Membership in the group is not a requirement for contribution. Toxic Shock Disclaimer If you're looking for some people who cannot think for themselves out of fear of offending someone or being misinterpreted, who are so full of Greyface propaganda that they feel having fun is a S-I-N, who are so fucked up in the head as to think everything in this world is just fine and those things that aren't should not be discussed, then congratulations. You've found one. Just look in a mirror. What this means, for those of you whose degree of intelligence is on the level with that of an extraordinarily dumb rock, is that we say what we want to say, how we want to say it, about whatever we want. If you don't like what we do, we don't give a fuck. If you feel every single thing that is ever written must have some deeply significant meaning, if you are looking for good, clean, family entertainment, then you will be let down. If you are angered by those who think that humanity and the entire planet is heading for crisis thanks to arrogant, intelligent homo sapiens, if parodies really piss you off, especially when of The B-I-B-L-E, if you get extremely perturbed by anything dealing with the darker side of life, then you will be the most angered, perturbed, pissed off individual that has ever set foot upon this toxic waste dump we call Earth.

A BBS List Information About Contributions We will consider anything and everything by almost anybody. If you want to give it a try, contact Bloody Afterbirth on Lunatic Labs. Future issues will be devoted, mainly, to a single topic or type of file. We are not really looking for light fiction (entertainment only), but if it is good we'll probably use it. (Parodies are looked upon with favor) What we WANT are serious, thought provoking, informative files. Fiction that makes a statement, magazine or book excerpts, essays or interviews, etc. If it is relevant and well written, it will probably be used at some time. If you are seriously considering contributing, you really should call Bloody Afterbirth and ask what topics he is planning for upcoing issues. Future issues will not necessarily be anything like this one. [BA:They will be much better.] ____________________________________________________________________________ Unborn Aflame !*@&#^$%#^@&!*@&#^$%#^@&!*@&#^$%#^@&!*@&#^$%#^@&!*@&#^$%#^@&!*@&#^$%#^@&!* This is Bloody Afterbirth, screaming at ya from the position of Editor on this, our gloriously mundane first newsletter... I've wanted to do one since the very first night we were Conceived (heh heh), and the name I would give it has always been known. . . But quite frankly, I wasn't sure we would be around long enough, or that I would be involved at all for very long... So I waited until I felt we were pretty well settled into things and somewhat established... I just sent the 59th Toxic Shock file to the main board and Gross Genitalia is working on a very awesome concept-file, so this is our sixty-somethingth file. As I explain in "Electric Death", the group has gone through hell and the two frontmen have done some soul searching and found a little bit of a niche. I would say that we, at least, know where we're heading. But I'm not so sure about the modem community, which is the subject of this editorial. About a month or so ago, Ripco was taken down. But he isn't the only one...boards everywhere are either being taken down or are going down voluntarily. Most of the volunteers are chickenshits who panic anytime some guy in Australia gets a parking ticket; some are bigger boards that can't risk fighting the law. But, with Ripco down and, as I have heard, Metal AE took his down, I think the only board still up that was up when I first called out is P-80...and I'm not too sure about it since I never call it anymore. What the hell is happening? I'll tell you what has happened, is happening, and will happen. I got my first code off of QuantumLink in a private area someone had called "Wearedead." Because I had some warez, I was invited to join with them. Back when Qlink had "Person-2-Person" transfers, all you had to know was who sent what and you could get it. We were mass pirating on a commercial board, right under their noses. But...very few people were passing warez. What I saw was a bunch of numbers...numbers that meant nothing to me. But it was information, it was knowledge, it meant SOMETHING. I didn't know what a 950 was. I didn't know what ESS was. I didn't know what phreaking was. I couldn't hack a high school maintenance computer. I thought the only way to use a credit card was to steal one. But here were credit card numbers...Visas, MasterCards...I didn't dare ask how to use them...I just captured it all...I see a number followed by "[MCI]", and then a bunch of other numbers. The guy says that the second bunch are "fresh codez - just hacked". I began to catch on. I see numbers to departments in the government, to NASA, to some major corporations...accounts on Compuserve and PeopleLink...more numbers to big schools...not knowing what I was looking at, I just took it all down...all of it...I was onto something... After many hours of this, I suddenly came to a realization...I had a bunch of knowledge, but it didn't mean shit because I didn't know how to use it...Someone I had met (calling himself Cronus locally...now known as Fetal Juice) seemed to know an awful lot about what went on outside of the local area...He knew a lot about computers...Perhaps he would know! And so I asked him about the 950s...he explained them...I asked him about the codes and about "phreaking"...he explained them and gave me the most precious things I ever got on any system...my first files. The files not only told what the codes were, but how to use them and how to get more...So simple! So EASY! And this friend of mine was calling out (phreaking, if you wish)...When I had a question, this dude had an answer, or could direct me somewhere where I could GET an answer... I met others...The White Knight, running his Atari Castle...Amadeus... I began using the codes...I began using the cards... Cronus/Fetal wrote a codehacker...it worked...a virtually unlimited supply of codes for us...We scanned the local area and found computers everywhere...and local ports for MCI...PBXs... One of the files I originally got contained a little message at the end of it..."Ripco 312-528-5020 Quick Validation" Whatthehellisaripco? I called it up...My 300 baud modem got me an ass chewing I still haven't forgotten...1200 came to me soon. I called it up again...It asked so few questions...but this guy that ran it...he had a hell of an attitude...an ego, but he wasn't arrogant..I had my access the next day...no call of validation, apparently, because I didn't live in Kentucky but whoever had that phone number did. And what I saw blew my ass right through the top of my head. A G-File section...I checked it out and HOLY FUCK BATMAN! he had a lot of files. I checked out a few...more code lists, more info on