Madness

-

Hatemonger hill.  A Virginia house owned by the widow of Admiral Willis Kern.  That's George Lincoln Rockwell in the foreground.


Rockwell was a talented artist, a seemingly very intelligent man and a Corsair pilot.  He was a commissioned officer, trusted and relied upon.  6 months away from getting a pension, he was kicked out of the navy because of his racist talk.  He needed that money.
 

This was produced by the American Nazi Party newsletter, a Lincoln Rockwell creation.  The word vile is often overused, but not in this case. 


It is hard to believe how he thought, and even harder to believe the things he said in public and in his writings..


This man served in World War Two and Korea.  He was handsome, talented, intelligent and very, very angry.  His parents were successful vaudevillians and he grew up knowing Fred Allen and Jack Benny, Fanny Brice and Groucho Marx, to name a few.
The man standing next to him is John Patler, née Patsalos, the party cartoonist and Rockwell's killer.
 
 
Note the name 'Lew Cor'. 


His bid for Governor of Virginia. 


This really happened.  His men go on a tour, only to be arrested in New Orleans, a town that knows how to deal with troublemakers.


Richard Avedon.


I was stationed not very far from here.  Oh my, this is undignified.  Dead in front of a laundromat, age 49.
(August 25, 1967.  Dominion Hills Shopping Center).


How could such an intelligent man act this way?  Let me recommend the book "Hate", by William Schmaltz.  I have corresponded with him and this is my vote for best bio of all time.   Immensely readable, superbly illustrated with photos well selected and placed.  I am not sure what, if anything, can be learned from this but it is fascinating, a look into a pathology for which there is no explanation.


Below,  J.R. "Bob" Dobbs.  Also the charismatic leader of a fringe cult.  Hmmmmm....

 
But sub-genius does not mean sub-par.


 Portrayed by Marlon Brando, who he had attacked for his liberalism, in the show "Roots".  


A quiet chat.


This awesome  poster, by a different Rockwell, shows the right enshrined in law to be as nasty as you want to be, in public, out loud.


The only racist public person other than Rockwell of any accomplishment as a man was Dr. William Pierce, and they knew each other.  
I guess that today's moral is that intelligence and character have little to do with one another. 
Hate knows no limits.


Rockwell's estate was valued at 257 dollars when he was killed.

Two Angel Forms Were Seen To Glide

’Twas on a lofty vase’s side, Where China’s gayest art had dyed The azure flowers that blow; Demurest of the tabby kind, The pensive Selima, reclined, Gazed on the lake below. Her conscious tail her joy declared; The fair round face, the snowy beard, The velvet of her paws, Her coat, that with the tortoise vies, Her ears of jet, and emerald eyes, She saw; and purred applause. Still had she gazed; but ’midst the tide Two angel forms were seen to glide, The genii of the stream; Their scaly armour’s Tyrian hue Through richest purple to the view Betrayed a golden gleam. The hapless nymph with wonder saw; A whisker first and then a claw, With many an ardent wish, She stretched in vain to reach the prize. What female heart can gold despise? What cat’s averse to fish? Presumptuous maid! with looks intent Again she stretch’d, again she bent, Nor knew the gulf between. (Malignant Fate sat by, and smiled) The slippery verge her feet beguiled, She tumbled headlong in.

''The plight of Davis Paul'' ''Dam you to Hades Billy! why are you setting fire to my Wardrobe with your Cigarette!!?''...you would hear on occasion some kind of verbal anger often from Davis - shouting out in abstract Frustration, 'just because Billy Thought Davis Pauls Clothes were lame'' oh yeah, Billy D was the Dude.........Davis put up with so much crap and nonsense from the rebellious Layabout - come would be antisocial super hero, ''the enabler''...Davis Paul was literally at the end of his tether..all those worrisome late nights... Davis would often shout at Billy, during one of Billy's Trash rampages, ''Aunt may never has this problem ever with peter parker !'' and then the rest of the time, Davis Paul wondering where Billy was? and what was Billy D up too? then after hours and hour of worrying,  Billy would just rock up - staggering through the Front door, Gladiator outfit on, covered

Two Sides Of The Same Coin

 It was a lovely day in November.  At least Tom thought it was November, the air was crisp and cool and it felt Novemberish.  There were no calenders here, while he had a clock he rarely looked at it.  He never had to be anywhere at any particular time in any event, when he had to be somewhere he always showed up on time, if that's the word for it.  Anyway, it was a nice Fall day. Tom stood on his porch that surrounded the small field stone house, he could see and smell the smoke from his neighbor's fires, someone was cooking fish and the big cat was salivating.  Since he had had his coffee he wasn't hungry, but the fish really smelled enticing.  Odd, he thought, I haven't had meat since I got here.  When did I get here?  he thought to himself, I don't remember.  Maybe someplace in town sold meat, although he had never seen such a shop.  It didn't matter, what with the bread and potatoes and butter and honey he was never hungry.  Tom lit a cigarette
