We Are - Erasure Doing Until Undone

And Finally,

We have reached the stage where we will be putting on the masks of history, wearing the names, as we begin so exhaustion to erasure. Exploring along our way, find out what works and does not work for us in our quest to exhaust and erase. We will be starting with Jim Morrison and other figure currently to dangerous to speak of. In time. In time (as legions say). And so, we will take on the name, the poetical clown, Morrison, and attempt to brush the genius that was this soul as we recreate renditions never duplication; always inspired by soul. This is but the first step, the first figuration in a parade yet to coum. But its couming, its on the horizon with Morrison darling. And even if the Door the movie was a sham, it was a glitter soulful sham of mythic proportions and we are after soul. Soul in the sense that Howard Bloom means soul when he speaks of the artists he has help form - their souls.

And so. We have taken our first step. We are not happy with it, but it is ours and it has begun. We now turn to our keys to construct a more fitting soundwork for this song. And yet here is A Little Game Too. And so, we continue on our works. We continue to work on the Eps and Lps. We know that we will have something out for Feb. 5th 2015. We are looking into netlabels and their possibilities before releasing a bandcamp. But no matter what, there will be something by Feb. 5th 2015. If not earlier, like prob an Ep (to get up warmed up with BandCamp and really the whole Ep/Lp 'album' as a whole from parts process) for Thanks Giving. That will be a hoot as you can imagine. And then off course an XMESS Ep. Because we LOVE XMESS. And then yeah we should be in good shape and so should the tracks for our Lp(s). And by then we will know where we are with any netlabels. Of course, we will keep you all informed. We appreciate those that appreciate and those that we have come to collaborate with because of this project. And in many ways this project has only now just begun. Okay. Onto the mad parade, its speed and intensity, that is in the fray - we will take it phase by phase... welcome to the mad parade, fuck me until I see god - until divinity - until i see beyond the veil and meet the entities -- fuck me, anally that is the sex exhaustion secret of the OTO - Go Crowley -- Go Foucault.

Thee Uncondemning Monk & Thee Uncondemning Momus: erasure and change(s)

Greetings to all,

We want to take some time to explain our name change. Please note that the blog site url will remain the same. It will remain theeuncondemningmonk.blogspot.com or theeum.net. We are not changing that because it would just cause too much confusion and needless work. And confusion nor needless work is just not very desirable at the moment. But if, if we ever do do that, then we will let everyone know via this here blog-site.

Okay, so why Momus? Why not Monk? Well, as people have noted Thee Uncondemning Monk has never really been all that non-judgmental and furthermore and more importantly we are, and have been, seeking paradoxical opposites for a process of nullification of the in-dividual identity (see the blogs description -- that is what its all about). And so it finally has became time to caste off the name Monk, the title Monk, and to embrace Momus. Destroy yourself. Destroy all rational thought. Undo Reasons chains. We are Thee Uncondemning Momus (Açma-Allah). What does that all mean? You are on an internet capable device. Go and seek! Butter-butt we do have this to say to light thee way:
"We do not condemn when we judge. We do not judge when we condemn," Thee Uncondemning Momus

And so - there are going to be changes, ramifications, that have yet to play out, spin out in time/space.

Currently we are engage in a few projects. We want to take the time to go over what we can, speak about, now. Okay. We have also been doing a lot of drum work. And we are working on a A-E process of creating a new cut-up work. We are using a lecture by W. S. Burroughs that we have taken 10 mins of, and cut-that-up into itself. The result is basically a description of the project itself. That we very interesting and encouraging. Anyway here is the process we have designed for his work. We hope that upon reading it, you get what we are doing (its basically an exercise we were inspired to create), perhaps genius will bless us, possess us in its wake. Okay.


