Part 0.1:
!! WARNING!!

This book is a virus. It was constructed to be a Virus that will infect your head, and through you replicate itself to other heads until it has used up all the human
resources. It has been carefully constructed out of lines and lines of code to alter the
programming of the unit that comes in contact with it. Right now as you read this you must be made fully aware that the intention of this Virus is to destroy the world as you
know it and bring about change that we, or should I say I, feel is for the better.
To put this into computing terms, right now you are part of an operating system. A rather resource-intensive operating system which was coded poorly, and is not even
remotely effective in attaining the most benefits or bringing the human race to its full potential. It is, in fact, the worst piece of bloat-ware that the world has ever seen. So I am
here to try to write a Virus that will infect all the components of the OS and then exploit it for different means.

I am trying to hack the planet one head at a time.
Oh, you may have guessed by this point that just about everything in this book is in Cyberpunk terms. This is because if you are already an older, established person in
your comfy little world, the chances of you wanting change are slim to none. But the next generation, Generation K, is already realizing The Lie and is pretty pissed off about it,
actually. Generation K is the wired generation; the generation that was not raised but
distracted and misled until we finally put down our game pad to realize that we are suddenly adults. We are forced to do things we hate so we can buy things we don't need
to impress people we don't even like! It's all messed up, but now we are all supposed to do our part for the Matrix.

Fuck that noise.
We need a solution, and that's exactly what this Virus is. There are a couple of other things that you should know before you go any further. (Aside from the fact that this
book is a Virus I mean.)

1. Everything in this book is stolen.
There is not one original thought in this thing. This whole Virus code was one giant script-kiddy cut and paste. Gimme a break! How the hell am I supposed to write 1
1 Page 2 3
ii
some resistance software that doesn't utilize the tons of great code already written? I could say that these ideas have been copied, shared, taught even, but all those terms are
synonymous with stolen now anyway, so what the hell? Why not? Yeah, I ripped off other books, movies, concepts, dreams, role-playing games. I took all their ideas, put my
own evil spin on it, and wrapped it up in English text for the purpose of meat-bot infection.

2. I swear in this book.
The concept of a bad word is completely lost on me. The whole idea of a word being good or bad is kinda medieval in my eyes anyway. If you're someone who is easily
offended then I would beg you to keep reading; you're the one who needs this Virus the most.

3. I am NOT some highly educated authorial messiah
I am sure you know what I am talking about here. Sean Kennedy will not be a name used in the sentence "Oh, have you read…" by some high-knowledge/ low-mileage
muckity-muck who will think that I'm brilliant. I have no degree, no college or university education, no special rights or abilities
that should wow you into going "Ooooh, he's smart! I want to follow what he says and let him give me my chicken-soup-for-the-soul-identity that I need so bad because I have no
idea who I am!" If that's what you want, then PLEASE keep reading. You need this Virus in the
worst way.

4. The changes described in this book require technology.
There were dreams back in "the good old days" (that never were) about how technology would wind up making the world a better place for everyone. This, of course,
was just another example of what corporations throw out through their marketing cannons to give us consumer cattle hope.
But then along came the Internet. The big bad Internet, which they first wanted to make into a kind of Über-mall, but when they discovered people were using it far beyond
the vision of the corporate model, they began using terror tactics to try and stop us. The word Hacker has become synonymous with baby killer or demon. They have even gone
so far as to actually call these curious teenagers "terrorists"; no doubt once this text gets circulated the next terror buzzwords will be "Digital Cultists".
What you need to realize is that technology DOES NOT make the world a better place. Technology is a tool that gives YOU the power to make the world a better place.
The level of communication that now exists all over the world enables us to organize and 2
2 Page 3 4
iii
cooperate in ways the world has never seen. If you do not own or have access to a computer by now, you are in critical danger.
When I say that you are in danger, it's not some novelists "hook tool" to get you to turn to the next page, nor is it some fire and brimstone scare tactic to make you join the
KULT and send us all your cash. I say this because it is the simple truth, and if you look around, you can see it for yourself. That is, if you have the courage to look around.
Otherwise, you can put down this virus, Change the channel,
And go back to sleep. 3

