Late last night the body of Patrik Keim
was found in a ravine. He had been
badly beaten and stabbed several times
in the abdomen. A typed note pinned to
the opened fly of his trousers read:
"The underworld has no bounds. The Day
of Last Judgement will release the
Dead. Repentance is at hand. Amen.
Now Mg. control your words." It seems
that illegal intimidation, illegal
confiscation, and illegal harassment
(witnessed by many, yet denied by
public officials) was not enough. It's
strange how a simple gimmick like the
use of a swastika on one of $hackler's
past band announcements could cause
such a clamor then, and even lead to
several calls of "boycott", while the
real Nazi-like methods recently carried
out by government .employees have been
left to run rampant. Those iron-fist
tactics have triumphed unfortunately
(Flagpole has been beaten and stabbed
to death too).
The truly obscene, lacking any humor
what so ever, infiltrates into
everyone * s life now, no "zone" is left
uncensored. Psychological control of
expression is underway. Next time,
before anything is said or written,
you'll think to yourself: "Will I be
victimized with harassment, threatened
publicly with criminal charges, or even
bludgeoned and gutted like a hog at the
slaughter house." Yes, dear innocent
one, you too may eventually cross that
ambiguous line of expressive freedom.
And guess what, as long as you're the
only one to disappear, it seems most
people won't be concerned (at least not
until the public officials knock on
each and every front door, including
theirs, in the middle of the night).
Afterall, it's summer in Athens and
there's nothing better to do — why not
a little Absurd entertainment round
up?" Why not?!