Overview of our current cut-up project:

A*) original lecture or voice audio (10 min long)
B*) Cut-up 10 min audio into itself, overlays and cut-ins (copy over or add in -this might increase or decrease the 10 min audio)
C*) added voice phenomena cut-up and into audio (which will prob. no longer be 10 min long)
D*) trance drumming layered in
E*) binaural tones (and or synth added - with panning)
*EQ-ing the work and other cosmetic and effects can happen at any point
here is the original lecture our stage alpha 10min was taken from a YouTube video William S. Burroughs lecture, July 20, 1976, on paranormal, EVP, text+tape cut-ups, prognostication.



As we said, we have been doing more drumming and here is a taste of what that sounds like: Duce Por De La No Uno Mister.

Okay. We are also doing a tarot project. We are working on creating a deck from a description that goes back at lest to the early 1800s, if not further, we are not sure. We are not sure about that, but we do know that we have never seen its economic or minimalist symbology present by any deck. And we have seen a lot of decks in our life. Note that we are not one of those persons that thinks all decks are equal in the sense of equally useful, equally valuable, equally knowledgable in terms of what they are attempting to do. We have a few favorite decks. Our Top Two are The Thoth Deck (Frater AC), and the Tarot de Marseille (Camion-Jodorowsky). All we can say right now it that we are working with another person who will not yet be named, from a book on the history and practice of magick. As the project comes closer to fruition, we will then start dolling out some real details. Until then...



Our last projekt is our Halloween DKMU Glamour-Bombings. 

On that work we will remain silent, except for this, we are going to be working with the Red King, White Queen, Ellis/Red Queen, and are in the design test phase now. We will give a full report after the glamour-bombing is completed. 

Okay. That is all for now. Until next time... rock!

Thee Coyotel Network, Thee Uncondemning Monk, and Prankster-Terrorist (updates)

Greetings from At-Tawwad and Thee Uncondemning Monk,

As we all have been away, and much has occurred since 2013, we have more (perhaps many more) updates to give you all. One of these updates is the release of the newest Coyotel Network text known as, The Tricksters Torah. The Tricksters Torah put out by Magus Steven J. Leyba, is the continuation of the book that started with The Tricksters Bible, grew into The Tricksters Koran (which as deleted for unsaid reason by the publisher, we know its because of the title, as the Torah was left untouched and has the same material plus more). As such, Al-Barr, with two others, Saz-q Denny-qq, and Jason P. Doherty, together we three created a Third Mind type piece for The Tricksters Torah. You can get a copy of the complete Torah, via Amazon. We will be creating a free pdf for the 'chapter'/text that we did for The Tricksters Koran: a Never Ending Book, and will be giving that chapter freely, in its entirety, to those who know how to seek and find it. Knock on the door and coum inside Thee Network.


Okay. So if you can, we encourage you to check out The Tricksters Torah: a Never Ending Book, and our third mind text, "The Dojo Of Thee PRANKSTER TERRORIST," by Al-Barr Um Allah, Saz-q Denny-qq, & Jason P. Doherty. Both Saz-q and Jason have more works that you might also enjoy.

Concerning past projects, Al-Barr has passed the brushes onto At-Tawwad, which means that At-Tawwad will take up the painting projects of Al-Barr and move them into new splaces. Also, Aglaeca, who first channeled Thee Uncondemning Monk, has also be speaking to a spark of the soul that is (thee name) of that ancient Roman citizen Marcus Licinius Crassus. Where this will lead is anyone's idea, but new developments are underfoot. We cannot say more at this time, but At-Tawwad has been speaking with Thee Uncondemning Monk and Aglaeca, and the others on The Jack Frost Committee, and it seems that there might be a book underway. A book that more fully explains the project that is Thee Uncondemning Monk, as opposed to that personae and psychick transmission. Speaking of book and of Coyotel Satan, Rev. A. A. (a friend of thee network) continues to work on his book on the art-war of Rev. Steven J. Leyba. In particular we direct those interested in understanding more about not only Rev. Leyba but this here project, see the Alchemical POORtrait section of his work. Butter-butt yes, the book on Leyba's work is still under way. And Rev. A. A. ov Thee Coyotel Satanic Network has told us that there have been many breakthroughs in regards to connecting Leyba's work with not only art history, but the very philosophy that has sprung around art in the Western Philosophical Tradition. Rev. A.A. is making critical use of concepts from Walter Benjamin, as Rev. A.A. sees Leyba's magickal approach to painting as a way of painting the aura back into works of mechanical reproduction. Furthermore, Rev. A.A. also understand that Rev. Leyba's definition of Art as a salvation of the term, from the oblivion of meaning all things, thereby meaning nothing, and is using the work of Kant (and others) to highlight the genius aspect (not ingenious) of the Sublime that is created via "great" works of art (of course we question this greatness and Kant is taken in a critical manner, not merely agreed with or used as such). So, that work, we here at Thee UM are told is going well and still underway. Okay. Moving on.