Part 1.0:
It's all FUBAR
If you are already a vegetarian or an activist in some way, then you can just skip right over this chapter and continue infecting yourself with Part 1.2. If you have even the
slightest notion that our North American society is NOT Fucked Up Beyond All Recognition (FUBAR), then Part 1.0 is the wake up call.
Now, you have to remember at this point that I am just a guy. It's not like I'm some sociology expert. I am not going to turn this into a huge statement about the hows
or whys. There's already way too much written on that anyway. If you want more information, then jump on the net and look it up yourself.
So why, then, do I say that North American society is FUBAR? Ok, here are just a few reasons:

8 Million unemployed
Why do you suppose this is? Are these people lazy? Do they have no drive? For some maybe, but do you know the answer for the rest? These are people who are just like
you and me. These people are the ones who got "down-sized", "phased-out", fired, laid-off, or quit. This is not their fault of course; nor is it the fault of immigrants or
technology, as racist Luddites and blind finger-pointers would have you believe. This is the fault of corporations.
Large corporations hate their employees. This is a simple fact. The reason for this is that an employee is an expense that they want to eliminate. Let's look at it from a
corporate standpoint, shall we?
To run our company we need labor, but we want it for the lowest possible price. We have to pay minimum wage (who's bright idea was that anyway?) unless we set up
shop in some groovy third world country where we can hire children and work them to death! Then, there are those goddamn unions! Those fucking unions demand benefits and
all sorts of hell! We've almost got them killed, but again, the third world option is the way to go. We want productive workers, so if we burn our employees out with
ridiculously high workloads, they will quit or die, and we wont have to give them a raise.
Think that it's bullshit? Then you haven't been in the modern workforce. The modern market place is dominated solely by the drive for the dollar and the 8 million who
got pushed over the edge are just a by-product. They are only the beginning of the slave-labor pool that is being built. 5
5 Page 6 7

20 Million Hungry
What does that mean? Well, this is the next lower caste after the unemployed. These are the unemployed after about 6 months. It's not that these people are unemployed
mind you, some of them who got fired (oh, sorry; I mean down-sized) from their life long job of 25 years have found meaningful employment for minimum-slave-wage, and are
trying now to support their family. They are now part of the "hungry" category. It's interesting how these category statistics are so readily available in order to scare the rest
of us. These are People; real human beings like you and me, that are living on the edge with nowhere to go, all to protect a profit margin.

400,000 Homeless
Now, you and I both know that this number is wrong. There are far more homeless people in America than this, but for right now, we will go with it. The homeless
of course are the invisible members of society. This caste is what even middle and lower income people have become used to calling "scum." A large number of these people have
medical problems and have been cast out as the sick and weak for all manner of predators to consume. Do you know the best part about this? It's that we don't even care. You're
trying to make ends meet yourself, and what can you do? Nothing. Except of course consume even more to make yourself feel like your less close to the edge.

1/ 3rd of all government expenditure is financing the military
Why must we live in a society that keeps war as its #1 source of revenue? It seems like the economics of western society is based on war! But let me ask you something:
Who are we fighting? The Russians are no longer a threat and I wonder if they ever really were. So who is the threat? Who are we declaring war on? Or is that all an excuse for
building a military to occupy your own country? Think I'm way off here? Ask yourself how many times the military has been on standby for "civil disobedience" in the last 5
years.

GE and Westinghouse control 85% in heavy electrical equipment. IBM controls 80% in computers
Boeing and McDonnell Douglas control 80% in aircraft 10 out of 14,500 banks own 34% of all assets. 6

Are you starting to get the caste system picture here? The age of neo-feudalism is coming quick! Soon there is going to be no middle class. There is only going to be the
super-rich in their gated communities, the wage-slave state, and the burnt out homeless who are kept in line by martial law masquerading as a police state. We claim that we are
no longer numbers, and this is true; except that now, we're a commodity. Like, say, ... livestock.

Rape is becoming a pastime
Our society doesn't even care. They teach women to scream fire instead of rape in major cities because we have become so numb to the needs of our neighbor that we no
longer give a shit. Say what you like about the 50s and 60s, but at least they had a sense of community. But now, if men in black coats kicked in you door, would your neighbors
even care? Would they notice? Probably not. If you put a frog in water and heat it slowly, it won't jump out. This is our fate if we do not stop this madness!

60% of all Blacks, 53% of Hispanics, and 48% of Asians live in deteriorating central cities
Is this an accident? Not even close. Racism is just as alive as ever, only now its hidden. The good old boys' golf clubs and Masonic halls have all done their unspoken
deed in repressing the undesirables. Yet even now a new race is emerging from the streets of our society. This race will be hated and beaten worse than any of the others: the race of
the poor.

