Propaganda from Chicago

My bandmate found this flyer on the L today, I thought I would share (this is verbatum):

ELOHIM'S NEWSLETTER TO AMERICA

THE GOD OF HEAVEN AND EARTH THE ONE THIS WORLD KNOWS NOTHING ABOUT THE ONE DESCRIBED IN DANIEL 7 CHAPTER, 9 VERSE WITH THE WOOLEY HAIR, AND EYES LIKE FLAMING FIRE WITH FEET LIKE POLISH BRASS, THE ONE THIS WORLD HATES ROMANS 1:30 WILL SOON LET THE GOD OF THIS WORLD'S SYSTEM, GOVERNMENTS, RELIGIONS, WHO IS SATAN, THE DEVIL, REVELATION 12 CHAPTER 7-12 VERSE, PULL AMERICA DOWN, DOWN, DOWN, UNTIL THE YEAR WORLD WAR III STARTS!!!

THE MESSENGER
Click to expand...

Now, this is hilarious for several reasons... my favorite is "polish brass". Brass from Poland is this god's feet? Fucking sweet.

Not only that, it's signed "The Messenger". I didn't know our own Messenger was circulating a newsletter in my fair city! Priceless.
 
Oh, and for those who don't know, the "L" is Chicago's mass transit train system. Not everyone has seen Blues Brothers, you know.
 
Apparently, "Elohim" is supposed to be the OLD SCHOOL god that is going to punish everyone who hasn't subscribed the this particular newsletter.

The newsletter that you can only find by accident on the train, apparently.

I particularly like how the main paragraph is just one big sentence. Found text is aways a treat, you know?
 
This has to be on the North Side where all the wackos live. I never encounter this stuff when I ride the Orange Line. Everything is so clean when I leave the station then the nice voice says 'You are at Pulaski' and I look up and all I can see is gang graffiti and I say to myself 'Yes, I am on Pulaski now and so glad I am on the train and not on the street. The nice voice then reminds me of things not to do or I shall be put in jail or fined or whatnot. As the train rolls east, the worse it fucking gets. Ashland is the absolute worst!
 
I heard that, man the orange line can be pretty bleak on the way to Midway.

I generally ride the Bleu line... the band is currently working on a tune called "California Is Next".

Have you seen the crazy TV like advertising between Clark/Lake and Washington on the Blue line? It was a Target ad, and now it's a Honda ad... wierd ass moving pictures scrolling by on the wall outside the train proper. It scares me.

I've found the Green line to be the most reliable, and it's kinda cool to be ridin' the train at street level and shit.

Never get up that far. I go to downtown on business here and there. I've heard about that ad on the radio a few days ago.
 
Don't be fooled TKr's..Iscabittle is passing those flyers out himself. I've been to Chicago..and I saw him doing it :shock:
lol.gif
 
Damn you Starguard!!!

Elohim and I are gonna push you in front of the train! I was going to fool everyone here, and you've foiled my plans for the last time!

Argggh!
 
I was riding Boston's T on Monday, and this black jamaican french drunk schizophrenic crazy guy got on and started babbling while pushing flyers into anyone's hands he could. That apocalyptic shit is creepy.

Speaking of bands, at the Park Street stop these two mexican guys were playing and singing with this PA system that seemed to have it's own power supply. Know anything about portable PA's that you can carry, yet set up for a full band performance pretty instantly? I was impressed by the equipment...18 inch JBL woofers and a separate box tweeter, but no visible plug in sight.

Aw, GODDAMMIT!

You just HAD to go and give me an idea for a story, DINTCHA!
 
Inspirato strikes in the wee hours, and from strange places indeed.

And jack, the only battery powered amps I can thing of off the top o' me head are the Pignose series... if these guys were pushing JBLs they may have had some sort of battery pack or somethin'.

The musicians busking in the Chicago train stations range from badass to piss-poor, I'll tell you. The one dude that plays bass and sings is pretty wicked, pullin' off complex chord systems on a Steringer headless bass, while the blind, mute, smelly, and crippled homeless guy with the Casio keyboard is a little sad.

He just hits the demo button and plops down his hat. Maybe more than a little sad.
 
I only looked at it because my bandmate found it and brought it up... although I do tend to read any found text I come across. You can really find some gems out there in the concrete wilderness.

Like the scrap of paper I found on the bus:
John, come home after work, and bring milk. We need to talk about our marridge. Julia.
Click to expand...

Hand to god, that's what this little scrap of paper said. You can't help but extrapolate a story out of these two sentences... Julia is pissed at John and would like to talk to him about it, but he doesn't normally come home straight from work (probably visits the pub to make home life "tolerable"). Oh, and she needs milk. So he's riding the bus home and the note falls out of his pocket, or he discards it after remembering to retrieve the milk.

All in all, it just further solidifies the idea that all of this teeming life and action around us is real, there are other people out there with real lives, real feelings and desires, and real stories to tell. We can just barely see the surface when we brush by them on the stairs, in line for coffee, or when we purchase our condoms.

I wonder what "The Messenger" is up to now? Masterbating to polish pornography? Not likely, I guess, but it's fun to imagine.
 
I wonder if it John brought back the sort of milk Julia wanted? Full fat, semi-skimmed, there are so many choices. Julia should have helped her husband my clarifying, maybe that is what is wreaking chaos in their 'marridge'?
 
Maybe she didn't misspell marrige... maybe she misspelled "porridge" and the milk was the last ingredient she needed.

See? That's what I'm talking about with found text... there's so much wonder and mystery in the world...