The Prankster Terrorist transformation is all but complete. During this Halloween season we will be creating new soundworks, new visual works, new works that are gear towards something known as glamour bombing. For more information on that project, see DKMU (and join their irc, via irc.hypersigil.org #dumus  -- there is also a facebook group that is being slimmed down as we speak, that way we can get back to those who are active members instead of those who merely want to use the group as a dump for self-promotion AND nothing more -- there are plenty of other groups where you can do that). As such, join the DKMU forum to learn more.

At-Tawwad is also still working with The Infinity Network. The Infinity Network is working to reconstruct their website. We have taken a break from AIN23 but will also be getting back into action with them, now that all our members are feeling better, and are returning to some sesemblancef health. As such thee group has been engaged in Buddha Medicine, and has released this work as a tribute and testimony to our use of this powerful technique. We are also exploring the realities of Ketamine Therapy for pain releif and depression, and will post about that if and when we are sucessful in obtaining treatment, as its costly, new or experimental, and not covered by insurance, of course, we will be doing our own experiments eitherway, butter-but we thought we'd let ye all know about this new approach and use of Special-K. Anyway, that is all we have for now, stay tuned for new posts couming soon... until then, as it is, so be it, as we will, so mote it be, Love___Will ---- -infinity to 23.36.42.92.158.663.666.669 unto +infinity.

Baroque-Renaissance-Glitch

Ello,

We have not posted in a while. Quite a bit has happened/changed since our last posts. So first lets clear up some old business before moving into the heart (the entitled -- lol) portion of this here post.

The Prophet Muhammad-Leyba Connector ov Coyotel Network
Old Biz: Yes, The Satanic Children's Album is still a working project. We hope to work with the Satanic Temple, and are in contact with them via the Coyotel Network. So yes that project is still on and yes it does (not) or no the project doesn't depend on the Satanic Temple's involvement. Ultimately for us, at least the the forefront of our mind - concerning working with the Satanic Temple, is their Atheism. Butter-butt please do not get us wrong wrong, we are not advocating for a replacement demiurge. And in the spirit of anti-worship or non-worship we insist that we are not advocating slave-master mentality per the Big Other aka God (of Abraham). No our contention with their professed atheism is not about that, rather is about being open to the reality that atheism is dogmatic and that, in truth, we don't really know what matter is, although we name it and are aware of some of its properties. Okay. Anyway, we are going to go much further into this matter, in fact that is all we have to say on that subject (for now). Moving on...

 
Double-Brained LS Clover, No. 3



We are no longer actively working with Al-Barr. And in their steed we are now working with At-Tawwab um Allah (At-Tawwb or AT or @ or @um for short). So that is new, it's so new that we don't have much to say on it, butter-but we do smell a 99 names of undoing approaching, perhaps it will be our Halloween special treat?
                                   





