More letters:

And here’s another from Shannon:

Dear Rob.
At last I respond...
#5 was the best issue of Bastard yet. I especially liked your lengthy letters section.
The letter from Tim Croft was strange to me, in that he thought communism and the elimination of race were somehow bad.
Well, the 2 things I feel the most strongly about are communism and race mixing. I am all in favor of eliminating racism by eliminating race. That does not mean throwing "inferiors" into ovens. It means race mixing.
Wouldn't it be great it all the black people and all the white people got together and had a whole generation of zebra kids? Then those zebras would got together with the Asians and further eliminate race. In a few generations there would be no racial distinction at all (then we would have to invent new reasons to hate each other).
Tim refers to communists as "faceless cogs in the world gulag." It sounds to me like he is having paranoid delusions. Apparently he sees communism strictly as a political structure and not a cultural one.
He also makes the mistake of assuming "black" and '.white" are races. They are not. They are colors.
There are dozens of different races of white person. I am a blue eyed blonde Celt. I am different from a blue eyed blonde Germanic, Nordic, Persian, or whatever.
There are also dozens of different races of Black person. You are an idiot If you think the 7 foot tall super skinny people who live in deserts are the same race as the 4 foot tall pot-bellied characters who live in jungles. They both have wooly hair, big lips, and black skin; So what! They are totally different races.
I am not in favor of eliminating all racial differences just for the sake of it. But in the US, most people are already so mixed they have no idea what race their original ancestors
were. That is why they assume they are of white or black "race." It is asinine. It is also true that, generally speaking, black people are more prone to high blood-pressure and sickle-cell anemia than whites. Meanwhile, 70% of schizophrenics are blue eyed blondes, and white people are more prone to alcoholism etc. Theoretically, if the "races" mixed, we could potentially cancel out each other's weaknesses.
You do not create a "master race" by allowing morons to inbreed; you do so by continually "adding chlorine to the gene pool." Any rancher knows this; you have to cross-breed your animals every few generations or you start to get freaks.
I agree with Tim's remark about hate-crimes always being (technically) "whitey's" fault. Washington, DC is the murder capitol of the world. Because it has a black majority, most of these murders are black-on-black crime. The reason for this is the fact most blacks (in the US) are white supremacists; ie they hate themselves for being black. They have no choice but to believe this, due to the cultural ingraining of the opinion white is best, black children are culturally conditioned to hate themselves for being black, while white children are taught to be totally oblivious.
I disagree with Tim's reasoning that the integrity of our nation is decaying due to the integration of unassimilable races. The US is decaying due to the fact we are being brainwashed to believe the above.
Every person in this country is labeled "unassimilable races" by every other race. That is the problem with the USA; we have too much diversity, which causes every person to feel alienated at least some of the time.
If we were all communists we would be more willing or able to refer to each other as "comrades" rather than aliens."
Tim said people who are denied their own "racial nations" are somehow victims of tyranny and enslavement.
He is apparently an anarchist, concerned with no one but himself. He fails to see "the big picture;" ie, it the people of the US were allowed to further fracture, separate and segregate, it would eventually lead to civil war. Integration is the only hope for us.
Tim says race mixing is against science and nature, because it causes the extinction of a race. Excuse me Tim, but races can not become extinct (they assimilate), only a species can become extinct. This gives the impression he thinks non-whites are a different species than human.
I strongly support race mixing, for both the sake of the human gene pool and the sake of our country.
Tim can go Seig Heil himself.
About your letter In response to Tim's...
The idea of cultural Integrity in the US is absurd. The US has no culture. Americans are mindless sheep who stumble around, blindly following whatever "majority" presents itself. None of that "majority' have any culture either. The only "culture" there Is, Is the mindless amoeba-like slopping around of morons following a faceless crowd of mindless clones, It that Is all there Is to American culture. I am all in favor of its demise.
I got a good laugh out of Wanker Of The Year. Gawd, what an idiot.
When he said, by you printing a letter in response to your zine, that somehow meant "You are friends with a white supremacist, you give him voice; therefore you support racist oppression; therefore you are actively racist and oppressing all people of color." I gasped. My God what a nut case! This idiot is the reason people come up with the stereotype of the "typical wacked-out faggot with paranoid delusions." What a raving lunatic.
When you referred to someone as "anal-retentive" by calling them an "anal wanker," Mr nut-case said you were responsible for all queer teens who commit suicide. I laughed out loud at that one,
Like most homosexuals, this loser so desperately wants to be victimized in order to justify his self-pity obsession, but he does not have any problems, so he claims identity with any and all people who have ever been discriminated against, so he can make a public display of wailing and moaning about how he must be a victim, too; going so far as to say he personally is offended by the mere mention of cunnilingus. If he were not a mentally ill pervert obsessed with his own anus, maybe he could grasp the concept that cunnilingus is about the woman's orgasm, not the man's. Duh.
Furthering my astonishment, Andy goes on the say that since "someone" suggested the police should crack down on hard drugs and not soft ones, that somehow means you personally are supportive of the police Gestapo oppressing people of the ghetto.
He does have a mental illness. It causes him to see everything as relative to everything else. If you mention ANYTHING to do with racism, his bizarre delusions tell him that means you personally support EVERYTHING that is PRO-racist.
He is a total raving lunatic. Clinically insane. Probably psychotic, too.
I thought It was hilarious when he said The Wanker Twins "encourage rape as fun and justifiable." I can not stop laughing. Andy is the exact person who would set his house on fire because Beavis and Butthead told him to. He falls to recognize The Wanker Twins are called The WANKER Twins. We are SUPPOSED to be disgusted by them, Andy. Geez.
The utter hypocrisy of referring to himself as "the PC crowd" is not even worth laughing at.
I continue to be impressed by the intelligence of your letters in response to idiots.
Earlier issues of Bastard gave me to impression you were just a jerk trying to offend people. But now I recognize your sense of humor and intelligence.
Bastard will never be on my favorite zines of the year list, because I just do not identify with the majority of it (Sexcapades, for example pretty much makes me want to puke). I am not a heterosexual. But I am also not a mentally ill pervert like Andy the faggot.
The Wake of the Devastation continues to fascinate. But I have yet to figure out why you mix something so intelligent with the rest of your stupid zine (though I did think seeing a bull's horn being rammed up a bull-fighter's ass was truly amusing). I would like to see the entire Wake story with all the analysis all in one publication.
-SHANNON COLEBANK