hacking...Anarchy? I checked it out...explosives, destruction, lock picking...KNOWLEDGE! INFORMATION! The message bases were full of people talking about shit that I knew zilch about. Codes and cards were flying around like so much dust in the wind. Numbers for computers just gotten...Boards coming up, all of them dedicated to free speech, free thought, free action. All had files. Dave Letterman was roaming around...The Metal boards were up and, so I was told, were the best in the nation. Anything I could possibly want to know, I could find out. Virgin systems awaiting the thrust of my electronic hip...INFORMATIVE files being pumped out by the dozen. And ya know what? Sprint...MCI...The Government...The whole fucking SYSTEM couldn't do SHIT to ANY of us! NOBODY was getting caught! It was so damn easy it was PATHETIC! And ya know what? That fucked everything up. The hackers...the TRUE hackers...were very willing to tell almost anyone what they knew. Knowledge and information were shared almost carelessly. And the computer which I had been using for quite awhile suddenly because very popular. The Commodore 64. Every little spud in the world was suddenly into computers. Before, almost everyone I knew was on an Apple. All the best boards I called were on Apples. Tandy had some good boards. I never did see an IBM board that was any good. BUT...The 64 changed all that. It had games, better games, the baddest games. And the little kiddies wanted to pirate. But for efficient pirating, the mail sucked. "Well, let's all just phreak!", they said. They found out how to phreak...they learned how to hack codes...thanks to code hackers, which abounded, anyone and everyone could get codes...They thought using codes was the only way to phreack...boxing went into oblivion as the majority chose to be ignorant. It wouldn't be so bad...but the schmucks liked to brag. They had to show off what they knew. Before, people told what they knew because the ONLY people who had computers KNEW their computers. The entire modem community was an elite society. Schmucks Did Not Exist. And now they came...A Deluge of schmucks. THEY had to show off. THEY had to brag. THEY had to run their mouths. They were careless and stupid. They thought not of risks, not of the future, but of the present. They made mistakes...oh did they make mistakes. And all our Big Brothers caught on. They watched the idiots running around like beheaded chickens. They watched and they learned...Our Big Brothers are not entirely stupid. People began to be busted. Sure, mainly the schmucks... But if you have 10 eggs, 9 of which are bad, and drop them all from a roof...even the good one goes splat...If you bust 100 people and 5 of them are the True Ones, they're still busted... When the schmucks draw attention to EVERYONE, noone is safe. Security got beefed up. ESS took over. ANI came over. Files suddenly were copies of other people's work...How many versions of the Poor Man's James Bond files have you seen? How many people do "Lineman's Headsets"? And, even though we've done a flamethrower file, how many files about them are out there? Boards went down and people went down..because a schmuck narced on a cool True One. They narc to save their ass. They narc on boards and on people. Jeremy Hall narced on Amadeus...many boards, many mail boxes, etc etc... And it was a keen-thing-to-do. Turn in, you go free. They turn in, they go free. A neverending cycle...Until a cool person gets in the gears. Such as Fetal Juice...when he got busted, he could easily have narced on White Knight, Amadeus, me, and a few other people...Lots of boards, too. He said nothing. That cycle stopped. That was up until the recent and present time. I gave a guy about 6 or 7 megs of text files. These are the BEST FILES that have ever existed! They tell you anything and EVERYTHING you could want to know about hacking or phreaking. Hell, I even gave him all the Phrack newsletters I could find on my harddrive! And the bastard asks me how to phreak. He has the files, but he will not read them. I showed him a fake account on BIX...but when I also told him that he could always get traced and have his system taken from him, he jerked his nuts into his abdomen and shit a purple turd. He still asks how to phreak..."Read the files." He still asks how to phreak. That is now. Ripco is down...I didn't like it much anymore...I don't phreak much anymore because of the risks the schmucks have brought on (and I can go to prison for it now. Do it while you're young.) I offer my files to almost everyone. None want them. I offer codes and cards to almost everyone. None want them because none can use them. I offer knowledge and information. Nobody wants it. Nobody cares. Where has the thirst for knowledge gone? Where are those who would bang away for days to get just a little peek in a new system? Where are the trashers? The carders? The phreakers? The hackers? Why is it that nobody wants to know anything? Why does noone want to WORK for anything? Why must everything be given on a silver platter with instructions a fetus could understand? Has curiosity killed all the cats? Are all that's left a bunch of dogs, flea bitten curs that gladly sit lazily in the shade, letting what goes on go on? Where are those who stand up for what they think? Where are those that THINK? Can you see what is happening? I describe the past and ask questions about the present. What about the future? Our rights have left. People are becoming mindless automatons of semi-sentient flesh. They listen to the brainwashing propaganda that is pumped out every hour every minute and every second of every day of every week of every month of every YEAR! Noone wants to know...noone wants to learn... Files were drugs to me. Computers were drugs to me. Boards were drugs to me. I got high off of calling out. The thrill I felt back then was better than any high you can get today, even Crack...it was better than sex... There are so few of the True left... Chalk up another endangered species... In a day where a computer has to have a fucking mouse and a pretty desktop environment so people won't have to type with their precious fingers or learn how to actually use the system, the Society is fucked. In a day where stupid fucking files about sex and slaughter are all that a group puts out, and all that are asked for, the Society is fucked. I have been asked to do more files like "Night of the Fetus"...more of my parodies...I have no problem with writing my stories, I love to write. But...NOT...ONE...SINGLE...PERSON...has asked us to be informative. NOONE asks us to do anything except be obnoxious. Even the files we DO do with meaning...they are overlooked. Everything has to be obvious...Everything has to be spoon fed... The people of this world are a bunch of babies. A few years ago, the people of this world were adults. We're going backwards, people. What is before a baby? A Fetus. Fetus is coming to power, people...open your eyes...we're fucking up. (c)June 1990 Bloody Afterbirth/Toxic Shock ____________________________________________________________________________ Toxicity News, Rumors, and Plans in the Realm of the Toxins !