Kenn Thomas at ARC
Kenn Thomas alerts us to a gig he’ll be speaking at in August: the Alternative Research Community event in Bath, England on August 28-29.
And here’s the information on Kenn’s lecture:
PARAPOLITICS; WILHELM REICH AND UFOs: Kenn Thomas has promoted alternative points of view since the founding of his conspiracy magazine, Steamshovel Press, in the late 1980s. His mentors and teachers have included the psychedelic psychologist Tim Leary and the Beat literary figures William S. Burroughs and Allen Ginsberg. Kenn has concentrated on the study and promotion of ‘parapolitics’ – those hidden and covered up activities that exert enormous sway over public life but have little or no public accountability. “JFK’s 1960 election is an example of a public political event,” says Kenn, “The conspiracy that ended in his assassination in 1963 is a parapolitical event – and we’ve had half a century trying to integrate just that one into the kind of open, democratic culture to which most aspire.” He will demonstrate that it’s less ‘conspiracy theory’ and more the kind of authentic public discourse the media fails daily to provide; reviewing the history of important dissenting personalities such as Wilhelm Reich, and showing how the UFO subculture remains a vital voice of dissent despite fifty years of ridicule.
