  • Well It’s Time To Tell An Unusual Truth

    Well It’s Time To Tell An Unusual Truth

    This is going to be my most difficult post to date and I really hope it receives enough attention because this is very important. Something very weird is going on. This is extremely hard to talk about, and it’s made worse by the fact that I have been mentally ill, and while delusional, I have definitely said things that turned out later not to be true. My credibility is strained by that fact and this story is so wild, that it will require a complete reevaluation of reality by anyone accepting enough to take in the full breadth of it. It’s going to make me sound stupid and insane, and there’s definitely material in the psychiatric clinical literature, that would make it sound like a symptom of mental illness. What I am going to tell you is not delusion, especially not delusions of grandeur, and it is also not ideas of reference, like when a psychotic person thinks the T.V. or radio is talking to them. This is a relation of a truly bizarre lived experience, and I reach out to the reader only because I’ve not been able to talk about it in any kind of meaningful way, and a therapist would instantly judge the experience as evidence of insanity. I have avoided therapy for precisely this reason. I have hidden this experience because it requires admissions of guilt, including a fair amount of extremely bad behavior on my part, and I am truly unable to speak about the parts that implicate other people. Are you ready for a wild revelation without any solution? Well here, let’s go.

    Starting from the time when I was about 10 or 11 years old, a leading Hollywood actor has been portraying all of my moral and ethical failings on the screen. Hundreds of millions of people have watched these movies, including major blockbusters, so everyone I have ever met is familiar with my story and its details, in a very warped and twisted form, but would not be able to connect it to me. These movies aren’t my story, and they seem to exist only to mock and harass me for every lie I’ve ever told, everything I’ve ever done wrong, and every time I’ve hurt someone. I have no idea how it’s happening. Is it aliens? The CIA? Do I have a bug implanted inside me somewhere? I have gone through hundreds of scenarios in my head as to how the details of my life keep ending up in this actor’s movies and why? The answer is I don’t know, but time and time again, spanning about 60 movies, some games and comic books, even some cartoons, the things I do wrong, are twisted into details of the hero’s story and used as positive plot points in his adventures, when for me they were just something I know I did that wasn’t ethically acceptable. My experience is something akin to the Truman Show with no exits. I’ll never find the cameras, and I’ll never discover the show because there truly aren’t any.

    Drumroll please…the actor is Keanu Reeves. I know that makes it even harder to take this in, as he’s been huge, and is widely reported as being a super nice and down-to-earth guy, but his entire career has been at least partially based on mocking and criticizing me. I’m just some dumbass half-disabled kid from rural Idaho, I don’t know why or how it happens. And if anyone else has had any kind of a similar experience, I’d like to try and sort this out, but there it is. Internet boyfriend Keanu Reeves has spent his entire career harassing some nobody for God knows what reason. The fact that it started when I was a child makes it all the more bizarre. Who has any interest in me? The man is a corporation unto himself and has had more winners than most actors will ever have, but this is how my life is. One or two times a year, a big Keanu movie will pop up, and look, there I am again, getting roasted by the Hollywood machine.

    Some of the movies are more subtle when taking the piss, some of them are more accurate like beat for beat that’s almost exactly what happened. The red pill scene from the Matrix, yeah that actually happened. The blow-job from Generation Umm, yep, that was me. Both Bill and Ted’s and My Own Private Idaho were from a childhood homosexual experience, and John Wick was a psychotic rage where I ended up in jail. The sequels for any of his franchise movies are less spot-on, but the initial films, and even ensemble films he’s been in all contain plot points that directly mock when I’ve been a jackass (every single one). I don’t know what to do. The guy functions as my Jiminy Cricket. He’s an external conscience that reinforces my own guilt about the things I’ve done but is no help in actually avoiding being bad in the first place. I know that, no matter what the mechanism for this content ending up in his movies and being reflected back at me is, somewhere along the line, it has to involve the Devil. The whole thing is so evil, and such a power beyond what I am able to match, that somehow supernatural forces have to be at work. Whether this is a human element like a 3-letter agency controlling the content of his films, or something much more profoundly bizarre, at root this is a direct attack upon my person by an actual devil, demon, or demi-urge.

