Faux Outsider Speculative Political Theory Performance art, 1887

JF Ptak Science Books   Quick Post

Having just finished a similar post (“Faux Outsider Speculative History of Rattling Musical Jaw Bones, or Something”) I think that there may be room enough in this blog garden for a series of Faux Outsiders to Accompany the True Outsider Speculatives. For this one, though, I just can’t read the thing because the whole thing comes off in slightly wobbly, gelatinous manner, though I do like the cover art. The pamphlet starts on page 401 volume II, though it is unclear if this pagination actually means something. After the introductory page, we are introduced to a newsletter, which begins with volume II no. 2 for the first month of “Julian Year 6600”.

So I’ll just reproduce the cover and the first page of the newsletter, and consider my service complete.

Books cover ol'erNote:

“According to the Bible, Boaz and Jachin [names used in the design on the cover] were two copper, brass or bronze pillars which stood in the porch of Solomon’s Temple, the first Temple in Jerusalem.”–WIkipedia