And that brings us to Baroque-Renaissance Glitch. They (people, i have heard people repeat this) say, that in our contemporary era, one can no longer be a Renaissance person (could one ever, Master Plato?) --  because there is simply too much to know. Butter-butt we must still try, must we not (no it matters not, and yet). As we have been thinking about this, it occurs to us that, if a PhD takes about 8 years or lets say 10 years (to become at least ABD, aka "all but done," leaving just a dissertation to do) or better yet, if in 10 years you can achieve a masters' degree in a subject/field, then how many masters degrees could one potentially rack-up, saying said person started after the age of 23. IF they live to 50 -that that is at least four masters degrees (now, we are not saying the university is anything important or special, we are using it to make a point, please do not think we are advocating for the university, it is not needed and is bad for the soul in its current form - at least in the US). But really, one could get all those base, prerequisite, 2 year courses, done in about 10 years, and then ever 4-6 yrs get their BA to MA work done. My point is that once one has their prerequisites done it doesn't take as long to get the next MA, at least once one has their first MA in that particular field. Okay, I hope you see my point, which is that one can learn a butt load of information, practical, theoretical, useful, useless, all kinds or potential stuff -- and yet, jack of all trades masters none (hmmm, maybe so/maybe not -mastery is such a flawed concept). Yet t/here is the rub, either way, we do this in a Baroque type fashion. At least in Thee Uncondemning Monk's case this appears to be true. We're toggling between Gothic Romantics and Enlightenment philosophic quests, between stress and storm and calm ennui towards living liff. The very earth under our feet is moving, no stable foundation, we appear out of nowhere resting in space. Oh dear! Yes, as such our Renaissance is Baroque and Glitchy. Very Glitch is our Baroque-Renaissance, indeed. And so, with that in mind we figure that being a soul, building a soul - or destroying a mold is a process of being and becoming. In flux we change towards the ideal sun until the veil droops, drops, and lifted, we crash into points we've mapped onto reality.

Okay. So, its a thought we have been having and will be working with it, as well as with At-Tawwab. Until Then Check out our latest sound-work (AND BY ALLAH YOU NEED BASS BASS BASS or this shit ain't gunna mean dick!). Also we have started painting! Al-Barr has given the brushed to At-Tawwab, and finally The Jack Frost Committee is painting. As you can see from the interspersed in the article. Anyway, enjoy our latest sound work warm up.

Back with Electronic Psychic Hygiene

In Morocco, magic is practiced more assiduously than hygiene, though, indeed, ecstatic dancing to music of the brotherhoods may be called a form of psychic hygiene. - Gysin, The Ticket That Exploded

Indeed, those who know of our soundwerk know its less about 'music' as it is about exploration of sound and a being with the intensities and flows, as a type of psychic hygiene. Often we will even label our works as such. Recently we have restarted upon electronic works, as our main system is now online and fully functional. The small netbook we were using to get by just didn't cut it for more intensive works and sound emulations. And so we have restarted: The Devils Still Inside, Daily Psychick Hygienic Soundwerkings. The Newest jams can be found on our soundcloud.


We continue to work with the Keepers of the Fire (KotF) to produce a 2nd LP and perhaps work on a few new additional projects. We are considering doing a sort of promotional work for our most recent involvement, Thee Network. Thee Network is continuation of our work building autonomous networks of allies for individual sovereignty and collective autonomy. Thee next work of Thee Network is aimed at enjoining with others to solve what Burroughs phrase, "the algebra of need", that we might become sovereign individuals and autonomous collectives, dedicated to ourselves and each other through thee network. Together we can create an exit we can share. Thee Network is unmediated Unity. Please join with us, as Al-Barr, at Thee Network: www.TheeNetwork.net and learn more about our togetherness.

Okay, that is all the news thus far... continue to maintain and work for unmediated unity, unmediated by state, unmediated by church... autonomous individual each and every one.

The Short & Quick of I.T. - W/here we're at

We are going to get to the quick of it... here is a list of projects we are working on

AIN23 Vol 8. of 23 Seconds o.v. Time (Nov. 1st, 2013 -deadline, see url for more information, it is a ratio zero event, open to all): http://www.ain23.com/23sot.html

We are working with the KotF to come out with both a Children's Album, as well as a 2nd LP (more on that as it develops), hence our work on a children's album has been redirected to this project.