Damn, that’s a long assed letter, there, Shannon!
Tim’s pretty much given up racial nationalism, but for his current views, check the letter from him below.
As for race-mixing to the point that “race” disappears - doubt that’ll ever happen. The only possible way would be to institute a worldwide breeding program reminiscent of Nazi Germany. And if such a program suceeded? Damn, that’d be pretty boring! No more alabaster-skinned goth girls, no more Asian beauties, no more African queens, no more East Indian hotties, etc. The whole element of fantasy would be thrown right out the door!
I wouldn’t say the US is the only place where people are unsure of their original ancestors’ race. Take Britain and Italy, for example. Just because an Englishman has blonde hair and blue eyes does not necessarily mean he’s a purebred Celt. Britain has been populated by Picts, Celts, Romans, Saxons, Angles, Jutes, Scandinavians, Normans, and many more. An Italian may have Roman, Greek, Germanic, Hun, Near Eastern, or North African blood! Things get even more complicated when you bring early man into the picture & theorize on the possibility of Neanderthals breeding with Cro-Magnons or homo sapiens breeding with homo erectus.
Never heard of most schizos being ble-eyed blondes, or that whites are more prone to alcoholism (I figured, if anyone, it’d be American Indians - assuming alcoholism is a disease, of course, which I don’t believe it to be).
You’re right about “adding chlorine to the gene pool” (I don’t know if I’d have put it like that, though). Selective breeding can often backfire. That’s why mutts are generally healthier than purebred dogs.
Interesting point you make on black self-loathing. I think its rather curious when some white people complain about minorities having “extra rights.” While that’s true in some cases (ie, when some minorities will achieve job security via threat of a discrimination lawsuit), and almost certainly looks to be true “on paper,” it holds very little water in practical application. I don’t feel like I’ve ever been passed over for a job because I’m white. Next time someone complains about “black privilege,” ask them if they’d rather be black, if they really believe that to be true. Most (including myself) wouldn’t, but I betcha there’s a shitload more black people who’d rather be white.
I doubt views on race would be the reason the US is decaying, if it is decaying at all. In my eyes, apathy would be the most likely culprit, followed closely by corruption and uptight control freaks who want to tell everyone how to live their lives.
Communism sounds good on paper, and may work for small, tribal units, but unfortunately would not work for larger groups. If the wealth of the state is to be shared equally, why should I bust my ass when my co-worker does the bare minimum amount of work? Lack of incentive seems to be one of the biggest downfalls of communism. Of course, I’ve never lived in a communist country (and I doubt you have, either), but a society where the welfare of the state grossly overshadows that of the individual does not sound appealing to me whatsoever. Of course, capitalism has its problems, too, but at least there’s more than one party to vote for! I am printing your piece on communism, though, because I’d like to see others’ response to it.
I totally disagree with your statement that America has no culture. Of course, your definition of culture may be completely different from mine. Culture to me can mean as little as an accent or the type of food commonly served. Granted, most Americans are mindless sheep, but sheep can have culture, too.
As for your comments on “Wanker of the Year”: nothing there I really disagree with, so I’ll let them stand.
Thanks for your comments on my intelligence. You seem pretty bright too - for a commie! :)
Of course, I do get a thrill out of offending people - but those are usually just the uptight fuckwads like Andy, who deserve to be offended anyway.
Your piece on communism is printed below - I don’t really have a “columns” section, so I just thought I’d slip it into the letters page.