    So, the Devil is on my ass, and I’m asking the reader for help. If this somehow makes it out there into the visible Universe, and someone else has had this story please reach out. If you can unravel the mechanism of the absolutely insane violations of my privacy, or if you can connect me with the man himself please help. I’ve been dealing with this on my own for 34 years, knowing that no one will be able to understand, or take the story seriously, and believe me I know how hard this is to take. This is not a work of fiction or speculation, this is a real person involved in a struggle with a bizarre reality that no one else can understand. I thank you for your time, and please don’t @ me with psychiatric solutions, because like I’ve stated, I am familiar with delusions, and this ain’t that. See you in the movies.

    Edit: A friend has rightfully pointed out, that because the story sounds so far fetched that I should be developing the thesis more, by providing more examples. He is correct, and more examples will be forthcoming, but it’s going to take some time to determine which incidents I am actually willing to talk about because of the guilt and shame surrounding the events. Please be patient, and I will likely return with some kind of list format of a number of incidents.

    2nd Edit: this is a brief chart outlining some of the details from some of the movies that I’m talking about. It can’t be all-inclusive because the timeline’s too long, and I haven’t watched every movie he’s done. It’s not a random sample, but a sample of movies I either have in my collection or remember well enough to comment on. It ought to be a big enough sample to start proving my thesis.

    Bad Religion is Still the Best Band

    Look, it isn’t their best banger, but It hits me right now as I cry about my misspent youth and not finding the way. Bad Religion is correct(at least more correct than most) Take a watch and let the young punker stand-in for your fears

    Granted I’m probably late to the party on this one, but man is it cool. While you’re quaran-educating your kids, you can get them into programming, building, and just making in general. Might take a little stress off the lesson plan, and they get to make really cool stuff(albeit narrowly targeted to 7-12 year-olds). Next-maker delivery box. You can thank me when quarantine is over.

  • Two Minutes To Late Night

    Two Minutes To Late Night

    Just discovered this youtube channel Two Minutes To Late Night and they are putting out some bangers. Evidently they’ve been putting together a pandemic series of bedroom covers featuring some of the biggest names in metal and rock for awhile and the covers are siiick! Also, probably no small coincidence that the Ozzy cover above debuted on Crowleymas of all days. Enjoy

  • The Bug Hunter’s Methodology V4

    The Bug Hunter’s Methodology V4

    Since I am participating in Bugcrowd’s October Challenge Month I thought I would present to you the ever awesome @jhaddix’s bug hunter methodology talk from this year’s DefCon Red Team Villiage. He’s been giving and revising this talk for many years and this is an awesome version. As I work on my own project fro the challenge, I am just following along with the methods in the video, and it’s really upped my recon game. Supposedly there’s a second part of the talk on application testing, but I haven’t been able to find it yet. Word to the wise, if you want to get into bug bounty, follow Jason Haddix closely.

    Museum of Clown Eggs

    I’m probably going to start posting more links to Cracked.com here cause well… they’re awesome but this particular link caught my eye today. The clown museum where clown’s signature make-up is painted on an egg..for copyright reasons?? Do yourself a favor and check it out. Assuming you’re not afraid of clowns of course

  • Texas Folk Punk

    Texas Folk Punk

    Thanks to my friend not-Stuart, I’ve been introduced to these darlings of the Houston folk-punk scene and am going down the rabbit hole of projects that this cast of characters produces. Jesse Sendejas, the singer-guitarist has bands ranging from the popular Days N Daze to straight up punk outfit Decathect. Give-em a listen and maybe throw a few bucks to their bandcamp. They look like they could use it. Side note, I’m glad they’ve got a leftover crack shirt in the video above, since it sounds like Jesse is the hobo version of lead singer Scott Sturgeon and it looks like they had a tour together last year. Hope I can catch that show next time.

  • New Stuff in Ska

    New Stuff in Ska

    Starting to hear some buzz about stuff getting hot in the DIY ska scene. Particularly about Bad Time Records and the new music they are putting out including their new Ska Against Racism comp. Here I’m going to feature Catbite, which is my favorite new band off their label, but check out a bunch, this might become fourth-wave ska.