#@$#%$^%&^*%&$^#%@$!#@$#%$^%&^*%&$^#%@$!#@$#%$^%&^*%&$^#%@$!#@$#%$^%&^* The biggest and most disturbing news is the sudden onslaught of our government upon the people of this cunt tree... The War On Drugs is wasting our valuable money for a stupid and ridiculous purpose. The feds and the big corporations are trying to remove from existence any and all bastions of free speech and free thought. Those bastions, we call the boards. Nowhere else in this na-shun can people speak so freely or openly about their thoughts and beliefs. Which means those same boards are getting unnecessary attention from an unnecessary audience...Be careful, my friends...Too many people get busted as it is... Rumor has it that we're going to become a much better group. I wouldn't know WHERE such a thing could get started, but. . . Long long ago, groups did meaningful things... And, though I may not think everything should be deeply significant, a large portion of what we do should be done for a reason... Be looking for stuff from us that you just don't see from groups anymore... We won't waste your time. We have begun active recruitment of members, so perhaps those of you with aspirations of joining the best damn group in the world (laughter fills my ears) could call us up... hehheh... Centre of Eternity is your best bet, unless you want ME to 'audition' you, in which case, you should call Lunatic Labs and leave me mail. A goal of at least 100 files by November has been set...We want to bust that number within a year, and we want our files to be good...So it may take a little doing to get quality AND quantity...but we can do anything. If you'd like to help us reach that goal. . . . . As you may notice, Toxic Shock has begun it's Infestation 1990 tour... We were sending SOME files to RipCo, and that was about as much work as we did to get ourselves in your face. We have gotten more active of late... And, amazingly, we do find that some people have heard of us. No telling what kind of audience will develop now. If you have comments/suggestions and think they'll do a damn bit of good, drop one of us a line somewhere... Yet another rumor has it that Bloody Afterbirth isn't satisfied with this issue of the newsletter and plans to make the next one much better. Roger Waters is doing another production of The Wall rreeaall soon, but in case you're wanting to get the black denim jacket (embroidered both sides) that they're selling for it (percentage of proceeds go to a memorial relief fund in honor of war deaths), call 800.451.1120. It costs 79 bucks plus $6.50 for shipping and handling. Get the goddamned thing, you want it. Danzig II - Lucifuge is an awesome experience. Get the tape. ____________________________________________________________________________ For Whom The Bell Tolls -Bloody Afterbirth- We have been looking for some new members for quite some time. However, we are HIGHLY selective. Several people have offered to lend us a hand (mainly as idea-men, and we have plenty of ideas, we need more than two main writers!), and they have all been turned down so far. Perhaps our early files have given the wrong impression. We are not a Sex And Slaughter group, even though S&S is integral to many of our files and almost all of our first ones. ANYone can write a file about sex. ANYone can write a file about slaughter. Not just anyone can do it as good as we can, but regardless, S&S is not what Fetal Juice and I intended this group to be for. A Toxic Shock file should fit into one or more of these categories: 1 - Serious and probably offensive to someone. Ex:Relating to political corruption, the destruction of our planet, drugs, philosophies, etc. A serious issue. 2 - Parodies and satires, again probably offensive to someone. Ex:Rewriting things such as The B-I-B-L-E, obvious works of bullshit such as The Necronomicon (though cDc has monopolized that one. But this IS an example list), things relating to phrack or trashing or carding or terrorism or.. (and especially for slamming those schmucks who know EVERYTHING and nothing about phreaking, or who talk about the LIMITLESS number of people they have killed, etc etc etc), etc. 3 - Something that is completely and totally off the wall, different, out of the norm, etc etc. Ex:If you need an example, you wouldn't know a file like this if I shoved a print-out of it up your ass. 4 - Informative. Ex:If you need an example, you won't be writing files of this type anyway. As you can see, just about anything can be written... Whether we like your work or not is dependent upon two things...What you wrote and how you wrote it. You can write about the sexual habits of purple fungus on Mars, as long as it is presented in a distinctive manner. You can write a straight sex file, as long as it isn't something that just ANYone could have written. You can plagiarize books and magazines, as long as what you copy is relevent. (We could care less about the newest flavor of Slim Fast or the latest dress Mrs. Bush isn't wearing.) You could also write a file chock-full of environmental damage information, but if it puts us to sleep or seems to be written by a total idiot who knows only how to quote statistics, we won't accept it. The best way to see if we want you and your work is the same way to see if you could make it as a 'real' writer...try. I, more-so than the other members of the group, will tell you exactly what I think about your work, good or bad. If I don't like it, I'll tell you why and offer some suggestions if I think there's any hope for you. You should expect the same from the others, though they'll be less blunt about it. I guess that just about wraps this up...There are but a few for whom the bell tolls...are you one of them? (c)June 1990 Bloody Afterbirth/Toxic Shock ____________________________________________________________________________ Electric Death -Bloody Afterbirth- For the same reason we haven't put out that many files recently, we also have not put out a newsletter... Care to hear the story? Well tough shit, read it anyway! We started Toxic Shock in late November 1989, and by Christmas of the same year, we had written over 30 files. Anyone who has ever done that many files so quickly on basically the same subjects knows how burned out one gets from doing such a thing. Burn-Out kills more groups than abortions kill fetuses. About that time, I also moved away for HIGHer education, college, whatever... Obviously Gross Genitalia and myself are the front-men for the group, and we apparently lost interest in the group after being slightly bummed out thanks to school. When the workers quit, the factory stops. I went through phases where I thought Toxic Shock was a waste of my time, then the greatest thing that ever happened to me (heh), and then again a waste. Our file production came to an oozing halt. I am