Huh? Some might feel that an individual using the name "Clark_Kent"
and posting about clones of Art Wholefaffer invading the West Coast,
in a newsgroup concerning alien visitors, that this fits under
surrealism. I don't know, but it might be a reasonable leap of
surrealistic logic. Are there any experts in surrealism who can
make the call?

most of the readers of alt.surrealism are tired of the discussion about the
common misconceptions of "surrealism", so i'll be brief:
among surrealists, "surrealism" is not a synonym for "weird" or "strange" or
"absurd".
"surrealism" can only be achieved and sustained within a dimension of poetic
exploration.
> ...but experts in _which_ Surrealism?
a trick question with only false answers.
there is only one "surrealism" with many faces and no hierarchy of experts.
There was a surrealist named Sam
Who said I yam what I yam what I yam
He continued to croak
Until something broke
Cause he's been kicked in the head by a ram
And when he awoke
A strange voice spoke
I yam what I yam what I yam
I'm son of Sam
Chopping you into spam
Sam was naturally upset
And said "this is as bad as it can get!"
But then there was a screech of a parrot
Who said "Watch out here comes Barrett!"

which, of course, tells me something about "twitchb" but nothing about

Okay. But, what has "relevance" to surrealism? Which of course
leads me to wonder what is relevant in relation to surrealism and
who is the relevant individual to make the judgement concerning
what is relevant to surrealism? Does someone own surrealism on
the Usenet? If so, could someone post the legal relevant surrealism
contract?

