The Godmachine
John Murray Spear's first and most important task, set to him by the Electricizers (the spirits of certain people including Benjamin Franklin), was the construction of the New Messiah. It would be built on High Rock Hill in Lynn, a town north of Boston, MA.
High Rock Cottage, where the New Messiah would be built, belonged to the Hutchinsons, who were both spiritualists and reformers. Assisting Spear and the Electricizers was a group that included Rev. S.C. Hewitt, editor of the Spiritualist newspaper New Era; Alonzo E. Newton, editor of the New England Spiritualist; and a woman called “the Mary of the New Dispensation”. The identity of the New Mary has never been clear. Nobody knows still who “Mary” was.
Bringing the Messiah into life involved four-steps. First, Brother Spear entered a “superior state” during which he was given plans from the Electricizers. Building it required nine months for construction (gestation) and in that time he received 200 ‘revealments’ providing detailed instructions on the materials to be used, how the different parts should be shaped and the pieces put together. The parts would be carefully machined from copper and zinc, and the total cost would eventually reach $2,000.
No images of the New Motive Power exist, but apparently it was impressive, sitting on a big dining room table. “From the center of the table rose two metallic uprights connected at the top by a revolving steel shaft. The shaft supported a transverse steel arm from whose extremities were suspended two large steel spheres enclosing magnets. Beneath the spheres there appeared a very curiously constructed fixture, a sort of oval platform, formed of a peculiar combination of magnets and metals. Directly above this were suspended a number of zinc and copper plates, alternately arranged, and said to correspond with the brain as an electric reservoir. These were supplied with lofty metallic conductors, or attractors, reaching upward to an elevated stratum of atmosphere said to draw power directly from the atmosphere. In combination with these principal parts were adjusted various metallic bars, plates, wires, magnets, insulating substances, peculiar chemical compounds, etc. At certain points around the circumference of these structures, and connected with the center, small steel balls enclosing magnets were suspended. A metallic connection with the earth, both positive and negative, corresponding with the two lower limbs, right and left, of the body, was also provided.”
In addition to the “lower limbs”, the motor was equipped with an arrangement for “inhalation and respiration.” A large flywheel gave the motor a professional appearance. This, however, was only a working model; the final version would be much bigger and cost 10 times as much.
The metal body was then lightly charged with an electrical machine resulting in a “slight pulsatory and vibratory motion observed in the pendants around the periphery of the table”. Following this treatment, the Engine was exposed to carefully-selected individuals of both sexes, who were brought into its presence one at a time in order to raise the level of its vibrations.
Then Spear encased himself in an elaborate construction of metal plates, strips and gemstones and was brought into gradual contact with the machine. For one hour he went into a deep trance which left him exhausted and, according to a clairvoyant who was present, created “a stream of light, a sort of umbilicum” that linked him and the machine.
It was at this time that the New Mary began exhibiting symptoms of pregnancy. The spirits instructed her to appear at High Rock on 29 June 1854 for the final stage of the experiment. On the appointed day, she arrived and lay on the floor in front of the engine for two hours, experiencing labour pains. When they ended she rose from the floor, touched the machine and it showed signs of… something. Precisely what happened is not clear; Spear claimed that for a few seconds the machine was animate.
The machine’s movements remained feeble, but this was attributed to the “electrical infant” being a newborn; the New Mary began providing it with maternal attention while it gained strength. It’s hard to imagine what this involved. Despite the headlines, visitors to High Rock were unimpressed. JH Robinson – in a letter to the Spiritual Telegraph – pointed out that the New Messiah could not even turn a coffee-mill; despite claims of success, A.E. Newton admitted there was never more than a slight movement detected in some of the hanging metal balls.
The Electricizers suggested that a change of air would provide the machine with a more nourishing environment – so the Messiah was dismantled and moved to Randolph, New York, where “it might have the advantage of that lofty electrical position.” In Randolph, it was put into a temporary shed, but a mob broke in, trampled the machine, tore it apart, and scattered the pieces.
Nothing of it survived.

Luciano Benjamin Menendez, one of the few, highest ranking officers of the Argentinian army during the military dictatorship and piggy extraordinaire, was sentenced to life imprisonment in a common prison with common criminals. Hopefully this will happen more often.

Oh yeah. They went there. I get the picture of a Horseshoe Crab scuttling along the sea-floor with a blue neon light shining under it. Diseased.

Radio Pirate Artichoke
Randomly spreading the Disease via Shoutcast. The best thing since anthrax, plastic explosives or funny smelling anarchists. Better than any kind of biochemical or nuclear WMD. Because it actually exists. Get it? It exists. Haha, fucking hilarious. Anyway, Radio Pirate Artichoke. Hooray for childhood dreams that come true. Space word.
Spore Creature Creator: pt 3
In order to strengthen my dark master's campaign for the upcoming presidential elections, I have produced a creature in Spore Creature Creator that resembles his Dark Majesty. Cthulhu for President.

Right. So me and some friends that I haven't seen for some time, got together and were talking smack. And we came up with the singular, most effective way to ruin your child's life. And make them hate you. Forever and ever. And ever. And this is by giving them the appropriate name. Now listen as I impart my wisdom. This is our imaginary child's full name:
Fontleroy Felix Edward Lloyd Arthur Titus Ignatius Optimus Smythe-Boddington.
or as known by friends: Font F.E.L.A.T.I.O. Smythe-Boddington.
Go on. Ruin your child's life.
Fontleroy Felix Edward Lloyd Arthur Titus Ignatius Optimus Smythe-Boddington.
or as known by friends: Font F.E.L.A.T.I.O. Smythe-Boddington.
Go on. Ruin your child's life.

Leila the Hijacker
Leila Khaled was born in 1944 in Haifa, then part of the British Mandate of Palestine. Khaled's family fled to Lebanon during the 1948 Palestinian exodus, leaving her father behind. At the age of 15, Khaled became one of the first to join the radical pan-Arab Arab Nationalist Movement, originally started in the late 1940s by George Habash, then a medical student at the American University of Beirut. The Palestinian branch of this movement became the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine after the 1967 Six-Day War.
On August 29, 1969 Khaled was part of a team that hijacked TWA Flight 840 on its way from Rome to Athens, diverting the Boeing 707 to Damascus. She claims she ordered the pilot to fly over Haifa, so she could see her birthplace, which she could not visit. No one was injured, but the aircraft was blown up after hostages had disembarked. According to some media sources, the PFLP leadership thought that Yitzhak Rabin, the Israeli ambassador to the United States would be on board. This was however denied by Leila Khaled and others. After this hijacking, Khaled underwent the first of several plastic surgeries intended to conceal her identity.

U.S. of A., Home of the Twinkie Defense
The expression "Twinkie Defense" derives from the 1979 trial of Dan White, a former San Francisco, California Supervisor who assassinated Mayor George Moscone and City Supervisor and gay rights activist Harvey Milk on November, 1978.
Let us all follow blindly the shining beacon of democracy that is USA. Cunts.