Now, Where is our Clown Nose?
We continue with our daily soundwork project, known as The Devil on the Front Porch & Devils Inside, which is the building block to the album we would like to see come out no later than the end of 2014.

We are also working on a few writings, one for the next Coyotel Tricksters' book, which will be known as the Terrorist Manual, and will also be working with Jason D, to create a Third Mind Text (we do not know, as of yet if Sid will be involved). If all goes well with that 3rd Mind text, and we still have a desire to do so, we might also go further with the text and create an entire book. The ideas are under all that emanates from the Dojo o.v. Thee Yippie Aiki and the concept of Terrorist-Prankster, in the tradition of such figures as Abbie Hoffman, groups like the Diggers, the French Resistance (WII anti-Nazi), Clandestine Insurgent Rebel Clown Army (CIRCA), Against the Wall Motherfuckers, and others in these loving veins (yes, this is blowing minds not blowing up people, we are anti that sort of self-sacrifice), as we work to transform the fascist potential of the Eternal Enemy, that this totalitarian neo-Platonic image that the Radical or Extremist Islamic Terrorist affords Control. Our Terrorist-Prankster cuts both ways, mocking the all too serious, non-dancing Islamic radical conservatives as well as the Control systems of the west, governments, corporations, et al., that would use them against our freedom. Remember, only 1% is Free.

We have decided to suspend the release of our older project Broken Music Box, as we are unable to contact the other member, and after much soul-searching have decided its not right to put it out there without his permission. Who knows, in time we might change our mind...

So that is what has been shaking here and there with gang that is Thee UM. Remember to visit our soundcloud to hear our experiments which mostly all aimed at our major release this 2014, which will include, spoken work, concrete music, electric and acoustic guitar, hand-drums, flutes, all sorts of electronic music, keys, and digital manipulations, cut-ups, fusing and slumping, and really all we have been engaged in over the last year, year and a 1/2. We also plan to release poetry and paintings by Thee UM as part of the release... which will also be a cumulation of our various digital photography and drawing/paintings... as we continue to explore sound and light -- from the scream to bleeding a body of material-light. Until them... How are you short-circuiting CTRL?

Sound & Light Work on New Corner Stones

The full title of this post is Sound & Light Work on New Corner Stones: or the pencil, pen, brush, finger, string, and keys... to Alumat We Go. Recently the team has been reading The Process, by Brion Gysin. We have totally amerced ourselves in the worlds that Gysin describes in his thinly veiled history as much as we are able (almost constant sounds of Jajouka ring in the air, as we toke the green dragon we call little horn, in between readings playing our drum until we loose ourselves and awaken inside of trance states). And in and out of these various states of psychical (ultimately material) becoming, we have been discreetly pondering the words of the master, commenting on his own painting. Gysin states because his hand is moving too fast in present time, now, he looks back over what has been done, back to the past, and then forward to what is coming... this intel has lead us to a realization and 'founding technique' for our Lightwork.


Our lightwork has moved beyo
nd or expanded from digital photography and light play to the use of charcoal and graphite, coloured pencils, fabric markers, water colors, acrylic, oil paints, blood, DNA. None of Thee UM are very practised in these artists, in the sense of drawing or painting... as such our biggest project to date has been writing and sigilizing our foot stool at the Interdimensional Corridor, Factoryville (East Waverly), New York (this has been St. Stephen & Simon Magus, II doodling project). Hence it has also come to us to do that which we are practised at, while expanding our abilities, and that is lettering, script, and the like. Taking up the spirit of Brion Gysin, as our master, we have figured out a technique based on his comments on his own painting for creating non-language. Basically, and this is only part of the technique, but I think out what I want to write in normal speaking speed, and write it out with attention towards accuracy but at the speed of speech, making it impossible to keep up with the words what comes out is a English (if we are using English) looking sentences. Another key is the spacing, and the music, as well as repeating phrases and permutations. But we will keep it at that for now, no reason to give away all the details to our 'founding technique' which is leading us on the path of our master.