Musings on Hyperspacial Photonics
and 20th Century Covert Technology
by V. Valerian
The work of Antoine Priore has proven to be a tremendous mystery
to many, but an understanding of some of the concepts behind his
work is essential in order to appreciate the mechanics behind
currently existing covert technology, especially in terms of
creation of disease patterns, hyperspacial technology and
spacetime weaponry apparently developed by the Soviet Union over
the last several decades. Somewhere between 1968 and 1973
Antoine Priore, a French scientist, utilized advanced electronic
equipment on terminal cancer patients, achieving total remission
of tumors and several infectious diseases. The research was
funded by the French government, and employed a complicated
mixing of multiple electromagnetic signals in a rotating plasma.
The mixed output was modulated on a strong rippling magnetic
field, and directed toward the subject. The immune system of
the subject, whether human or animal was restored. Another
effect of the treatment, much to the concern of the medical
community dependent on the 19th century vaccine technology, was
that disease-specific antibodies were created by treating a
single drop of blood and reinjecting it into the body of a
second animal with the same disease, resulting in total recovery.
These startling results brought on vigorous suppression of
Priore's work, due especially to the hostility of the cancer
industry, worth billions in useless radiation and chemotherapy
treatments worldwide. The French government was intimidated
into canceling all research funds, and scientists were unable to
achieve an understanding of the mechanism involved in Priore's
work. Bearden has done some hypothesizing relative to the
mechanism involved, and is convinced that Priore found a method
of actually engineering general relativity in the lab, creating
nested structures of local spacetime, resulting in a time-
reversed emanation which returned diseased cells back to their
original healthy state reflecting the original morphogenetic
condition.
Some of the work done by Robert Becker demonstrated that very
weak direct electrical currents combined with pulsed magnetic
fields produced redifferentiation in biological cellular
structures, also producing corresponding reorientation of
genetic patterns. Becker was eventually nominated for a Nobel
prize for his work. Becker also proposed an electromagnetic
mechanism for this effect, but preliminary analysis of his
mechanism reveals that Becker lacked an understanding of
hyperspacial and scalar electromagnetics. The work of
Kazacheyev in Russia, however, reveals more about the nature of
what is happening. The effect demonstrated by Kazacheyev became
known as the cytopathogenic mirror effect, and involved two
quartz containers containing identical cell cultures, separated
by a thin window. One cell culture would be doped with
substances that would sicken or kill the culture. When the
window between the sick culture and the healthy culture was made
of glass, the second culture remained healthy. When the glass
was replaced by quartz, the second culture would sicken and die.
Somehow, the disease patterns were transmitted from one culture
to the second when quartz windows were used. It has been
theorized that the transmission of disease patterns was enhanced
by the ability of quartz to transmit graviton lattice templates
which act as a carrier for the cellular energy patterns. The
work of Dr. Popp, mentioned in LE#78 relative to his discovery
of photonic emission from cellular DNA structures, also provides
a co-factorial mechanism that demonstrates that disease patterns
can be both created and reversed using electromagnetic
hyperspacial technology, and that fundamental cellular control
and communication systems are electromagnetic in nature,
especially in the microwave region of the spectrum. It has also
been demonstrated that biological systems are non-linear in
nature, automatically bringing in the effect and predominance of
scalar phase conjugate photonic phenomena. One of the major
barriers to the challenge to the military and intelligence
agency use of electromagnetics is the failure to adequately
demonstrate the viability of nonlinear electromagnetics and the
relevance to biological systems. Of course, it would never pass
peer review, would it?
In fact, the emergence of the Gulf War Syndrome can possibly be
understood in a more complete way if non-linear electromagnetic
effects present in a very dense wartime EM environment are added
to the known co-factors of experimental anthrax and botulism
vaccine, forced on military members during the conflict, in
addition to the anti-nerve compound pyridostigmine bromide,
neurally toxic insecticides the troops were instructed to use,
and the additional co-factor of tons of aspartame-laden diet
soft drinks provided free by manufacturers in the United States.
Aspartame, according to researcher Alex Constantine in his
monograph Sweet Poison, was once on a Pentagon list of potential
biochemical warfare weapons. The presence of common biochemical
warfare weapons was recently revealed by Pentagon documents, and
a media documentary reiterated in a past issue of The Leading
Edge revealed disease patterns outwardly appearing to be a
transmissible cancer-causing virus. Families of veterans and
their offspring are being sickened, and incidents involving
bizarre blistering of the skin by sperm ejaculations complicate
interpretation even further. There is no doubt that the immune
systems of veterans were deliberately compromised, allowing easy
impregnation of chronic disease patterns, even
electromagnetically, after low-level patterns were established
by the presence of the above co-factors.
As a more esoteric side note, the electrophotonic realignment of
genetics is also a component of presently existing Jahovah group
paradigms hinted at in the Keys of Enoch -- a process which is
currently in progress in the attempt to modify human physiology
into a genetic structure permitting a more perfect state of
compliance to those manipulative paradigms. The Keys represent
an attempt to align resonance to those same patterns through an
intellectual attraction -- the sensually attractive complement
is epitomized by the paradigm inherent in the Raelian movement
originating in France, and the overall control paradigm is
reflectively being implemented through the use of computer
technologies thrust on an unknowing public, along with the
presenting existing electromagnetic mind control networks. The
Keys, however, are valuable in that they reveal many of the
patternings of photonic impact relative to various genetic DNA
matrices, as well as some of the details behind the mindset of
those who insist on controlling embodied beings in this way.
Watch out for the yods.
Interestingly, there is an equivalency going on based on
revelations from the work of Kazacheyev, in that some of the
frequencies involved center on the infrared and ultraviolet
bands relative to photonic interaction between biological
structures. The infrared band alone consists of 17 octaves (as
opposed to 1 octave with visible light) with over 2 million
frequencies. The direct use of frequencies, per se, however, is
not as pertinent relative to explanation of methodology as is
the covert technological use of space-time alteration,
especially with weaponry that has the ability to disengage
biological entities from the time stream itself causing
immediate disembodiment. This is the kind of weaponry
insinuated by Khrushchev's address to the Soviet Presidium in
1960, and it has the potential to affect not only time constraints
of a few biological organisms, whether people or animals, but it
has the potential to effect the mind streams so important to
maintain connection to physicality for all life forms on Earth.
These are the mass weapons of destruction that Khrushchev was
referring to. Alas, western scientists did not have a clue what
he was talking about.
Alteration of temporal components relative to maintenance of
consciousness within a nonlinear biological system also affects
mind, as mind per se exists in time but does not exist in 3-D
space, much to the consternation of 20th century mechanists so
determined to prove the biological origin and basis of