a very picky person, and contrary to what you may think, I have very high standards for what I will release as a Toxic Shock file by myself. Being bummed out, I was writing garbage... Being a perfectionist, the garbage got disposed of... Gross, on the other hand, was more worried about us dying out than I was and began to write files just for the sake of writing...Both of us can admit that the files we were writing weren't all that good compared to earlier attempts... For many months, Gross was the only one writing anything. He cared for the group, but not for what he was writing. I cared for writing, but not a damn bit about the group. A long time passed. However, we did have time for reflection, and it became obvious that the group was not doing what Fetal Juice and I had intended. Anyone can write a sex file, and anyone can write a slaughter file (maybe not as good as we can, but that's another story! heh!). Not that we don't want sex and slaughter in the files, we just don't want the whole file to be nothing but S&S. Sooooo, after a bit of soul searching, the Toxic Front-Men (Gross Genitalia and myself) have apparently found our places for the group. Our quantity may be down a little, but our quality is going up a lot. We want a real GROUP from Toxic Shock. Most groups these days are pansy fucks that waste everyone's time...just like most of our early stuff did. We know where we're heading now, so watch for a New Age in Toxicity... This doesn't mean we're mellowing out, or that we're going to be less radical... This doesn't mean that we're going to start giving a fuck when someone misinterprets what we say or do. This doesn't mean we're going to worry when someone might get 'pissed off' because of what we say. If you don't like it, don't read it. If it bothers you, fuck yourself. Hail Fetus!

Order it TODAY! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Steven Hager, editor of HIGH TIMES and founder of the Freedom Fighters, has been working in counterculture journalism for the past 22 years. Shortly after arriving at HIGH TIMES, he began a crusade for the legalization of hemp, inspired by "The Emperor Wears No Clothes" by Jack Herer. HIGH TIMES:When did you first become aware of marijuana? Steven Hager:When I was 15. Wild hemp could be found growing along any riverbank in the county. I was born May 25th, 1951, in Urbana, Illinois. During WWII, Urbana was the site of one of the largest hemp factories in the country. I guess that qualifies it as the hemp capital of America. We used to harvest wild hemp and smoke it when I was a teenager, but I don't think anyone got high smoking it. I think we just got off on the thrill of doing something illegal. HT:How did you become editor of HIGH TIMES? SH:I got into counterculture journalism in 1968, when I founded a newspaper called the "Tin Whistle", which was published in Champaign, Illinois. The paper was distributed in four high schools and banned in two of them. Shortly after the first LSD laws were passed, I was arrested with a bunch of my friends for possession of LSD. I think we were the first people in the state arrested under the new law. After I graduated high school, I went to Sweden to avoid the draft, got kicked out of Sweden and ended up in college in San Francisco, where I studied theatre, film, and journalism. I have a Masters in Journalism from the University of Illinois. I worked for a lot of magazines and newspapers and wrote two books before being hired by HIGH TIMES. I also wrote a film script called "Beat Street", which was produced by Harry Belafonte. HT:Who are the Freedom Fighters? SH:Patriotic Americans who believe in hemp for food, fuel, and fiber. HT:Who founded the organization? SH:I did. HT:What inspired you? SH:I guess reading Jack Herer's book "The Emperor Wears No Clothes" played a major role. So did the Dutch Provos and the Merry Pranksters. The Dutch Provos were the original and best of the '60s radicals. Although they were only a small group, they had a tremendous impact on Dutch society. The Provos were experts at using humor to beat the eastablishment and they knew how to exploit the media. The idea of a "happening" was invented by the Provos. [See HT, Jan '90] The Merry Pranksters were a little like that, too -- they used humor to threaten the establishment. HT:How many Freedom Fighters are there? SH:More than a thousand. HT:Who runs the organization? SH:Last April, the Freedom Fighters elected their leaders in their first annual convention in Ann Arbor. The state leaders are holding a meeting in June to discuss the future of the organization. My role was to get the group on its feet. I think I accomplished that. Now it's time for them to decide what to do. HT:How do the Freedom Fighters differ from NORML? SH:If I was completely happy with NORML, I probably wouldn't have started another organization. Although NORML has collected lots of money over the years, they haven't accomplished much. For 15 years the cannabis protest movement has been hampered by ego confrontations and turf battles. Jack Herer is the best example. He wrote this amazing book on the history of hemp. And for years HIGH TIMES and NORML ignored him. I didn't discover the book until I'd been at HIGH TIMES for two years! NORML should have been talking about hemp and the environment and pushing Jack's book ten years ago. I'm hoping Don Fiedler (the new national director) can get NORML active and back on its feet. HT:What do the Freedom Fighters do? SH:They dress up in colonial outfits, organize cannabis protest rallies, and inform the public of the environmental benefits of re-legalizing hemp. HT:Who is Ed Hassle? SH:Ed is a cartoon character, a pot smoking madman invented by Flick Ford and myself. We needed a spiritual leader to get the organization started, so we created Mr. Hassle. but we're gonna phase Ed and his Psychedelic Pirates out of the Freedom Fighters. He's not really needed anymore. HT:When do you think cannabis will be legal? SH:The forces keeping pot illegal are among the strongest in the world. They include the oil and petrochemical industries, liquor and tobacco companies, and the pharmaceutical industry. People tend to make fun of the pot movement. Like it's a bunch of hippies who just want to smoke dope. That's what the government would like you to think. The truth is legalizing hemp would restructure our national economy and put more money in the hands of American farmers, while devestating the petrochemical industry -- the major source of world pollution. I don't know when cannabis will be legal. I do know that the Greenhouse Effect won't be reversed until it is. They have billions of dollars and all the thugs and narco cops in the world on their side, but the truth is on our side. One day the truth will prevail. HT:Why are the companies against legal hemp? SH:Because the corporations can't find a way to control the profits. Hemp grows wild in all 50 states. There's no patent on it, and no chemical formula is needed to