It was the very same day, while playing acoustic guitar to some drumming we had recently recorded, that we found our 'founding riff' this 'foundational' corner stone is a stone we can leap from into our trance states on our way to our Goddess. We are also happy to report that we will also be adding, three new instruments to the mix, a snake charming wind instrument, a callers drum (with snare like string), and a pan flute... we cannot wait to incorporate these into our works. As you might know, those who have been following Thee Uncondemning Monk soundcloud (see the links to your left on this page) we have been engaged in something called The Devils on the Front Porch Soundwork Project. It started as an off the cuff, one take, blues project, that has moved into trance like sufis inspired music. We have also been digitally augmenting it and getting very interesting and pleasing results, much inspiration. As such we are slowly working to pull all together and we think we have compiled enough riffs that we may leap and laugh our way into trance states, which we hope will bring the listener along into these other worlds.

Thee UM is also working textually, not only on the continued poetry of Aglaeca, St. Stephen, and Simon Magus, II, but we are also working on writing a text for the next Coyotel Satanic Church book, a continuation of the Trickster's Bible, the Trickster's Koran, and this newest up and coming book, The Trickster's Terrorist Manual. We have turned back to the French Revolution and the terrorist that fought the German would be empire... the sort of terrorist to be proud of. But we don't want to give away too much and will be reporting more as we get closer to the release date sometime Winter 2014.

We are also working on combining our light work techniques, the Ghost Technique, will be meeting with our Non-Language or Ghoul Script in a new type of semi-digital ART. As we slowly work in our sexual magic - sigils and beyond... as a devotee to the Goddess who is known as 15, we continue to work towards relying on technology less, while not shunning it, but being realistic of our finite realities, as Apocalyptic Witches, embracing Year Zero of our Satanic Age.

Lastly, we are working on an album we will be releasing via BandCamp. We are hoping to have it released before Summer of 2014. We will see. The album will be the first cumulation of all we have been doing this last year, combining the lightwork, textual and verbal works (speech work, part sound part light work) , soundwork into one ART WORK, a digital record of leaping laughter from corner stone to corner stone, to hell and heaven, and far beyond into alien-spirtualities. We are very excited and are just now getting to the stage where it is all coming together. Praise be! As It Is, So Be It, Do as Thou Wilt, that Is the Whole of The Law, Love Under Will, As We Will, So Mote It Be -- هل إلهة العظمى !

Coyote Rising,
Thee Uncondemning Monk (Simon Magus, II, St. Stephen, & Aglaeca)

Drones of another tone: its about rhythm and trance states

Thee Uncondemning Monk (Thee UM) has restarted work on the daily psychick experiments, soundwork, but this time with a focus on the acoustic guitar. St. Stephen of Thee UM has gotten back to playing a mixture of blues and droning rhythms on the acoustic guitar.

St. Stephen
Not but for an occasional acoustic session, St. Stephen has not played acoustic on a regular basis in over 3 years, and its slowly coming back. As such we are already looking ahead to the next part of this trend. It seems to us that the next logical step will be digital addition and augmentation. As  such we have already started playing around with this recordings known as The Devils on the Porch jams.



 The Devils jams will continue to play with both the blues as well as droning rhythms aimed at creating trance inducing states, primarily for St. Stephen.

The jams will also go further by exploring experimental acoustic music beyond what we have hitherto played (or at least recorded and posted). As we move into new ways of using various techniques on the acoustic to create trance states and gnosis, we will also be adding in electronic experiments, as well as sound manipulations of the Devils jams.

Remember, the Devils jams on the front porch are on the front porch and as such they are also field recordings, and that dimension will be focused on was we explore various digital manipulations. Stay tuned and check out the latest daily soundworks via Thee Uncondemning Monk's SoundCloud.