consciousness itself. It has been theorized that mind, to the
physicist anyway, occupies a single dimension of Minkowksi
quadruple space of physical materiality, and that the attachment
of mind with matter (as delineated in the quantum co-mingling of
the body consciousness of the genetic entity with the
consciousness, primarily just outside the body, of the entity
occupying the body) involves a process entailing the flow of
mind itself enfolded in and connected to a time reference lock.
It is this same time reference lock, or the loss of it, that was
discussed relative to the disaster with ship personnel in the
Philadelphia Experiment. There is evidence that the government
has been involved, either solely or in consort with various
components of a negative alien hierarchy, in this type of work,
as we have run across innumerable instances where people have
crossed paths with individuals unlucky enough to have been
involved in such experiments, their physical presence fading in
and out during conversations. Since it is also known that the
NSA possesses equipment involving hyperspacial effect, such as
the so-called "invisibility belts" and other "neat stuff"
squirreled away in shiny briefcases, it is quite evident that
these technologies have been quietly developed over the past
several decades in resonance with some really "dark" alliances.
The integration of electromagnetic mind control and implant
technology, married with the profusion of computer technology,
externally manifested in the kinds of things we talk about in
the Leading Edge, is what is really going on behind the scenes.
Anyway, back to the discussions at hand. It is also well known
that many operations carried out in a manipulative way upon the
population on this Earth are being conducted from a parallel
dimension, if you will, or a parallel Earth, if you must. Sort
of a "they can see us but we can't see them" type of thing well
coordinated with a "they live" similarity over in our playground,
locally orchestrated by coercion upon the NWO power structure.
This type of manipulation involves the aforementioned technology,
and the insidious nature of these proceedings is manifesting
rapidly.
Einstein's theory of General Relativity says essentially that
spacetime "informs" mass how to move, and mass "informs"
spacetime how to curve. But what is mass but entrapped
electromagnetic/photonic energy that influences the nested
curvature within spacetime? An interesting parallel to this
utilizes an analogy to the HAARP project and atmospheric
modulations, since the use of massive fields causes deliberate
pressure gradients in the atmosphere, affecting weather patterns.
Other analogies can be had to the process of earthquake
engineering and tectonic deflection that are currently so much
in vogue with the psycho-political gradients in our rapidly
devolving society.
The symptomology of the Gulf War Syndrome is very unique. How
could the various co-factors responsible for its development
join together to produce a condition like this? When you
consider that all soldiers were given the experimental nerve
agent pyridostigmine bromide, over 150,000 were given
experimental anthrax vaccine, and over 8,000 received
experimental botulism toxin vaccines, it is no mystery that a
certain condition of low-level immune system dysfunction would
have been produced. It is logical to assume that the body would
gradually return to a state of normalcy, even after these
physiological insults. However, this biological substrate
composed of these three toxins did not exist alone. Besides the
free distribution of tons of diet drinks containing aspartame, a
known neurotoxin, and the presence of carcinogenic irritants in
the form of oil smoke, depleted uranium particles from anti-tank
weapons and other chemicals, the one consistent presence was
that of a very dense electromagnetic " smog" which would have an
additional impact on the human immune system of acceleration of
the breakdown of cellular control mechanisms, enhancing to total
composite effect of all the other combined co-factors.
Now, every specific holistic body state also reflects on the
quantum-based template present in the morphic field connected to
the biological structure of the body. First, the field
structure is altered by the administration of everything other
than the electromagnetic component, and then the altered field
pattern becomes overlaid onto the incoming electromagnetic
component, causing recovery from the biochemical components,
which no doubt were laced with animal viruses, metallic and
carcinogenic adjutants, to be forestalled. This would result in
the imprint of a low-level disease pattern onto the morphogenic
field. Because of the damage to normally cellular control
mechanisms, the normal recovery pattern would be altered.
Because of individual variations in the physiological immune
systems of the various military members, some could be expected
to develop rather anomalous infections right after their return
from the Gulf, whereas others would continue to retain the
electromagnetic imprint and manifest symptoms later. This, in
fact, is what has happened.
In addition, the genetic structure of the members was severely
affected. Disease patterns already present were "impressed" by
conjugate electromagnetic fields on the structure of the DNA.
This would predictably result in the genetic transmission of
disease symptoms to offspring. This, again, is precisely what
occurred. The altered genetic structure, by normal processes of
transcription, was passed on, particularly affecting those
physiological components such as sperm, eggs, blood and saliva.
This would result in the casual transmission of the same disease
patterns to family members. This is exactly what happened.
Families and offspring of at least 70,000 Gulf War members are
being severely affected. The transferred patterns, because of
their primary state in a slightly hyperspacial orientation,
would interfere with hyperspacial a priori patterns in the body
of those contacted, making it literally impossible for those to
whom the pattern was passed to defend themselves against the
problem. Conventional allopathic medical models would be
useless relative to any treatment of the problem. It is a
problem that has the potential of taking out the whole country
biologically, but since military members usually have fluid
exchange (kissing, intercourse, etc. ) within their own circle,
the problem is unlikely to spread. This is not to say that a
similar process could not be electromagnetically broadcast over
the cellular telephone towers, which resonate at the same
frequency range as the human skull, or over the military Ground
Wave Emergency Network (GWEN), which has towers every 200 miles
everywhere in the United States. Because the systems of the
human body are non-linear, the systems will function to
demodulate hyperspacial signals directly into the structure of
the cells and the immune system. The only way to resolve Gulf
War syndrome would be to use equipment using the technology of
Priore to cause time-reversal patterns to be implemented on a
cellular level to restore the a priori patterns relative to
health, especially in cellular control systems. The pre-
existing plan and intent to impose disease patterns upon the
population would explain the violent suppression of Priore's
work, since time-reversed emanations are the only way to undo
the damage. People would be getting sicker and sicker for no
apparent reason, generating astronomical windfall profits for
the medical and pharmaceutical complex to treat an ever growing
number of "anomalous syndromes." Combined with known practices
of injecting biochemical and genetically altering substances
into the food, water and environment that have been transpiring
for the past 40 years, the overall mandate of income generation
and population reduction mandates would be met. The only
defense against existing and future biological and
electromagnetic incursion by domestic or foreign parties is a
technology embodying time-reversal technology. The MRX
technology discussed in the Leading Edge is only a beginning.
The Clinton administration, as the documents presented
illustrated in LE #78 show, was offered the technology, but
chose to suppress it.

