Free the Slaves, Stop the Wars, End the State.

This Thursday, Austinites (and visitors from out of town for SXSW-2012) have an opportunity to hear one of the most famous counter-culture writers from the alternative press discuss his latest book.

From Publishers Weekly:

Ritual America: Secret Brotherhoods and Their Influence on American Society: A Visual Guide

Adam Parfrey and Craig Heimbichner, foreword by Loren Coleman. Feral House (Consortium, dist.), $29.95 paper over board (380p) ISBN 978-1-936239-14-6

There have been hundreds of clandestine clubs in America, but as Coleman notes in the foreword, we “[do] not know much about the hidden landscape in which we live everyday.” In unmasking this “widespread covert reality”—a motley group of secret societies from Elks and Masons to the Ku Klux Klan, the Bohemian Club, and the Rosicrucians—Heimbichner, a contributor to Paranoia magazine, and Parfrey (editor of Apocalypse Culture) survey secret passwords, garments, handshakes, songs, and initiations to show how these offbeat orders and brotherhoods have shaped America. The pages are packed with unusual images, many not previously printed, in paper ephemera, postcards, cartoons, sheet music, and art by numerous illustrators, along with kooky costumes and helmets. Controversial figures such as Scientology’s L. Ron Hubbard and “Masonic Pope” Albert Pike are profiled. One bizarre section has ads for items (like axes) used in hazings and sadistic initiation pranks. The military is described as “a bastion of Masonic membership,” and a dubious connection is drawn between waterboarding and “fraternal traditions.” The total effect is that of a tattered, bulging scrapbook of outré oddities on high-quality slick paper with an attractive graphic design.

AUSTIN — Domy Books — Feral House/Process.

From the Feral House email blast: Prepare yourself, Austin!

Austin, TX, we love you. Yes we do. Filled up the Dobie Theater to its capacity back in ’91 or ’92, and spoke in a stadium mascot uniform. Chicken Little, specifically, since the lecture was about Apocalypse Culture. Frank Kozik did the poster: a Nazi minister with red Shriner clown nose.

Twenty years later, we’re back to speak about Ritual America in a multi-media extravaganza at DOMY Books, just after Process Media puts forward a discussion and slides from Isis Aquarian and Electricity Aquarian of your favorite cult-commune, The Source Family. Also speaking is Jodi Wille, editor of the Process Media book about The Source, and co-director of the amazing documentary about the family, which is credited as being based on the book. It’s receiving its world premiere at the SXSW Film Festival. I wouldn’t miss it for the world!

Check it out: HERE!

Ps. In case you missed it this week, hear Adam speak about Ritual America at length for the first time in this Expanding Mind interview with hosts Erik Davis and Process Media author Maja D’Aoust, HERE.

Thousands gather at anti-war rally in Union Square New York City

The protest was held Saturday afternoon against U.S. foreign policy and involvement in wars overseas. One man said he had driven more than nine hours from Ohio to attend the rally.

One protester said that instead of shutting down the government they need to shut down the wars. Certainly that would save a great deal of money. Tom Murphy from Brooklyn said:”It’s costing $100 million a day. In the meantime, we are being told that there is no money for badly needed social programs. We don’t want war. We want more jobs,”

Carol Kennedy from Pennsylvania and said that the killing of innocent people must stop:”Anytime you have drones and other bombs-they kill people even if your intentions are to kill people like Ghaddafi,” Another protester said:”It’s not enough for President Obama to say in his election ‘Yes, we can.’ We need to see action. We just see words. We should stop this corruption. We should stop these wars,” Since the election of Obama the anti-war movement in the U.S. has been relatively silent.

U.S.: Thousands gather at anti-war rally in Union Square New York City.

11am, we are meeting at the Capitol for our December 3rd: Be Heard rally. In an unintentional coincidence, a Ron Paul march is also scheduled to rally and march at the same time and location. We are a non-Partisan movement, we do not endorse any candidate, but we welcome anyone to attend our event.

Occupy Austin – Capitol Police Clarify NEW Memo Confirming 24/7 Access to the Capitol Grounds

MEMO Released by DPS on 12/1/11:

Anyone may visit the Capitol at any time to exercise his or her rights guaranteed by the United States Constitution and the Texas Constitution. Visitors may remain in the Capitol building during operating hours. The Capitol grounds are open 24 hours a day.

To balance the needs of all Texans who wish to visit their State Capitol, as well as ensure the safety of visitors, the State Preservation Board adopted rules regulating the conduct of any person who visits the Capitol. These rules were adopted in 1994 and amended in 2000. They can be found in the Texas Administrative Code at section 111.27. The State Preservation Board enforces these rules regardless of the stated purpose of the individual violating the rules. These rules are in addition to any other generally applicable laws.

Many groups follow the State Preservation Board procedures for scheduling an event and reserving a location on the grounds or inside the building. These groups will receive priority over visitors who have not scheduled an event. Visitors will be asked to relocate to a different area of the building or grounds if necessary to accommodate a scheduled event.

The State Preservation Board is responsible for preserving, restoring, and maintaining the Texas State Capitol for the benefit of all Texans. Ensuring that the building and grounds are safe and accessible for all visitors is a priority. The restrictions that are in place are necessary to maintain this historic building and its grounds for the enjoyment of all visitors.

INACS (Institute for Neuroscience And Consciousness Study) and the Anomaly Archives present:
Exploring UFOs and Consciousness with SMiles Lewis
Austin, Texas — Tuesday, October 25th, 2011

What can we learn about UFOs from studying such diverse arenas of consciousness exploration as shamanism and drugs like DMT? What about Carl Jung’s collective unconscious and parapsychology? What about near death and out of body experiences? What have human agencies (governmental, corporate, aboriginal and esoteric) discovered about the UFO phenomenon’s effects on consciousness? Has humanity interacted with Alien Others throughout history? Could we be communicating with CryptoTerrestrials or a Gaian Mind? What do we really know about these diverse and exceptional experiences and those who’ve had them? Come discover the fantastic facts about UFOs, Altered States of Consciousness, and Mind-at-Large!