produce it. Every car in America could be running on non-polluting hempseed oil. And any farmer could sell the oil. HT:What about hemp fiber? SH:No one would buy polyester clothes if they had hemp ones instead. Hemp is the strongest, softest, most durable fiber on the planet. Maybe cotton is a little softer, but half the chemicals used in American agriculture are used on cotton. It's a very bad crop in terms of the environment. Levi's jeans were originally made from hemp. HT:What about the liquor and tobacco industries? SH:Tobacco kills 300,000 people every year. Alcohol kills 150,000. No one ever died from pot. Once the American people become aware of these facts, pot consumption will go up, while hard drug use will go down. HT:Are there any legitimate medical uses for marijuana? SH:There are many doctors who regularly prescribe marijuana to their patients. There's even a free underground hospital distribution system for cancer patients. The overwhelming evidence is that marijuana is one of the best available medicines for glaucoma, epilepsy, muscle spasms, anorexia, and for relief of nausea brought on by chemotherapy. Despite this evidence, the DEA continues to insist the plant has no medical value. HT:Why would legalizing hemp reverse the Greenhouse Effect? SH:We've deforested our nation to make cheap paper out of trees. Trees are basically carbon sinkholes. They eat carbon dioxide and release oxygen. Because we've killed so many trees, our atmosphere has too much carbon dioxide, and that's what's causing the Greenhouse Effect. Cannabis is the fastest growing biomass on the planet, and it grows under all kinds of conditions. If we covered the nation with hemp fields -- and used that hemp for fuel, fiber, and paper -- it would only take a few years to put the atmosphere back in balance. Paper made from hemp lasts 10 times longer than paper made from trees, and can be produced at 1/5th the pollution. HT:Why is it so hard to get the real facts to the people? SH:HIGH TIMES has been bombarding the national media with hemp information for two years and no one wants to publish the truth. It's scary. All knowledge of hemp has been deliberately erased from our national memory. But why should that surprise us? Look at the Kennedy and King assassinations. Congress figured out years ago that the Mafia and the CIA conspired to kill both men, but they're too intimidated to do anything about it. Our country is in a really bad state. I think the worst drug is television. It has turned the nation into a bunch of mindless consumers. HT:How do you feel about other psychedelics, like LSD? SH:Psychedelics are important because they cause people to examine their values. I believe in the heritage of this country and the principles under which it was founded. I don't see any conflict between those principles and psychedelic substances. The government wants to dismantle the Bill of Rights in the name of the drug war. Unless we stand up now, everything our founding fathers stood for will soon evaporate. (c)Copied Right from HIGH TIMES June 1990 Bloody Afterbirth/Toxic Shock ____________________________________________________________________________ The Winged One Written by -Fetal Juice- (F)ucked June 1990 Intro? What the hell is an intro? Lets get the damn thing bleeding.. -Fetal Juice A bolt of blue lighting strikes from a cold, clear, moonless night followed by a clap of thunder snapping the stars out of the sky. Noises like that of lost chants soon start to resonate from the wombs of all women. And those women start to feel the fury of the one true pain for the first and last time of their now worthless lives. At the bottom of a smoking crater lies a large blue crystal sphere in a pool of clotting blood. Sulfurous fumes bubble violently out of the bloody pool, releasing a yellowish fog. An evil red light streaks from the crystal's core to the center of the sky, into the very bowels of what mortals wish heaven to be. Toward this sphere women crawl, for they are in pain, and must crawl or their bodies will be devoured from the inside to the out. Finally the first woman reaches the sphere and the same bolt of lightning arcs from the sky to the woman's belly, forcing her pregnancy and her life to end. From this burnt offering of flesh rises a Fetus. This Killer now has the powers of his father at its finger tips. This Killer will kill. The Fetus walks slowly across the clotting blood, tearing through the pool's surface with his clawed feet to reach the crystal. Setting both hands on the sphere he is absorbed into it, screaming with horrible pain. Pain far worse than the women had felt. Soon more women arrive to meet their fate, and for each a strike of death from the sky. Eleven days later the sphere started to rise in the air. Slowly it rose until all could see it's brilliance in the warmth of daylight. There it exploded. Revealing to all the ultimate horror : The Winged Fetus Lives. With his will he controls the minds and bodies of all. With his will he can force your "God" to kneel and wimper for mercy. With his will the elements converge and do his bidding. He is not one to be fucked with. "We have to kill it!" screams the five star general. "But how sir? What is it?" a major asks. "I don't know. Launch a missile strike on it!" As so was ordered, rockets fill the sky and streak toward The Winged One, but He simply looks at them and they fall from the sky, powerless, killing those who happened to be beneath them. With an extention of his arm a ray of black shoots toward that general, and he is pulled up toward Him. Now in The Winged One's hand he is asked, why do you fear me? To that the general could not respond. The Winged One then says, "It's simple, it is because I WILL kill you!." The sound of his voice blasts holes in the oceans as the water tries to escape its compression.. With a effortless closing of His fist, the general oozes his way back to his army. With a glance of His eyes, and a twitch of His finger millions of Fire Fetuses fill the air, then He says, Let there be Party. And the Fire Fetuses fly down to do as they will. They find women to rape, but the heat of their existence is such that the women blister and wither while the Fire Fetuses have their fun. The Winged One sees this and feels pity on the women, with that He grants the women eternal life, and regenerates them after each Fire Fetus has his way, so that they, the women, may have this blistering pain forever!! "I am bored!" Speaks The Winged One, "Entertain me Humans", with that he speaks with a tone in his voice that gives the entire human race a value less than an atom of His shit. The humans try to entertain Him but fail, and He kills some. This he finds amusing for only a short time... "Hmmm?? What could I do.. What do they value most? Ahh... I know... heh heh heh..." With a grin on His face the Winged One orders the Christian god and son to appear. And they do. The Winged One grins maliciously at his thoughts of what is to come.