1 in 100 Americans are in jail! The war on drugs, the war on crime, the war on gangs; we don't try to solve
problems; instead we wage war on them, and now the prison industry is one of the fastest growing industries going. Who pays the price in lives? The poor. The weak. The very
people that this society should be trying to help.

What is our total population of slaves?

With a forced-labor structured slave state of 60 million, at what point do you say, "HEY! What is going on?" When is it enough? Oh, sure, that's only a couple of statistics;
you could go on all day and night with numbers and stats, but that still doesn't give you any indication as to why this has occurred or how this affects you.

Why should you care?
Life is hard; buy a helmet, right? 7

So what if some other bastard is lazy or has bad luck?
You've got your own ass to cover, right?
Bullshit. 8

Part 1. 1
In the days of old, you could always tell who had seniority in primitive gatherings. The higher class would always wear more feathers or bones on their body, or perhaps a
style of dress that let others know that they had some kind of elevated position in their primitive social scale.
Now, today we are far more advanced. Today we gather in groups and can tell status by silk-screened tags representing large corporations that are attached to our
clothing. The symbols that are emblazoned on our automobiles are somehow elevating to our status in our "advanced" society. My, how truly advanced we have become! How did
this vicious cycle begin? Well, the answer is obvious from the above mentioned cave dwellers. Perhaps a better question might be, "Why does it continue?" It continues
because you let it!
Let's talk about you.
You know for a fact that most of the modern world is bullshit. You know that most of what people believe is a massive lie. You know that people don't even have real
desires anymore, what they have is a kind of neo-postindustrial-bullshit consumerism that robs people of their individuality and their own mental processes.

You know that you don't fit in.
You know this because people have told you that all your life. You have been plagued with" You think too much" or "Why do you get yourself
so worked up?" or "Why are you so angry?" This of course is scattered slightly with smatterings of insults calling you freak, loser, psycho, or whatever bullshit label they
attach to things that they don't understand.
Despite what they tell you, you also know that you're smart. Sure you may not admit it out loud, maybe you don't even admit it to yourself, but the fact remains that you
see things differently than anyone else. You're on the outskirts, on the fringe, you're probably lonely, and to be honest, if you could sell out maybe you would. The truth of
the matter is, however, that you can't change the way you are, and no one is willing to accept you. So fuck them. They don't want you as part of their society, fair enough; you
don't even want them to be part of your world.
Fuck them.
Maybe you dyed your hair, maybe you put steel in your face, maybe you have a close circle of friends that are the closest thing to family you ever had, and without them
you're basically alone in the world.
Then along comes the Internet. You find a world of people who can see each other but can't touch each other. A world where you're safe; where you can use your 9
9 Page 10 11

smarts to your own advantage. But now even that has become trendy and there are 10 million fucking losers who think that they know what the power of the Internet is, and
what it's all about. They think that they know who you are, and are offering a whole new selection of colorful shapes for you to conform to. Now you'll be able to squeeze into a
hole.
Look how society has changed, all just for you!!! Don't you feel special?
Now you can get friends by doing the exact same things that people used to get beaten for!

Now that you have useful skills and knowledge, they feel they can wave money in front of your face and gain your allegiance. But what they don't realize is that allegiance
comes from the heart, and not from the wallet. It comes from something that the corporate whores gave up a long time ago.

Remember when you were a child and your promise meant something to you, as well as to other people? Remember when a promise was sacred, and your word was your
bond? But now corporations have us so messed up, we aren't even sure who we are anymore, and when we try to express ourselves by dying our hair, or by wearing mirrored
shades, they call us unprofessional. The modern tribal status has got us chasing things we don't need to impress people we don't even like! Why, they even have the gall to tell us
we should do that sort of thing on our own time, implying of course that not all time is our own. I don't know about you, but I sure as shit don't keep anybody else's time. "Our
own time": what a concept! To keep us complacent during our "off hours", a whole new industry that's cropped up, the entertainment industry.