your comments are riddled with false assumptions.
any _subject_ can be relevant to "surrealism" when explored from a
surrealist perspective (i.e. from the perspective of the struggle to
liberate and integrate the imagination into our daily living).
there is no "surrealism" beyond the historical and current activity of those
who share this project. whatever becomes the subject of surrealist
investigation is by definition relevant to "surrealism" (positively or
negatively).
no one "owns surrealism", there is no "orthodoxy" and positions taken by
surrealists (living or dead) are never beyond challenge. what is compatible
with "surrealism", however, can only be determined thru such challenge and
debate (among surrealists).
because i saw in this thread no evidence of a surrealist perspective (and
based on prior experience i didn't expect one to emerge from
alt.alien.visitors or alt.syntax.tactical), i challenged the relevance of
cross-posting it to alt.surrealism. if you want to attempt a defense
against my challenge, please do.
if you can't, it doesn't mean such a defense isn't possible.
Well I don't know about all that... But, me and the misses
saw this here show on the Tee Vee set late last night
(passed our bedtimes) that was all about these Aleeeyins
and such. Well, I just want to say that, you know that part
where that famous author fellow (wrote The Shining, or somethin)
was a interviewing this abductee guy from the great state of
Tennesee? I think them two gentlemen looked just a might
too much alike if you get my drift? I think, and the
misses concurs, that those two gents must me aleeeyin
clones a each other. Scared me witless! Doncha think?
Interesting observation Mark, and right on the mark. I've tried to
explain that on Usenet you can't "win" because no one ever admits they
lose. However the pure surrealists simply didn't get it.
I find your observation to be "meta 'surrealism'" (a (set of)
observation(s) or theory which explains "surrealism" as pontificated by
a few in alt.surrealism.) Definitely on target.
Another interesting meta observation is that while advocating some sort
of holy "surrealist" crusade, Barrett and other miltant "surrealists"
are exceedingly reluctant to expose their brilliant thoughts to other
groups though the way they define this movement it is (in theory)
relevant to almost everything.
My suspicion is that we are dealing with an ideology which convinces
itself that it's changing the world while allowing it's alleged
practitioners to huddle safely.
It reminds me a bit of the Galactic Federation though with less
followers.
Brandon:
No, I believe it was Jacques Prevert in his book Paroles.
Brandon:
I would like some proof of this assumption.
You are both incorrect. It is 11:25 PM, as the crow flies.
Before we get into your (ahem) challenge, we need to determine
the groundwork of your conceptual images of why you feel you need
to make such a challenge in the first place. Did the individual's
crosspost somehow upset astandard in alt.surrealism that caused
you to become upset and crosspost back about corrposting posts
that do not fit your image of surrealism? And.....
What would be the linguistic "evidence" of a "surrealist perspective"?
And on what concepts would you base this judgement?
: if you can't, it doesn't mean such a defense isn't possible.
Heh.
The Raven gets invited to the party.She is well dressed among other girls
there and mixes and drinks with the officers. Maybe she will go home with
one.
Our Raven goes somewhere later and partakes of a substance that
unfortunately she is a slave to.The extras in the substance do their work.
Meanwhile, every name, face, license plate, and snippet of information
uttered within range of our little enhanced human is replayed over and
over-the voice glittery like glass as the secrets are raped from her
unsuspecting mind.
After the days long jag she crashes.
Maybe she dreams of aliens.
Maybe she dreams of \submarines and sonar/.
But she wont remember.
Peace to all.
Which make you wonder doesn't it? This all began with what Mr.
Barret calls a "challenge" to an individual's crosspost to the
newsgroup alt.surrealism, which he feels was not surrealistic
in nature and therefore was inappropriate for the group. This
would of course mean that there is some conceptual image of
surrealism that determines what posts are surreal and which are
not. This of course means that surrealism is then defined according
to these images and anything other than these conceptual images is
not surreal and can be "challenged". So, apparently there is some
mental mechanism that makes the judgement that a linguistic pattern
is or is not acceptable according to alt.surrealism standards.
This would appear to be based on a subjective system of beliefs
which leads me to believe that you are most likely right on the
money you post the following......
: My suspicion is that we are dealing with an ideology which convinces
:
:

because the rancid oil which has been oozing from various alien sandwiches
for the past few weeks finally reached a level which required me to clear
some space in which to breath.

the fact that you simply repeat this theme in response to a post in which i
tried to disabuse you of such misconception tells me you have no interest in
actual discussion, but prefer to play games which are dull variations on
"straw man".
i've grown very tired of this particular game and do not choose to play.
so i'll just repeat myself also:
your comments are riddled with false assumptions.

It's probably just a variation on the Duchamp thing; if you're an
artist, it's art, if you're not, it's a urinal. If you're a
surrealist, it's surreal; if you're not, it's just odd. Kind of a
closed system that asks questions that it knows fall within the
boundaries of what it can answer.
You issued the "challenge" that a crosspost was not appropriate for
alt.surrealism. Now, it appears that your "challenge" was not
surreal and should not have been crossposted from alt.surrealism
claiming that you have some working linguistic definition of surrealism
by which others on the Usenet should post. In other words, the
surrealist experst in alt.surrealism are not really surreal and should
not be crossposting unserreal theories about surrealism. Your "challenge"
was not surreal.
And? This does not address the challenge to your challenge that
your "challenge" may not be in and of itself surreal and should not have
been crossposted from alt.surrealism. This post may not be surreal either
and perhaps should not be crossposted from alt.surrealism. Who is to
say? By what basic conceptual linguistic framework did you offer your
original "challenge". Can you say?
i challenged anyone to defend a specific cross-post's relevance to
alt.surrealism.
which i repeat:
because i saw in this thread no evidence of a surrealist perspective (and
based on prior experience i didn't expect one to emerge from
alt.alien.visitors or alt.syntax.tactical), i challenged the relevance of
cross-posting it to alt.surrealism. if you want to attempt a defense
against my challenge, please do.
if you actually can't see the difference between that and your
characterization of my position, i would suggest that your obsession with
"linguistic definition" should be expanded to include comprehension skills.