A Phile on U.S. Censorship... Written by: Cyberpunk [][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][] Well this phile deals with the topic of censorship in the United States of America. Yes, I said censorship. The government has recently imposed a ban on the Two Live Crew Album "Nasty As They Wanna Be". Now this is the first move in a strategic battle that will one day rob this country's citizens of their rights, and make us mindless puppets of the State. Over the past ten years or so, there has been a massive war against pornography, and other things deemed 'obscene', by the government or other groups. These other things include music with lyrics that are considered tasteless. Now of course the government and these other groups know the thoughts of every American Citizen and are allowed to act on those thoughts. Yeah right! Sure! Give me a damned break. The constitution is suppose to protect our basic rights of freedom. Not so, as it now seems. Now it seems the government is allowed to say what is or what isn't good for the average American Citizen, to hear, read, see, or even say. The 1st Amendment to the constitution states, and I quote, "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press, or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances." But gee, it seems that the laws set down by our ancestors mean nothing now, because you can rule things outside the constitution. As I said earlier, the record, "Nasty As They Wanna Be", was banned from stores nationwide. Now this was a black rap group on an independent label. They have neither the resources nor the time to fight a lengthy court battle. This is a direct violation of their 1st amendment rights. If it seems that I am defending them, I sure as hell am. It matters not if they are black or white. Or if their music is Rap or any other type. What matters is that their record was banned, and that is a direct violation of the constitution. See if we let the government ban their records, soon they will go for Heavy Metal, then Rock, then all other types of music. And we will only listen to what the government wants. Then they will start with books. Then where will we be? The damned Government will then control every aspect of our lives. The government just recently started making record companies put labels on the records stating what types of lyrics were in them. And if they were obscence to post it outside the record. This is a mild form of Censorship, but none-the-less it is censorship. Also records that were considered obscene were not suppose to be sold to kids under 18. Who the fuck decides if they are obscene?!? The fucking government, that's who! The average schmoo has no say in it. Our constitution is supposed to protect us, but it seems that it is failing. What are we to do? If the record IS obscence, so what? The 1st amendment protects it, but then again the government has control to rule it outside the constitution. It comes down to what the government thinks the people should listen to. The country is slowly degenerating into chaos. The people will not stand for this much longer. Of course then again, they might not even know that their rights are being taken away. That is how lazy we Americans are. We wouldn't even know. It all comes down to this: The government should not be allowed to control us like they are. If we let them, we will become puppets to them, and we will not have minds of our own. Who knows we might end up with another Civil War on our hands. And that would be truly devestating.

[There's a drought down here.] (c)July 1990 Gross Genitalia/Toxic Shock ____________________________________________________________________________ /\/\eet The Toxins - "Verbosity From Hell" This time you are unfortunate enough to get to Meet the one who kicked off the group with a parody of that famous Holy-shit!-Book...The Bible... His accomplishments are too few to mention, his reputation virtually non existent among those who matter, his thoughts and attitudes shared by almost none, the guy who designed the traditional logo, the one who has plans for bumper stickers and tee shirts, the one and the only Bloody Afterbirth...interviewer interviewee extraordinaire. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ So, let's start off with some physical shit, BA..What do you look like? I'm 5' 11", 235 pounds...Got a large frame and quite a bit of muscle... also got 35 pounds of pure raw FAT loading me down right now...Got somewhat lengthy dark brown hair, eyes that change color (grey/blue/yellow/green) depending upon my mood. Sept 11 '71 was the day the end of the world began, and to celebrate my 19th birthday I'm going to get more fucked up than this country is. Alright! So, how and why did you come up with Bloody Afterbirth? Well..Fetal Juice came up with the name for the group..and since it was disgusting and off the wall, I thought of the most disgusting and off the wall handle I could possibly use...and you see me with it. When did you first start working with computers and telecom? When I was 9 I got a Commodore Vic-20 because I was curious and it was cheap. I still remember calling Compuserve with a 300 baud modem and a 22 column screen... That was back in 1980. I didn't actually hack anything until 1984 because I was a fuckhead. I didn't even know what Phreaking was until that same year because I was a fuckhead. The regular little school and computer nerd was what my fat little ass was. I didn't do anything illegal at all. Breaking any rule was like a fucking sin or something... But just before 9th grade started, I began looking at where I was heading and what kind of shit society was becoming, and the rebellion started... Got my first unintentional Fs that year because this teacher thought she was right and I knew I was right... About that time Cronus began explaining some things to me about the real modem society. What do you think of TODAY'S society? It's fucked. Care to elaborate? Not really. Anybody with any intelligence can see what's happened to this country. Every level of society is royally fucked. The people who were floating across the nation in the early- to mid-80s were the kind of people that belong on computers. Thank the Commodore 64, games, desktop environments, mice, and movies like Wargames for fucking up the important Society. Well, enough about this shit. What are your hobbies? Reading, writing, programming, pissing people off... Not very social, are you? I can be, but why hang around a bunch of mindless