GOTHS FOR BUSH

Lord Pomaratin

 

Hello, I don't like to talk to people. This is all I have, it contains a part of me.

To understand me all you need do is put the back of your hand to your forehead, I live through you. Can you not begin to feel my dark sensuality and sweeping sadness? I am so sad that George Bush is the president so I will vote for him as will the others in my group.

I will be crushed if he does not win, the others in the race do not possess the true spirit, they are imposters, feigning obeisance at the throne of the mystical and ancient ways of the Black Sages. As such they are unworthy.

We are forming this Goth Republican Band to help elect George Bush to continue the sadness. His actions facilitate our morbid fascination and the beauty of enduring pain. Many people lead unhappy lives and that is sad. Bush will continue the sadness. He knows that gentle people are excellent for spanking. His foreign policy is the best, he spanks the world and the unseen one knows it deserves it, so beautifully dirty, grimy and perverse.

We are witnesses to the horrific, the media interprets this as meaning we are the perpetrators. This is not true. We are in love with religious imagery, because of its power, darkness, and intangibility.

For us George Bush is a religious object, to be placed on a pedestal. We want this site to be a reliquary to the re-election of George Bush

We are serious and want to help him and keep him in power. It amuses us on many levels to do so. Please help us maintain this simple web page so we might communicate with other bands.

A white rose will be dipped in blood in your name this night, for all who respond.

 

Goth Talk: With Elianore

To start all of this, I would like to state I do not know my purpose in writing this, and I will not know until I am finished. I do not know if anyone but me will understand, or comprehend what I am trying to say in this, and I do not know if anyone cares either. It matters not though, I am writing this for myself, to try to see if you can help me understand why I am depressed, why I am not happy like everyone else, and why I can't take life for granted. The next few paragraphs should explain to you, in detail, my feelings, my views, and hopefully the truth on what is wrong with great ol' America.

Now from what I have heard, and this may not be true, but I have heard it nonetheless:

Americans are not as happy now as they were forty years ago. Now you yourself may say you're happy, but let's look at you, let us look at yourself and see if you cannot find holes in your happiness. Many people are out for money, that is all they are out for. People work at a job not because they enjoy it, but because they want money. A lot of America, a very large majority I have found, believes they can find happiness in money. Honestly, I believe they are wrong. How can money be happiness when you are alone? But then maybe you argue that with money you would not be alone. If people like you simply because of your money, you are more alone than I am. I walk down the face of this Earth, alone. I am holding no ones hand, and no one is behind me saying keep on going, or keep on moving. When I stumble, when I trip, no one helps me up. I have to get up myself. That is being alone. Having company that stays with you because you have money, that is a whole world worse, because then you're just lying to yourself.

Happiness, it's a wonderful thing, many say they have found it, and wear a happy face, and many are lying to themselves. Some people, yes, there are those out there, are happy. Truly happy. When you leave your house to go work at your job for hours each day, are you happy? Do you look forward to slaving over papers at a desk? When you come home to find whatever you have at your house there, are you happy? Or does each and every day seem worse than the last one? Does each and every day seem to just eat another part of you alive? Because many, all too many people feel the latter. If people could stop seeing life as a chance to make money and be someone important to everyone. It's not about that. Life is about people. If everyone could just find someone else, we wouldn't have famine, we wouldn't have sickness, we wouldn't have poverty. We wouldn't have conflicts over land, we wouldn't kill each other for a dollar. I doubt I will ever see the day that humanity realizes this, and I doubt I will ever find someone to hold me. But if eventually we could evolve to such a level, we would truly be better than apes, as we claim to be.

Please, each and everyone of you, think about this. Think about life. Think about happiness. Think about war, and think about death. Then, after you have, Ask yourself, do you want to be happy, or would you rather be rich? And then ask, which is really worth more?

 

 

Goth Republican Convergence  7.28.04

Minutes

Among our band there are two conflicting memories of the first Bush Convergence. One is of  nearly unprecedented controversy; presaging doom, corruption, incompetence, and all manner of nebulous outrages related to an expected travesty of an event. The other image is of a real-life,  event attended by 8-plus  political goths who, by almost all accounts, enjoyed themselves immensely and compared C1 with previous Convergences in a positive light.  The story of Convergence Bush 1 is  inverted in the most stark terms, as you shall soon read. Appearances deceive.