The entertainment industry is the escape industry.
We haven't been raised we've been distracted.
We were all watching the television trying to get away from our lives and now, suddenly we are adults. The entertainment industry makes money by telling people how
to get away from our fucked up society. Talk about sweeping it under the rug!!! Don't fix anything for Christ's sake, just cover it up with more dazzle, make up, cars, or whatever
gets you through the night!!! And hey, there is always Prozac… People live for IRC chat rooms, people live to play Quake or Half Life or
whatever the flavor of the month is. Whatever happened to being people for the sake of being people? I am a "human being" not a human doing. Whatever happened to dreams
of community? It seems like society is trying extra hard to create everyone in the same image. They have to make all people follow the same set of rules. Everyone has to fit into
a category; everyone has to fit into a section of the world; everyone has to be a productive member of society; everyone has to pay their taxes; everyone has to be a member of the
state. Well, I'm sick of their governments, I'm sick of their rules, and I'm sick of their state. 10
10 Page 11 12

I swear, I yell, I have dreams, I'm not pretty, I'm not perfect, and I'm sick of taking everyone's shit. More than this I'm sick of seeing everyone else take shit too.
Where is all this shit coming from anyway? Has our society become more civilized or more corporate? There is a big difference between the two: a corporate society is
dedicated to making money no mater what the cost; a civilized society recognizes that money and status are the tribal feathers of a dying people. What is it that drives us to be
the consumer gluttons that we have become?
The media.
Think about it. All your life, not once did you decide what was cool; it was shown to you through the screen of the TV, or the local magazine. If you liked something else,
God forbid, you were different! And, of course, you paid the price for it. And, ultimately, what is the big sword that the media holds over us? Being "not cool". Why is it that
people are not looking to discover for themselves things that are "cool" and are looking instead to what the mass mentality thinks is cool? It probably has something to do with
television and the mentalities that it breeds in us as people. If you sit back and think about it, how many of your heroes, that is to say, the people that you tried to emulate and be like
as you grew older, weren't even real people? They were actors playing the role of individuals who didn't, or couldn't, even exist. We became so discouraged with our own
failure to be these impossible heroes we just gave up on ourselves. The media fills the void with things we don't have and don't need by watching shows like Lifestyles of the
Rich and Famous. Then we turn off the TV and realize how shitty our life is because we don't make a six-figure income and have excessive amounts of junk. The corporate media
says it's cool, and by denying that you become a "freak", or a "loser". Well, so be it!
The bad news: Forever more, the people still struggling to be media-impossible-team cool-guy captains will look at you and shake their heads after giggling slightly for
some uncomfortable reason they're not even sure of.
The good news: Now you can do whatever you want, dress any way you want, act any way you want, because it doesn't matter what you do. You're not worried about the
curse of cool. You don't have to be Tommy Hillfiger or Martha Stewart; now you can just be you, in all your nasty, go-fuck-yourself splendor and no one can say a word!

You don't need them, or their lies. What if you really did dress how you wanted to dress? Acted how you wanted to? Decorated the way you really wanted to? Let's all be
real for just a second here; who is anyone else to judge you? By removing the social influence and judgment of others, one is then forced to reflect upon the question of who
they are. So, who are you? How can you define yourself are without outside influence? Is
rejecting the world around you enough? What if you've got kids or some responsibility? All this is so hard… how can we ever hope to change anything? 11

Part 1.2:
How this happened
As you look at history you can see pinnacle moments, forks if you will, in the pathway of the Earth's history. World War II is a perfect example. When the Allies
defeated the Nazis, the fate of nations and races were affected. Because we destroyed what we now know to be evil, we have the freedom that we know today. But hindsight is
always 20/ 20. I guarantee that at the time when Hitler was screaming his madness, there were a
lot of companies getting rich off of his scheme to conquer the earth and destroy the undesirables (Bayer and Ralph Lauren to name two). When these people were prospering
there were folks worshiping Hitler like a god. It wasn't until his evil had been destroyed that we all knew the truth.
So it could be said that the war was a turning point in history, but what was the turning point in that war? Was it when the Enigma machine was captured? Would that
then mean that the actual soldier who got the Enigma machine was directly responsible for changing the face of time on earth? That's a fairly hefty thought, but I believe you
understand my point.
So: what of our future? The progression to absolute corporate power through the monetary manipulation of governments is inevitable. At this stage of the game, we need
to be worried about defense; about damage control. This is not a new idea by any stretch. There have been survivalists living out in the bush, fearing for their freedom since the
1950s. I disagree with their methods, but not entirely with their ideas. There is a dark time coming; a time that we have seen in films, books and multimedia culture. It is a time
when we as people are bought and sold as "consumers". A time when individual rights are specifically listed as perks for working with a certain company. When open protests of
private companies' tyranny are quashed by a marionette military dancing for their multinational business masters. A future where the environment is a wasteland of toxic
policies and destruction. I am talking about the dark future of corporate government. The Corpolitical.