surreal (adj., illiterate)
a vulgar colloquialism popularized as a synonym for "weird" or "bizarre,"
this is a word with no meaning whatsoever among surrealists, except as a
certain identifier of the user's carelessness or ignorance. [also: --
surrealistic, (adj.) -- surrealistically, (adv.)]
But you have refused to "defend" your "challenge" and why your
concept of what is surreal is the one that all Usenet should follow.
Perhaps you cannot.
You are the one using military terms to describe crossposting to
alt.surrealism. This is mundane. How does this fit into your
conceptual images of surrealism? Do you view it as a form of
linguistic military training? And have been assigned guard duty
in alt.surrealism to "defend" the linguistic turf against those
who do not fit your definition of surrealism, which you can't
explain? Are you an officer in the surrealism defense forces?
Or, just someone who feels superior enough to attack an indivudal's
post based on some subjective image you have of yourself as being
a great surrealist?
i address your "challenge to [my] challenge" in another post: it's just a
silly display of ignorance or game playing. take your pick.
but i am now afflicted with an idle curiosity: i have no idea what you are
referring to when you ask for a "conceptual linguistic framework" but i
suspect that it is something quite foreign to my life processes.
perhaps if you explain your term some illumination may yet be shed on your
misrepresentations?
[perhaps "Andrea" wants to add a few more uninterested newsgroups to the
cross-post list? this seems to be "her" life's work.]
You issued the original "challenge" and used military terms
such as "defend" to describe an individual's right to crosspost
to alt.surrealism. I have asked on what basis did you make this
judgement. If you need it in simpler terms...... How did you
reach the conclusion of what is relevant to surrealism? And
who are you to make this detemination on Usenet?
And, if conceptual frameworks are foreign to your life processes
then how did you make this determination? Guesswork? Or do you feel
that surrealism is your relgion and therefore you can make judgement
as to what is sin in that religion?
And, if I have to eplain the term "conceptual linguistic framework"
to you, try this...... What it is basis for your mental image that
you know what is surreal on Usenet?
Brandon:
Shut up. I call Surrealism a revolution, you call it a religion. This only
proves your opposition to Surrealism. You are a fuck. How is that for
conceptual linguistic framework, asshole!
Brandon:
And you didn't answer the challenge, so shut the fuck up!
>claiming that you have some working linguistic definition of surrealism
>by which others on the Usenet should post.
Brandon:
There has always been some working linguistic definition of Surrealism you
stupid fuck. Haven't you ever read the manifestoes? Breton himself tried to
define Surrealism and the concepts surrounding Surrealism, so fuck off!
you've helped me to no clearer understanding of your use of "conceptual
linguistic framework", but let me attempt to enlighten you as to my use of
"challenge" and "defend".
"challenge" as i use it is more accurately seen as an exploratory activity
(individual or collective) -- an attempt to identify and breach the
artificial limits and accepted meanings which restrict the potential range
of creative activity for all. to "defend" in this context is simply a
matter of accepting responsibility for your position when it is challenged
by another.
this sort of challenge (among surrealists) is expected to lead to a clearer
understanding of the issues involved (by both the "challenger" and the
"defender" -- often taking the form of a dialectic synthesis) and should
only be viewed as an attack by those who abdicate responsibility for their
conclusions, refuse to challenge themselves and insist on clinging to
positions which constrict rather than enhance creative reality.
if you insist on portraying this as the use of "military terms" go ahead,
but i feel no need to defend it as such.
as to your repetitiously erroneous "straw man" mantra (the claim that i am
somehow defending a static standard of "surrealism", or have made
"judgements" that i never made) -- i won't waste effort creating new ways to
say the same thing just because you refuse to comprehend.
so i'll just repost my first response (again):
>>>
your comments are riddled with false assumptions.
any _subject_ can be relevant to "surrealism" when explored from a
surrealist perspective (i.e. from the perspective of the struggle to
liberate and integrate the imagination into our daily living).
there is no "surrealism" beyond the historical and current activity of those
who share this project. whatever becomes the subject of surrealist
investigation is by definition relevant to "surrealism" (positively or
negatively).
no one "owns surrealism", there is no "orthodoxy" and positions taken by
surrealists (living or dead) are never beyond challenge. what is compatible
with "surrealism", however, can only be determined thru such challenge and
debate (among surrealists).
because i saw in this thread no evidence of a surrealist perspective (and
based on prior experience i didn't expect one to emerge from
alt.alien.visitors or alt.syntax.tactical), i challenged the relevance of
cross-posting it to alt.surrealism. if you want to attempt a defense
against my challenge, please do.
if you can't, it doesn't mean such a defense isn't possible.
<<<
please note: "because _i_ saw ... no evidence of a surrealist perspective
[as clearly described above] ... _i_ challenged..." if someone else sees
evidence of a surrealist perspective [as described -- or if you choose to
dispute my description], speak up and we'll try to resolve our discrepant
views.
otherwise, i let this thread slide into anesthetic coma.
I challenge the challenge and say that the challenge was not
surreal and should not have been crossposted from alt.surrealism.
If the orgiginal post was not acceptable according to alt.surrealism
standards, then his crosspost was even less so.