I AM A COMMUNIST
by Shannon Colebank
To me, communism means "Everyone should do what is best for the people, whether they like it or not." The problem with that is it is usually the government who decides what is "best," and then forces the people to submit.
That is why I believe In (and practice) Collective Communism.
Each group should remain small enough that collective decisions can be made; a dozen or so people at the most (King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table/ Jesus Christ and the 12 disciples/ a witches coven of 13, etc). A large enough group to actually have the people-power to accomplish things, but still small enough so each person is individually important.
"What is best" for that individual group is collectively decided upon by the group; then they all work together to make it happen.
If someone does not like the direction of that particular group, they are free to join the one next door or start their own.
This is what I want the world to be like.
Unfortunately. the average person is an anarchist. Anarchy is "Me-I-me-I-me-I-fuck-you!" Though these people do at least try to be responsible for themselves, they are the ones who experience road-rage because they have their heads so far up their asses they are incapable of acknowledging the other person's right to drive on the same road.
Then we have democracy. Democracy is a gang-raping lynch-mob of witch-burners; each one a sniveling weakling who desperately wants to be a bully, but does not even have the spine to do that, because that would take personal responsibility (something anarchists at least attempt to do). So they rally a group of other irresponsible bully-wanna-bes to join them in their lynch-mob mentality of forcing their will on the minority through gang-rape tactics. The "minority" is simply whatever "witch" happens to symbolize the lynch mob's weaknesses. Then when the minority gets oppressed, the democratic can simply shrug and say "it is not my fault, the crowd did it."
Democracy is the ultimate evil.
Then there is Pacifism. A pacifist is a jellyfish laying in its own vomit, whining "I don't care."
If someone decides to be a hopeless drug addict, the pacifist thinks it is not "politically correct" to criticize that person's "life choice." They think everyone should be allowed to dig their own grave in whatever way their pathetic delusions direct them.
Then there is fascism. The fascist is sort of a cross between the sniveling weaklings of democracy and the belligerent selfishness of anarchy all wrapped up in a desperately insecure control freak (whew).
Collective communism is the only hope.