This is unavoidable!
There have been folks fighting a brave and valiant battle against the coming tyranny for the last 50 years. However here, now, on the dawn of a new millennium we
have to see that the battle is not going well. Greed is the king of this planet now, and the caste system is firmly entrenching itself into our society. The propagandistic mainstream
media tries to make out those few who stand and fight to be terrorists, hooligans, hackers, and thugs bent on anarchy. This is nothing but lies, yet the general member of our North
American society is too concerned with paying off their own debt to notice. This is no slight against them, instead it's a statement to how well we have been distracted. We 12
12 Page 13 14

won't get in the way of the Corpolitical. How has this been put into place, this elaborate web of oppression? It was not the doing of some "all-seeing all-knowing" Illuminati
group, as many conspiracists would like to believe. Instead, Directional Chaos put this into being.

Directional Chaos: A core desire applied to a high number of separate entities, which in turn produce complimentary efforts to one another. These overlaps will
eventually create a single environment for achieving that desire, which is far more successful and complex than any one individual could produce.

The realization of this force is vital. It is the reason why things are as fucked up today as they are, but more importantly, it will provide the solution to the problems that
we now face. The future that is coming will be a dark time indeed; but why? How did this happen? 13
13 Page 14 15
10
The Corpolitical Directional Chaos
Since the people invaded North America and took it from the Native Americans, the settlers' motivation has always been to "prosper" (Read: "make money"). It's not that
these people came here to be greedy, but the reality of the world is without cash, you have nothing to bargain with, and so the more cash you have the more power you have.
This was the core desire of North America: "Make money by any means necessary", with the end justifying the means. Many a patriot would love to riot at how I
paint the settlers who "cleared" this great continent as greedy vultures, but they sure didn't want to share it with anyone, especially not with the people who were already
living here. The sin that was the genocide of the Native American culture has tainted and
cursed our modern society right from its bloody beginnings. The invaders came in and wanted the land, yet there was this Native American problem. So they killed all the
Native Americans and wrote a whole genre of propaganda about how the West was won.
The Corpolitical Core belief
"Achieve power through wealth with extreme prejudice."
This is the goal to make money with the mentality that the ends will justify the means. But more than this is the prejudice to not only stop people who get in your way,
but to take steps that they will not get in your way again. The only trouble was that these darn pesky Natives didn't seem too keen on
moving off the face of the planet; they fought, and were slaughtered by the millions. They were infected with diseases, shot, raped, burned, mutilated, enslaved, beaten, killed as
sport, the list goes on until now there is only a shadow of one of the greatest cultures the world has ever seen.

Time passes, and of course we ran out of Natives pretty fast. But now there was too many sharks trying to east the same fish. In order to stop the violence, a legal system
was needed to regulate the bloodshed down from genocide to paper cuts. This new legal system was a friend to "decent folks" who didn't like the same tactics used on them that
they used on the Native Americans, but this soon became a problem for businesses. With this new legal system those with more power couldn't just muscle their way around and
kill undesirables. The only people who could be openly killed now, were these criminals that didn't want to live inside restrictions placed on the body, by the body.
Now, granted, many of the laws put into place were fairly good to promote the health of the group, such as: don't kill people, But Native Americans and Blacks and
Criminals were fine because they're not "decent folks". Soon there are people making so many more rules and laws that a web is created with each new law set in place along with
the other laws and precedents made before it. A web that is flexible enough to be twisted by words and phrases, making it possible to eliminate any remnant of a laws original
ideal. 14
14 Page 15 16
11
This new system of rules, this legal system, gained more power than even the Government. It was the weapon of choice, and there came a call for men with knowledge
of this new weapon; a kind of hacker, who had intimate workings of this legal web and all its links. These hackers were called lawyers.

Of these new lawyers, there were those who fought for what they considered to be just and morally right (white hats), and those that fought for the money and desire for
power (black hats). This was the beginning of the legal wars.
The fight in the great legal wars was one of democracy and equality. Many of the new laws that were put forward were destroyed because they were called "un-American"
(although I'm sure the word American has become twisted into something not even close to it's original intent.)
The white hat lawyers had the best of intentions, but they did not adhere to the Corpolitical core desire. Therefore, they did not have the power to fight the black hats,
which were funded by big business. The white hats lost the war slightly before the end of the 20th century. Although there are battles still fought, the black hat lawyers have
escorted their Corpolitical masters to a position of power years ago; and, thanks to the legal efforts over the years, no one can stop them now. "No one is above the law".