To set the mood, Mistress Luciada played  music from Cadle of Filth, Angelwhore and Llacuna Coil..  The windows were then suitably duct-taped and otherwise lightproofed; the only light allowed near us was the glare reflecting from Elianore's red  lipstick.  We were satisfied  that the  facility was properly set for dominating the minds of innocents and forcing them to accept George Bush.

We began with a short reading from Poe and discussed  the true horrors of life under George Bush. It was agreed that there is no hope, only pain and sadness and that he would continue to provide us with the same.  Lord Pomaratin led us to take  time to deal with our  personal  immense displeasure of living.

 

Refreshment break:  - Snacks were generously provided by the kind macrobiotic staff of the Oaks Bluff's Fertile Foods store, here in Martha's Vineyard and consisted of Evian water and fresh strawberries in kefir, thanks for the support!

 

We decided to collect money for George Bush and raised $6.00 between us. It was decided the best way to spend it would be to take the bus  to the mall and seek out others that we could convince to support George Bush and our  sadness.

We were able to bring back 'boy with no name' We found him standing outside of the food court and he was wet from the rain. He looked beautiful with his black hair sticking to his neck and his make up running down his soft face. We told him he should stay wet and we would let him join our social circle. He was sad and welcomed the company to share his sadness with and agreed to support George Bush with us. Already our working for Bush is of benefit to our band. Through him, we are growing.

We decided to end the meeting as several needed to return to their dwelling places and agreed to meet again next month for George Bush.

End of first meeting





Goth Republican Convergence 11.07.04



Minutes

C2 was a gathering of our band like no other. It happened in Pinwhistle's basement as it was the only room available that would allow all of us to gather in one place. We are now a band 22 strong. We owe this to George Bush. Over the last months we have been active in spreading the word of his sadness and what he will bring. Many listened to us and joined with us. We gathered on the 2nd of November in the early evening to add our spirit support to George Bush.

As the election returns began to come in we could hardly contain ourselves. Mary Jet provided refreshments that consisted of 'Texas Punch' and a tray of animal crackers to symbolize all the creatures that would die under George Bush. Her sister L. made gingerbread cookies of people from around the world. We ate them in silence and thought of them and the coming of George Bush. The room was quiet with our content thoughts.

Pinwhistle, who is a hemophiliac, hit himself in the face with a rolled up newspaper and started bleeding over a dozen white roses that we had purchased for the night and the celebrations to come. As he bled, we chanted to the Black Sages for help in the election of George Bush. We decided to count our money that we had left over from our spending on the election. We had raised $78.50, mostly from selling blood roses at an ICP concert, and had spent only $55.45. We decided that we had done all we could and sent Boy With No Name out to the store with the rest of the treasury to buy sparkling water for later.


You all may remember Boy and how we met him. On Halloween he began to annoy us with his whining so we took him to the graveyard to scare him a little When we got there, Patty P. told him to lay down his bag that we had him bring with steaks and stuff, mount the wall, and look over into the yard, to see whether all was clear before us; and, as far as the light would enable him, to look about for a new-made grave. Very reluctantly he complied, and contrived to scramble to the top of the wall. He had hardly time, however, to peer over into the churchyard, when a fluttering streak of lightning flashed over us, followed, in a second or two, by a loud burst of thunder. Boy fell in an instant to the ground, like a nut from a tree, and lay crossing himself and muttering paternosters. We could scarcely help laughing at the manner in which he tumbled down, simultaneously with the flash of lightning. We care for him though as he was a sign, our first convert to George Bush.

To be very candid , none of us felt over-much at our ease. Our band began to wear somewhat during the early returns. Once Ohio was called for George Bush we knew the election had gone the way we had planned. Those of us old enough to vote, 15 total, had all voted that day and all for George Bush. We touched so many people during this process. We decided to continue spreading the word for George Bush and continue to grow our social circle.

I should say at this point that I am asexual. I do not believe in self pleasure. Elianore and I had decided that should George Bush be re-elected that an offering of grand proportion was in order. It was a grotesque if not a ludicrous scene. Late in the evening several of us stimulated ourselves and carried our spent seed to Elianore and she implanted them within herself. Of this benediction, however, it would be false to say this life could really be created it is still ruled by a pale ghost, it is still ordered by a sovereign presence. Should it be the wish of the Sages, a baby will grow from this ceremony and offering. We will name the baby George, either boy or girl. We will raise it as George Bush was raised in the hope of continuing his sadness.