fucks? I prefer small groups of people I can trust... You mentioned programming. What can you tell me about programming? I can tell you that you sound just like Eliza. Assembly Language is the only language for me. I have worked with several BASICs, and the only one I liked was the Commie 64 basic. It's non-existent graphics commands were kinda hard to use, but the basic was very in-your-face. I've worked with a few high level langs, mainly for college, but the only one I will consider using on my own would be C...And that is not something I want to do, either, but everything out there for the Amiga is C, and I'm hurting myself by not learning it. Why do you like assembly language so much? The power...simply the power. You tell it EXACTLY what you want it to do. There's none of this "PRINT `FUCK SATAN!'" shit that any little loser can do. You HAVE to know your system, you HAVE to love your machine. It is the meanest language there is. You fuck up just a little bit and the whole thing goes bonkers. I have lost much hair thanks to assembly. I love it. I think there is something else you want to say about it. You are holding something inside, Bloody, I can tell. You can tell us. I obviously don't like desktop environments, a mouse, game players, or anything else that normally signifies a non-serious user. (There are people I respect who use shittop environments and mice, but they are a minority) It boils down to the seriousness. I don't think a non-serious user needs a machine. They can play a Nintendo if they want to spend their time with fucking games. And anybody can program a high level lang (well, MOST HLLs). Where is the challenge in speaking English? Assembly language and non-desk top environments and having-to-use-the-keyboard-by-TYPING scare away the lazy fucks who don't want to get serious about their machines. I'm not much into computer hobbyists. Either you use it, or lose it. Nobody USES their machines anymore.. Anybody can play a game. But how many people can write a good BBS? In assembly language? Zzzzzz...huh? Oh, yeah. Ok. What systems have you owned and why? The Vic-20 I explained. I got the Commie 64 when it came out, but I did look around at all the other systems. It was the best machine for me at the time. It's capabilities were exactly what I needed. I still think it is the best 8 bit around. Then I got the Commie 128 because I thought it was a keen thing to do at the time. Everybody makes mistakes. The only thing I used the 128 for was the built in monitor, which sucked. I've got an Amiga 2000 right now...It sure as hell wasn't because of price or because of any loyalty to the manufacturer. Up until the latest management got put in, the worst thing about Commodore Amiga was Commodore. I am working on a way to get a 3000, legally, now. The Amiga has the most potential of any system out there right now. It may have been caught by the other companies, but it can take the personal computer market and a sizable portion of the professional markets if Commiedork would develop it...and I think they will. You wouldn't like motorcycles, would you? Why gosh, how'd you know? They're the best things on the road..they're the "kickin'est, happenin'est, thaxedtothemaxed'est" thing on wheels. I like the traditional style (Harley's best, of course) over the funky Japanese/European racing styles, but hey, I melt when I look at a Ninja... What are your political views? Governments suck. There is no government like no government... Actually, I think a VERY limited central government would be ok. I really wish that the country that "spreads the cause of democracy" was a true democracy itself. America sucks, quite simply put. Why? It is a corporate and political monster, just like the rest of them. This country spawns greed and laziness, lies and corruption, oppression. The Big Brothers need their asses kicked. What is your least favorite Big Brother? Probably the Telco systems, as far as treatment of people is concerned. Geez, the fucking service they provide could be almost FREE if they weren't so damned concerned about money. Things like Starlink provide $1.50/hr service. You expect me to believe that THEY can do that and make a profit, but the Telco can't? Give me a break. If they cut the costs, the usage would go up. A lot of little money usually comes out to be more than a little big money. Everybody can afford $1.50 to make an hour's call... It's like gas money or something..pocket change. Everybody could use the phone... Not that I think we should have to pay for it at all, but people do need to eat. (I'd love a moneyless society, but this is Amerika!) Reasonable prices would rid the world of the major need for phreaking. They should consider that instead of trying to wipe Phreakers out. Most of them, I'm sorry to say, do it just to beat the costs, not to learn new loopholes and shit. What do you think about the Drug War? We should fight back. We? I'm not into heavy drugs...but that's me, not someone else. Legalize all of them and quit trying to run people's lives. Make people take a course and a test on the effects of the drug, the REAL effects, before they buy it. Tell people exactly what cocaine will do to them before they snort it, and it will scare away a lot of people. Take away the illegalities and it won't be used because it's "cool" anymore. Heavy drug use would go down, and safe things like marijuana would be used more and more. Hell, legalize all the drugs, and the government could check the purity. More jobs. They would man the education-before-trying 'centers'. More jobs. They could set up rehab centers for anyone who got in over their head. More jobs. They could tax the drugs instead of spending money on wiping them out. More revenue. People would do drugs for the experience and not because of that peer pressure shit that conformists fall prey to. More mature citizens. Lower the age limits on the shit. Quicker maturity and more responsibility developing in the people. I won't go on. You should be president. Why, so I can get paid to lie? The president's a figurehead. I'd rather be head of the CIA. That's where the power is. Or a bank president. Then you exercise control of everything... The Computer Underground, or what USED to be the CU, could, if united, take control of this country. There is too much reliability on very insecure computers. If a few bytes at the bank get nulled, you just lost several thousand dollars. I can see Sprint going bankrupt because of something like that. That would amuse