were seen as either circumcised
(JFK, Kkrushchev) or uncircumcised (LDJ, Adenauer). In assembly-kit tests
Reagan's face was uniformly perceived as a penile erection. Patients were
encouraged to devise the optimum sex-death of Ronald Reagan.

Have you read Ballard's "The Assasination of JFK considered as a
down hill motor race"?