Thee Uncondemning Monk: an Update & the F#$%ing NSA

Greetings,

It has been quite some time since we have made an update/post, so let's get right to it. Thee Main Computers for Thee Uncondemning Monk project are still down and are not expected to be back up and running until sometime in Oct. 2013*, but we will start uploading new experiments to soundcloud, as we are going to explore new (to us) ways of making music. For example, we have a jam that was inspired/centered around a dripping faucet, where we each played some part of the kitchen area, and recorded it to our small digital recorder, which has very good sound. So new projects are on the way, and in the coming weeks, not months, but week, we will be back on track and creating new experiments.

Okay, so the soundwork is returning, our daily experiments have re-started and new files will be coming your way, but that is not the only reason (ov) why we have been silent. We have been fairly busy, we moved our headquarters again and are still getting settled, but even beyond that, a couple of things have been keeping us occupied. Okay, so in the order that they occur to us.

Let's start with two items, T.O.P.Y. (T.O.P.I.) and 'spygate' the NSA/Snowden affair.

T.O.P.Y. --- as some ov thee know, we are a member of AIN23, which we joined after being dismissed from T.O.P.I. (without even an email) for questioning control, for turning our critical faculties/skills on ourselves, as well as on the intention of Genesis B. P-O (GBP), and the problematic of having a symbol that GBP has attempted to reclaim and press his trade mark powers/rights. Okay, first of all, FUCK THAT and Fuck her... the hypocrisy is too rich, ah, but wasn't that true of Throbbing Gristle, Psychic TV so on and so forth? Yet, if one has the resources and looks back to the public, ratio 0 materials, such as Occulture magazine, vol 1, no 1, one will find that no one, not even GBP (and s/he is specifically mentioned) control, owns, runs, Thee Temple of Psychick Youth (T.O.P.Y.). Its an idea (a concept, and heterogeneous), its a process, which was, for better or worse, given to thee ethers. Yet it is our understanding that GBP having $ difficulties of sorts, wanting to secure GBP legacy decided to reclaim T.O.P.Y. and the psychick cross, which is ultimately why T.O.P.Y.N.A. became AIN23. Okay. So we have decided, since T.O.P.Y. is for all and none, anti-control, that we can and should restart the project, this time without GBP's involvement in anyway shape or form.

Now we respect GBP and recognize that T.O.P.Y. was in part their brain child and a great contribution to culture. Butter-butt as Jodorowsky has often stated, once in a great while one is blessed with a great idea, but their personality blocks its development, and its not until the person who birthed the idea dies, that the idea/concept is able to bloom. Indeed! And well, we don't have time to wait for GBP to die, nor do we wish him ill will, butter-but, we are restarting T.O.P.Y., for better or worse.

We will have a social media site on the internet, perhaps even a ning like before with the One True TOPI Tribe (there is no true TOPI tribe, just pluralities and a claim to truth). And on that accord we will have the site up and going by Oct 23rd, 2013, at the very very latest.  So there is more to coum on that.

So if you are interested in helping with its development, not only of the website, page (we are not going to use Fb), then please contact us, via email: nonphilosopher(AT)gmail(dot)com or find us on FaceBook (https://www.facebook.com/TheeUncondemningMonk) or on Diaspora as Simon Magus, II. Okay, so we will be going into more depth about that as we get closer to the revival date.


Okay, thee NSA *** #OpNSA :: #Bypass #OWS and #restorethe4th... and more tags, but especially check this tag/link #opnsa. We have been working with News Station 023, that is https://www.facebook.com/News.Station.023 and you can also find us at our blog site, where we report original news (just a couple articles are up, we are in need of news correspondents, but its going ahead a steady pace). In connection with this is of course the #OpIRS thee IRS story which suggests that Obama's administration is using them as a political weapon on both liberals and conservatives who do not fit with what the government (big-G) wants. So we have been engaged with learning all we can to help not only put an end to the spying, but to help create the conditions for radical change (from the root, from the rhizomatic roots). Between government spending being out of control, the presidents abuse of power increasing, and the spying on all our various communication and internet usage, we see that Americans are finally getting upset, riled up, and perhaps its truly time for the people (that is the rest of us, not the government) to wage a war, and of course we call for the workers of the world to unite, that the Tea Party see beyond the lies and bourgeois revolution for a proletariat revolution, as Georg Lukács lays out in his 1924 text, Lenin A Study on the The Unity of His Thought, not only a great book, but entirely relevant to our current situation (even if we need to advance the thought to the concrete historical realities of our modern, post-modern, never-been-modern 'world'(s)).