No shit? You folks have determined what is surreal on the Usenet
and who should be able to crosspost to alt.surrealism.
Please explain. And explain how you reached this determination.
And explain why it is surreal.
A revolution? A revolution that attempts to censor posts on the
Usenet bases on some nebulous subjective definition of surrealism
that you will not explain. And now we see a vulgar surrealist. And
I have no "oppoistion" except to pompous, arrogant Usenet know-it-alls
who attempt to censor and attack individuals based on their fantasies
of superiority.
Please explain why any artists on this group owe you anything at all bucko,
then maybe we will play your flame.
I know you not and owe you squat.
Leo
A vulgar surrealist?
Isnt that meta and therefore OUTSIDE surrealism then and a misnomer?
Hypocrite, you listening??
Hello?
Leo
Hell if I know.
I was asking if his revolution expressed in vulgar terms
included attempting to censor people on Usenet based on some
bizare twist on "politically correct" related to the
surrealism religion.
You are making two fatal assumptions.
That someone is censoring something.
That someone is a revolutionary.
What is the basis for these feelings of yours?
Leo
Sure, okay. Can we say, "mumbo jumbo" children?
Why are you so clearly afraid to have a simple crosspost into
alt.surrealism? This reminds me of the religous nut who is afraid
of the spiritually impure who might pollute their beliefs. So, they
attempt to shield themselves from any real debate, while of course
claiming that their beliefs are superior. It is clear that surrealism
is a religion for you, and that within that religion you have a strange
form of political correctness. Quite the opposite of surrealism as
it is usually known. You act like the surrealistic verision of
fundamentalist religions.
yet another dull variation on the game of "straw man" -- displaying no
cognitive ability beyond the level of conditioned reflex, and provoking
nothing beyond this yawn.