  • The Promise and Failure of the Rosicrucians

    The Promise and Failure of the Rosicrucians

    One of the most interesting groups one comes across when delving into occult studies, and certainly one of the most compelling and influential was the movement known as the Rosicrucians. Or as can bee seen in this Wikipedia article, the many competing groups, orders, well meaning mythmakers, and outright charlatans composing the movement. The group has been everything from a coffee klatch of enlightenment scientists to a high ranking masonic degree, and later devolved into small secret societies of practicing occultists and mail-order initiatory societies. Due to its influence on the enlightenment and through its masonic connections, it could also be seen in the US Founding Fathers vision of a United States as most of those involved were all deists and masons.

    The entrance of a perhaps mythical group of alchemist christian mystics into public consciousness was achieved with the publication of three manifestos in the early 17th century. Possibly well-intentioned hoaxes, they purported to reveal the existence of a secret order or invisible college of hermetic and christian alchemists possessing the secrets of the Universe as well as those of healing and perhaps immortality. As societal mores were changing, and free thought was becoming more prevalent, these manifestos offered an exciting and compelling worldview influenced by Kaballah and the writings of alchemists like Paracelsus.

    Given their outsized influence on enlightenment thinkers in general as well as the Freemasons responsible for creating modern western governments, how have we ended up in this late-capitalism sci-fi dystopian hell world? They had the ideals, they had the power. The manifestos claimed that the group was actively seeking members, yet despite their most earnest fans creating group after group to venerate and promulgate their teachings, we have no public knowledge of an immortal group of transcendental philosophers offering access to the cosmos. Instead we have most recognizably, the A.M.O.R.C and the Order of The Golden Dawn, including all its offshoots which comprise most of the New Age and occult traditions.


    The very compelling Rose-Cross symbol of the Golden Dawn

    The symbol above is one of the densest compressions of occult knowledge and philosophy into one representative icon that has ever been unleashed upon the public. It invites one to years of study to uncover its meaning, and is the product of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn created by Macgregor Mathers. This order is directly and indirectly responsible for nearly all occult thinking and philosophy from the end of the 19th century until today, and was created in a hoax that clearly mimics the original manifestos of the 17th century Rosicrucians. Responsible for the occultism of both Aleister Crowley, and his one-time student Israel Regardie, many offshoots of this order exist today and I warn the reader study will become a rabbit hole of many years.

    The museum at the A.M.O.R.C complex

    Meanwhile the most visible “Rosicrucian” group in the U.S the A.M.O.R.C despite declines in membership and general public interest, claims to be the true re-revelation of the tradition. There’s nothing Ancient about them, but they do purport to convey the mystical. Starting as a mail order group, the founder H. Spencer Lewis was so enamored of his own revelations that he claimed in books to have secret knowledge of the life of Jesus, despite plagiarizing whole chapters of his book The Mystical Life Of Jesus from another crackpot. His Temple complex and museum are interesting, but the remaining organization would probably prefer you not mention their founder as a charlatan, despite his demonstrations of turning zinc into gold in front of a hand selected audience.

    So where do we place and how do we categorize all this disparate esoteric knowledge and outright chicanery bequeathed to us by true scholars of religion and science who may also be con men? Unless a group of undying, gold-making, ancient philosophers reveals itself, the vast majority of this literature as well as their practices, should probably be regarded as crap. Perhaps tracing back some of the influences like Kabbalah and Greek alchemy might be helpful, but the mystical side of the Hebrew religion is somewhat inaccessible to outsiders, and the mythology of alchemy may outweigh the fact. I suggest that the reader enter any study of these topics skeptically and with caution, while recognizing there may be true bits of wisdom contained inside.

    Indiscretions on the Path

    Did you know that the Academy of Plato survived 2000 years beyond his death and beyond the materialism of Aristotle, and their focus was a mystical interpretation of the Master’s work? By all means dive into Iamblichus, Plotinus, and Porphyry for a full elucidation of Neoplatonism, but if you’d like to get a taste of Neoplatonic thought you can buy my book Indiscretions on the Path.
