Ok.Everyone lie down on the floor and keep calm.
I am reading this book and it is FREAKIGN CRAZY!! Bill and Jimmy took their
Modus operandi straight from this book. THE JAMMs, 23, all of that stuff. I
freaked out today when I read all of the sayings. It is all in the book. It
is a good read but hard to follow sometimes and it bounces back and forth,
but it is worth the reading if you have not done so. It takes so much lore
and blends it all together.
>From the Book:
"I got into the JAMs in Michigan City Prison," (John)Dillinger, much relaxed
and less arrogant, was saying as he, Simon, and Joe sat in his living
room drinking Black Russians.
"And Hoover knew, from the beginning?" Joe asked
.
"Of course. I wanted the bastard to know- him and every other high-ranking
Mason and Rosicrucian and Illuminati front-man in the
country." The old man laughed harshly; except for his unmistakable eyes,
which still held the strange blend of irony and intensity that Joe had
noted in the 1930s photos, he was indistinguishable from any other elderly
fellow who had come to California to enjoy his last years in the
sun. "The first bank job I pulled off, in Daleville, Indiana, I used the
line that I always repeated: 'Lie down on the floor and keep calm.'
Hoover couldn't miss it. That's been the motto of the JAMs ever since
Diogenes the Cynic. He knew no ordinary bank robber would be
quoting an obscure Greek philosopher. The reason I repeated it on every
heist was just to rub it in and let him know I was taunting him."
"The basic book to confirm our tradition," he said, "is The Seven Tablets of
Creation, which is dated
at about 2500 B.C. the time of Sargon. It describes how Tiamat and Apsu, the
first gods, were coexisting in Mummu, the primordial chaos.
Von Junzt, in his Unausprechlichen Kulten, tells how the Justified Ancients
of Mummu originated, just about the time the Seven Tablets were
inscribed. You see, under Sargon, the chief deity was Marduk. I mean, that
was what the high priests gave out to the public- in private, of
course, they worshipped lok-Sotot, who became the Yog-Sothoth of the
Necronomicon. But maybe I'm going too fast. Getting back to the
official religion of Marduk, it was based on usury. The priests monopolized
the medium of exchange and were able to extract interest for
lending it. They also monopolized the land, and extracted tribute for
renting it. It was the beginning of what we laughingly call civilization,
which has always rested on rent and interest. The old Babylonian con.
"The official story was that Mummu was dead, killed in the war between the
gods. When the first anarchist group arose, they called
themselves Justified Ancients of Mummu. Like Lao-Tse and the Taoists in
China, they wanted to get rid of usury and monopoly and all the
other pigshit of civilization and go back to a natural way of life. So,
grok, they took the supposedly dead god, Mummu, and claimed he was
still alive and was actually stronger than all the other gods. They had a
good argument 'Look around,' they'd say, "what do you see most of?
Chaos, right? Therefore, the god of Chaos is the strongest god, and is still
alive.'
"Of course, we got our ass whipped good. We were just no match for the
Illuminati in those days. Didn't have a clue, about how they
performed their 'miracles,' for instance. So we got our asses whipped again,
in Greece, when the JAMs got started again, as part of the Cynic
movement. By the tune the whole thing was happening again in Rome- usury and
monopoly and the whole bag of tricks- the truce took
place. The Justified Ancients became part of the Illuminati, a special group
still keeping our own name, but taking orders from the Five. We
thought we'd humanize them, like the anarchists who stayed in SDS after last
year. And so it went until 1888. Then Cecil Rhodes started the
Circle of Initiates and the big schism occurred. Every meeting would have a
faction of Rhodes boys carrying signs that said 'Kick out the
JAMs!' It was the parting of the ways. They just didn't trust us- or maybe
they were afraid of being humanized."
Dillinger laughed. "Yes," he said. "I'm the president of Laughing Buddha
Jesus Phallus Inc. You've seen them- 'If it's not an LBJP it's NOT
an L.P.'?
"Laughing Buddha Jesus Phallus?" Joe exclaimed. "My God, you put out the
best rock in the country! The only rock a man my age can listen
to without wincing."
"Thanks," Dillinger said modestly. "Actually, the Illuminati own the
companies that put out most of the rock. We started Laughing Buddha
Jesus Phallus to counterattack. We were ignoring that front until they got
the MC-5 to cut a disc called 'Kick Out The Jams' just to taunt us
with old, bitter memories. So we came back with our own releases, and the
next thing I knew I was making bales of money from it. We've
also fed information, through third parties, to Christian Crusade in Tulsa,
Oklahoma, so they could expose some of what the Illuminati are
doing in the rock field. You've seen the Christian Crusade
publications-Rhythm, Riots and Revolution, and Communism, Hypnotism and the
Beatles, and so forth?

causing chaos and confusion by bringing a direct, humorous but nevertheless
revolutionary approach to making records.