me. So, what are your musical tastes? Pffffft...I love Classical music, because it is, all around, better than anything for setting a mood, like for writing. I like ROCK. Not the shit they play today and CALL rock. I mean the 60s and 70s...like Bob Seger... Ozzy Sabbath...Jimi Hendrix... I am quite fond of heavy/death metal, especially when either the music has a very nice rhythm, or the lyrics are about something besides getting laid on a saturday night. Fuck the posers. I like folk music, especially Irish and Scottish. I like punk/thrash/speed metal, but I don't listen to it much.. Most of it sounds just alike, but every once in awhile you hear something good. I like some of the new wave, post modern, whatever the fuck, stuff, like Voivod. They are a good group. What other modern groups do you like? Danzig, Slayer, Medadeth, Metallica, Ozzy, Roger Waters (Floyd sucks without him), King Diamond... What type of books do you read? Mainly fantasy, but science fiction has caught my eye... I also like the science-fiction/fantasy mixing that a lot of people have been doing. Have any favorite authors, in any genre? Piers Anthony, Roger Zelazny, Harlan Ellison, Robert Jordan, L. Ron Hubbard, J.R.R. Tolkien (no shit), Isaac Asimov, Robert Asprin, Douglas Adams, Anne McCaffrey, Marion Zimmer Bradley, Dick Sutphen, Richard Bach, Andrew J. Offut...I can go on if you like. No, that's alright. Who are your idols? I have none. I have respect for a few people, DEEP respect for a very few people, but I idolize noone. Someone may be better than I at something, but I can match them if I truly want to. I think anybody can do anything, so that's not really as egotistical as it sounds. If there is anyone in the Society that I would come close to idolizing, it would be one of the people that make it into a Phrack profile. The main one that comes to mind is The Mentor, but that's mainly for writing The Hacker's Manifesto. That was the best thing I have ever read. It brought a tear to my eye. You mentioned Dick Sutphen and Richard Bach, two well known metaphysical types. Are you interested in that sort of thing, and if so, why? Yes. I've had an interest in the occult ever since I saw a deck of Tarot cards...which also was about the time I got my Vic-20. As far as why... I am open minded, and I have experienced enough to know that the "paranormal" truly exists. Besides, for religious reasons, I almost have to be interested in such things. What does that mean? I'm Wiccan (a Witch)... What they call metaphysical or occult is pretty much standard and general knowledge with Wicca. It'd be kind of like a Ceremonial Magician who isn't interested in magick if I wasn't interested in the 'metaphysical'. Why are you in Toxic Shock? Something to do at the time. That's not true, is it? Ok...I want to be a writer, and I use the group to hone some of my abilities. I concentrate on something in a file (and it may not be obvious to outsiders that I'm doing this, heh heh) for practice. What I write for the group and what I would write professionally are a little different... I also think we could have a good following if we'd get off our asses and get in people's faces. I want a group that can herald a returning Golden Age in groups. I want a group like a group USED to be. Toxic Shock is the only such group in existence that I know of that has the potential for doing just that, other than something else I'm working with on the side. Oh, so you don't consider cDc to be a real group? Whoa there asshole, I didn't say that... I like the group. I admit, I like the MEMBERS of the group that I've talked to a lot more than I like the majority of the files they've put out recently...but I do like them. I know people who haven't touched a computer in 3 years who never ever called off of a local shit board called "Okie Bug" who have heard of the Cult. That is what is known as a reputation. But, as a group, how do you REALLY feel about them? Their tastes and mine as to what a group should be are probably different. You are avoiding the issue. You should know. I respect a lot of what they do from the perspective of a writer. Some of their stories are most excellent. I like the majority of their attitudes. But from the perspective of what I think a group should do, no, I don't particularly care for them any more. Don't you think that you are really fucking up by saying that? I also do not particularly care for what Toxic Shock was doing and probably will continue to do, though in lesser form. As far as writing goes, I love the cDc. I even actually like much of what we wrote...as far as writing goes. But we were really not doing what I think a group should do. I say that about the group I belong to, so I think I have every right to say it about another group, too. As I said...our tastes are different. The Cult does what it does. It is an entirely different group that exists for entirely different reasons. Aren't you afraid that this profile of you has gotten to be excessively lengthy? If anyone is still reading it, then they like what they're reading. So, Bloody Afterbirth, what other handles have you used? As I said earlier, I was a fuckhead. Fuckheads go through handles. I have gone through more handles than anyone I know. I quit changing handles so much about 4 years ago. Two handles still stick with me, but what they are and what my prior ones were is not important. Bloody Afterbirth is the one I am pushing publicly. That suits me fine. What do you think of Kate Bush? Oh, that screeching bitch with a voice only a rusty iron gate swinging in the wind could love? Heh heh heh. Where do you think Toxic Shock is headed? If I have my way, it is going to be one of the best groups in the country. If I don't have my way, I will move on to another group. You don't sound like you have much group loyalty. I will work with any group if I like their attitude. I'm a free agent. Is that an open invitation for the groups of the world? Not really. I know of only two currently active groups that I would consider working with. But then, my knowledge of who is out there isn't what it used to be. That situation is being corrected. Who are those groups? None of my business. Well Bloody...I think this just about wraps this up. I can't think of anything else to ask you that noone will want to hear. Are you sure you want to release this profile of yourself? Those who see the answer to that question are either severely masochistic, or enjoyed hearing me talk to myself. Hope it enlightened you.