Greetings Bastard:
Your zine is pretty cool. I haven’t read it yet, but it looks nice. Tell Thaniel thanks for such a nice review [Bastard #5 - Ed], but I wasn’t listening to the Dead Kennedys when I wrote those songs. I was living in my van & shoplifting for food money. I’m not trying to sound cool, just explaining my inspiration. I saw the word “chick” a lot on the first page. I’m not very fond of calling girls “some chick” [Here we go again... -Ed], but I’d still like to send a picture for the cover. My friend Sam. Do you take guys? Naked guys (no cock, just ass)?
CHRIS CLAVIN
BLOOMINGTON, IN

Thanks, Chris, but I can’t take all the credit for my zine looking so nice. Bastard wouldn’t look half as good if it weren’t for the girls willing to become Bastard Babes! I do hope you finally took the time to read the zine.
I’ll be sure to pass on your comments about the review to Thaniel. I hope you had a good reason to shoplift, other than “I don’t wanna get a job because it’ll interfere with my musical aspirations” or some other bullshit. Shoplifting is kind’ve like Motley Crue: cool when you’re 14, but rather embarrassing once you’re old enough to drive. There’s a reason shoplifters are never featured on America’s Most Wanted. I hope you at least had the decency to shoplift only from businesses that deserved it.
If you don’t like the word chick, you’ll just have to get over it. I never intended for this zine to be politically correct, & I sure as hell ain’t gonna start now. As for putting a guy’s arse in my zine, I’m not too thrilled about it, but if enough of you girls out there request it, I suppose Bastard could include the occasional bit of man-flesh. Hell, even Hustler used to include a “One for the Ladies” pic in Beaverhunt!


More letters coming.

I wanted to post more crap today, but Blogger has fucked with some shit so I can no longer do long posts, it seems. Fuckers.

Burn in Hell


Yet another 2 weeks passes by. Needless to say, I've been pretty busy--they made me a supervisor at work, so I'm working more hours. Due to the fact that I have little to say right now, here's some letters (with my planned responses) that were to be published in Bastard #6--the zine is on indefinite hiatus, so you'll have to settle for the blog! Keep in mind that these letters were received about 4 years ago, so may be quite a bit out of date.


Heya Bastard!
Here’s a copy of Chiva Fiesta. Hope you enjoy some aspect of it. Sorry it took so long to get this to you, but I was locked up in the state looney bin doing crazy time in a fucking straight jacket. Thanks for sending me a copy of Bastard, I really thought it was great!
JIMMY SANDS

Thanks, Jimmy! Chiva Fiesta was definitely one of the most fucked-up zines I’ve read - heroin, butt-fucking, & incest. Anyone interested in these topics should send $3 & an age statement to the address above.

Dear Rob,
Thank you for sending your Bastard zines. I especially liked Wake of the Devastation. Amusing & very well written. I was amazed by your extensive commentary of Bible research after chapter five. It is important for people to know these things, especially now that the majority of Christians are such head-in-the-sand-ers... “Do not bother me with the facts. My mind is made up!” Duh.
The Wanker Twins were amusing (in small doses).
The Drunk Stories just reminded me of how most people are sacks of shit. I did not really need to be reminded.
Do more of Wake of the Devastation, research notes, & commentary. Less of the “life is shit” stuff.

Hey Shannon! Thanks for your comments. You’re one of the few people who doesn’t like the “life is shit” stuff, as you call it. I really don’t plan on changing the balance of content, as I feel it’s important to laugh your arse off occasionally. If all I had in my zine was scholarly type crap, it wouldn’t be near as fun!
Anyone interested in Shannon’s zine (or his distro guide), which is a bit more liberal than my tastes generally run (but still interesting) should send $3 to him, right now!



Well, that's it for now. More outdated letters next time!