Submitted respectfully, Lord Pomaratin.


 

george bush

the night falls in a heavy, suffocating cloak, entwined are we.
the salvation from bush we lust for
flares once, then dies again,
swallowed by a velvet ebonite nothingness.
all hope must surely perish if he wins.

his passion throbs no more.
how could he tear us asunder?
his shadows surround us all, crying,
save us from ourselves, we will follow you.

LETTERS TO GOTHS FOR BUSH

with all do respect let me introduce my self first before i begin, my name
is Jenna and I am a fellow Goth and I dont understand the purpose of your
site. Firstly, being goth does not involve being sad and being depressed,
that is not what it is about..if you are going to label yourself goth be
it and quit acting like life has no meaning. We at vampirefreaks.com are
outraged at your lacking of gothic understanding, it makes the rest of us
look terribly and horribly bad in society and that is not what we want..
we are bashed enough by parents, the media and people in general we dont
need to draw more attention than we need. You have the right to say what
you want but you arent goth let me be the first to inform you, your
wardrobe means nothing seeming as you dont hold the true gothic mind. Let
me let you in on a little secret, Republicans will destroy our country.
Have you no compassion for those who dont lead our lives and dont wish for
suffering? I pride myself and saturate my life with the dark but i dont
force anyone into it that is not my place. I wish no harm upon anyone who
is righteously innocent and I dont see violence and death of the innocent
as amusing. Children shouldnt take any part in suffering, they are too
young to understand what suffering is, it is the time in their lives that
they will truly be pure and when they grow up and their eyes are opened
they will know pain. But for right now no child should know death, it
isnt fair for them it is not right. Now, Bush was reelected contragulate
yourselves on a job well done and bring out the wine, rejoice. After you
have been drunk enough and after the celebration ceases then let me let
you in on another secret. Your president is a liar, that is all you need
to know... and if you dont believe me, well my friends i pity you. If you
need the proof..watch farenheit 9/11 it will open your eyes and you will
see what you dont already know. Maybe its because you have been so much
worried about mourning you cant see the forest for the trees. But it is
not Bush i wish to speak about it is the goth lifestyle, a lesson needs to
be taught and you all need to learn the reality of what it is if you wish
to become it we will embrace you, but enough with your mourning... enjoy
life as it is because once you are dead and your corpse falls into decay
you will never have the chance again. I leave you with that and I meant
no kind of disrespect I have much love fo you all I just dont think i need
to agree with everything if i dont see it to be right. time is a precious
of esence thank you for spending some of it on me.

Jenna Evancore

Jenna, I wish you were here with me now so that I could look into your eyes. I can not see you I can only feel you. I tremble for you. I wish I could impart my feelings to you so that you too could feel what I feel. I am complete and it is because of George Bush. His sadness is sweeping. He fills a void within all of us. He brings us together.

You sound confused in your letter, as if you are searching for something in your life. You are lost in the fringe world of the Vamps. If you desire it, you have but to open your soul to the true Goth lifestyle and reject those who would turn your mind.

I thank you for writing and we will discuss your letter at our next band gathering.

Lord Pomaritin

I am not worthy of the piercing joy you have found beneath the mailed
fist of your savior. May the purity of your gods blue blood rain over
you in his ejaculatory pride in his mandate bestowed upon him by the
will-crushed followers of orthodoxy.

I will seek the darkness to contemplate, and hide, from the coming
glory of your savior and redeemer.
Be at peace. You have won. We all have lost.

 

Scott, your letter fills us all with a sadness that can not be put into words. You have touched me.

Subject: Why Bush?


As a goth, i understand your goals, but disagree with the
methods you are using.

Of course Bush will make the world a sadder place, but i
believe watching Kerry trying to make it a better place
would be more amusing.

Watching the Democrats cleaning up after the Republicans
has been a source of amusement for me - i know that after
the Democrats has gotten the house in a little bit of
order, the Republicans will mess it up again.

These things happen in cycles (Reagan/Bush snr to Clinton
to Bush jnr)

It is important to accept these cycles, and to learn to
enjoy them.

Besides, to an outsider like myself, there is not
difference between the two parties - except that the
Republicans don't lie as well about having the interest of the world and the American people at heart.

 

 

Grant,. We did discuss the Kerry factor and it was in our discussions. We feel that supporting George Bush will bring more sadness. You are not an outsider, you are welcome here with us. Please do not feel that way.