Please define what you believe censorship to be, asshole.
Brandon:
I challenge the challenge to the challenge that you submitted to Barrett by
asking you why you keep avoiding the question, fucker!
>No shit? You folks have determined what is surreal on the Usenet
>and who should be able to crosspost to alt.surrealism.
Brandon:
Are you, in a hidden, subliminal way, trying to get me to define Surrealism?
Surrealism is the demand to further reality, to push reality past the reign
of logic, in hopes of reaching the purist of thoughts. Surrealism is freedom
from society's artificial obligations, emancipating the mind and its ability
to unify contradictions. Surrealism is giving in to the imagination, and
accepting perception as existing in both closed and opened eyes. Surrealism
is accepting your fantasies and desires, your impulsive and irrational
actions, and all the things that would have you labeled mad. Surrealism is
the movement of the mind towards a clearer understanding of life. Surrealism
is "the pruning of life" (Boiffard, Eluard, Vitrac).
It is also the pursuit of the Marvelous, and the experience of Convulsive
Beauty.
It appears you have misunderstood what Surrealism is due to watching to much
MTV. Hopefully this will help you out a little, and may I suggest the
Surrealist Manifestoes of Breton, and his books Nadja and Mad Love. Possibly
you should even read Nadeau's History of Surrealism. You apparently are the
type of individual who believes Surrealism equals something "weird." I have
no more patience for fucks like you.
If he believes Surrealism is a religion that what else, by his definition,
is a religion?
Television stations?
Education institutions?
Marxism?
Republicans?
Democrats?
Fatalism?
Determinism?
Booksellers?
Couch patatos?
Basketball referees?
The police?
Do "rules" and "concepts" equal "religion"?
Brandon:
The answer is simple: We were not afraid, you just simply bored us. It was
not until Barett asked his now famous question that this thread became

Yea! Let's see what the Jerry Falwell of Fundamentalist Surrealism
can do with word games. That's maybe the only way he can vent his
fundamentalism and stop trying to censor people on Usenet!

Are you comparing your surrealism to "television stations"? Hmm.
I think that would be reaching. Jerry Falwell is more appropriate.

A canned "prozac flame". Very typical. Thousands of this kind are
used everyday. I would expect better from a Fundamentalist Surrealist
Preacher. You cannot spread the Surrealist Gospel without rising above
the canned preaching that your are stuck in. Everyone except the
Believers sees this.
Well, thank for the laughs.
I have been home sick with a cold and watching the Church
of Usenet Fundamentlist Surrealism (alt.surrealism) in action
has been entertaining. The canned sermons were interesting,
but Usenet is a new form of communication and the Church
will have to adapt its Commandments to this new way if
it is not to lose Believers and go the way of so many
Churches before it. Of course, the Church can remain the
home of elitists who believe in the Old Ways, but verily
I say unto you, unless you adapt, your Church will die off
and end up in the Garbage Can of History. And it will not
be recycled. It will be buried in the Landfill of Time.
Got to go now soon, off on a weekend trip.

Never hold discussions with the monkey when the organ grinder is
in the room.
"Winston Churchill"
Please define what you mean by "fundamentalist" and "monkey." I do not think
you know what you are saying.
Brandon:
I think the amazing thing about shippey is his ignorance to the fact that he
is not the first person with little knowledge of what Surrealism is to
wonder on to alt.surrealism expecting anything "weird" to constitute as
Surrealism. His motives are rather obvious: absorb attention which I am sure
Leo and myself will give him until he feels, incorrectly, that he has
exhausted this newsgroup. Like all individuals with a misconception of
Surrealism he fails to respond to any questions. I have asked him several
questions, just as you asked him one, and he has answered nothing. So for
shippey's sake I will repeat, rephrasing some of my questions, with hopes
that he will answer:
What is your understanding of Surrealism?
What is your understanding of religion?
What was the relevance of the crosspost in question to Surrealism?
Brandon,
I don't consider myself a surrealist. But I consider my thinking
friendly to surrealism. In my personalized view of things I would end
up altering your definition. I would do this because I am in love
with my body, and have no interest in separating it from the mind.
On a very basic level I see thought and action as being the same
thing. Thought is an activity of the body. It is the body
interacting with itself and the things it comes in contact with.
I would make the following alterations to your definition:
I would strike the word -- thoughts -- in the first sentence and
replace it with the word -- actions --.
I would strike the word -- mind -- in the second and fifth sentence
and replace it with -- mind/body --.
The rest I would leave the same.