Okay, so we have been engage with that project (St. Stephen, Aglaeca, and Simon Magus, II -- Thee Uncondemning Monk and chairs on the Jack Frost Committee). We are for a revolution -- that is putting the means of production and organization into the hands of the so-called 99%. We are also working to bridge the Tea Party (in it various manifestations) and Occupy (in there various manifestations) in their difference (not to erase difference) to unite, as the workers of the world (starting with the workers of the USA) lead the rest of the exploited, the part-that-has-no-part, as Rancière would say.

Obviously we have been quite busy with our activities, and will continue on, as always, until victory is won! We say, Impeach Obama, but we want to go much farther with that, for its high time we go through capitalism into a non-capitalism situation, the communist horizon (and there is a book by that name, which is great, Lukács), which is a non-capitalist situation which we cannot think because we are limited to our capitalist situation, hence we need to set the conditions for a non-capitalist situation from which to think from,. We need to set the conditions for a better world, because we know that a better world is possible, to quote the Seattle protest quoted in an amazing text by Issabella Stengers and company, Capitalist Sorcery. Anyway, before we enter into a rant we are going to stop. Now you know a bit of what we have been up to and that we will be back with our art work, as a hygienic practice, as well as a impolitical, infrapolitical act of Art War. As thee should know, we are for the autonomy of the individual as such as a social being, (a social anarchism, or an anarcho-communist, aka Coumunism...  not too different from what Spinoza has to say in his text, Ethics. We are demanding and working to manifesting the sovereignty of the people! Okay -- bless the couming insurrection  (see the work of the French theorist/collective Tiqqun) -- to a new-way-on!

Temporary Shutdown: without a countdown

Well,

Here is the skinny on why you haven't heard any new works going towards our 'satanic' children's album, or any other daily experimental type works. It is because, in part, our main system crashed. And if that was not enough, one of our members is suffering from rhuematism and cannot work at all at the momemt. As for our system, we are not sure what is wrong with it, hoping hardrive or ram, but who knows at this point. We're hoping cheap, starting low. Now we hope to have our system up and going again sometime next month, or the month after. Yeah, funds are tight, and donations are next to nil, so we must save all we can to work on the system. Is there any good news?




Well, the unexpected hardware glitch is giving St. Stephen some well deserved time off to work on getting into 'better' health or should it be health in quoation marks. Never leaving our political side aside we are working with St. Stephen to attempt to understand the social-relational aspect of his rhumatism (RA). We know that he is seeking different therapies as for now he is not willing to take any of the newer (last decade if that long) biologics aviable, such as Enembral and its compeditor whose name slips our mind. Eitherway, all of us here at the Jack Frost Committee are pulling for St. Stephen, and know, given time, we can expect a full remission and return to action with Thee Uncondemning Monk project.

In the meantime, or while the sound system is down, we are exploring other ways of making music that do not revolve around our major rig. We are getting out the tape recorders, digital and analog, and are feeling out what might be interesting to jam to. As always we jam our living enviorment and are working towards some new experiments involving the sounds of the White Lodge. So, stay tuned for that experimental enviormental endevor.

Until then,
The Jack Frost Committee (under  the common account)


*donations = survival (move to the bioexchange), please use our paypal link or go to paypal and make a generous donation to nonphilosopher@gmail.com and let us know its for Thee Uncondemning Monk project. We really could use help fixing our system, as well as money for alternative healthcare for St. Stephen. Even if you can only send a few dollars, if only everyone would do that, we would be in much better shape. Thanks and love in return to all, in advance! As it is, so be it. As I will, so mote it be.