Many books can and have been written on the battles for justice against the Corpolitical in this long and even bloody war. I highly recommend getting them from
your local library, but it is my belief that the legal war is over and the black hats have won. The dark time is falling upon us now as the last of the battle fires dwindle. The
Future Prophesized by Gibson is coming, fast. 15

The Counterculture Directional Chaos
The Native Americans had an idea of community. They had groups that regulated themselves and lived as a community. They weren't the only culture to do this, and they
had wars of their own as the desire for power was felt, yet there was always a kind of balance that occurred. Respect for others and all living things was vital, and to make it
you had to work together.

The Counterculture core belief:
"Personal Free Choice For All People."
They knew that the freedom to work together and the ability to have community was governed by choice. If someone hated their environment, they had to be able to leave.
If they had food, they wanted to be able to share it. The freedom to give and receive. They knew that the freedom they had, and what they actually had control over, came from
themselves. That's it. And to violate the personal freedom of others was the most hideous of crimes.
The founding fathers of the USA, knew that personal freedom and the preservation of it was VITAL to the peaceful and happy existence of any person, group,
or nation. Because of this they made the attempt with a document called "The Constitution" to make the direction and preservation of freedom clear.
Personal free choice is easy enough to check. You yourself can look into your life, and if you're free, you're set! However, if you look at your own life and see that you are a
victim of oppression, now is when you must act. Personal free choice can only be maintained if it is held for all. If it is not, then eventually all personal freedoms are bled
away, one drop at a time, until the body dies.
The key to personal free choice for all, is communication
In any conflict, the key to victory is the maintenance of communication and the dissemination of knowledge. Governments around the world used to regulate the mass
production of print, because they knew that this communication could give power to "undesirables." The nature of all political battles is, in essence, an information war. It
won't take long as you look down the aisles of history to see that this is true. Throughout all wars, all political movements, all corporate actions, even conflicts
down to a personal scale, hinge on knowledge and the communication of that knowledge. When you come to this realization, we become acutely aware that the statement of how
"Knowledge is power" is totally true. This vital knowledge and the need to communicate have been the battleground for most of civilized history. The flow and the nature of this
communication is what has given societies their culture, but what about the counterculture? 16
16 Page 17 18
13
Counterculture is the dirty, dark underworld. It is the seething pit of despair that most of mainstream culture fears. But what is it? What is this thing that has scared people
for so long? The answer to this can be found in our youth. Let's look at high schools for a moment. It is a society dedicated to learning and
the advancement of humans, run by an authoritative body that lays down specific rules and laws. Yet underneath that, the battle for status exists.
Within the school society there are different tribes: there are the "jocks" who live for sport and the physical; the rich kids who try like hell to be images and ideas fed to
them by modern media; the "smart" kids who are dedicated to achievement; and the criminal who reject current ideals to pursue dark paths to profit.
There are a few other fringe groups that have their own unique focuses, such as religion and cars, but they are usually subsets of a larger group. Within each of these
social tribes there exists the battle for supremacy, the quest to be part of the "in" crowd. They have winners and losers, but none of them want to be the outcasts of their tribe.
But what about the outcasts? What about the ones who didn't care about what their limited society thought, or worse tried to be a member and was not accepted?
Their reasons for their lack of acceptance are numerous. They could be small, weak, homosexual, clever, look too different, act too different, sound too different,
anything that makes them attract attention to themselves. These are the freaks, nerds, geeks, and losers. The ones that are the subject of ridicule by the greater tribes so they can
feel superior. These are the victims of abuse and humiliation that will leave them scarred for life. These are the people who turn back and grow proud of their independence. They
take the beatings from the jocks and spit blood back in their face, and then do everything in their power to be the extreme of everything that the rest of the tribes are not. These
people are The Counterculture.
Counterculture is the byproduct of any Corpolitical society. The members of counterculture are either those who chose not to follow the Lie of the social masses
mindset, or were forced into realization by rejection from mainstream society. We are the "ones not wanted" guilty of the crime of being "too different".

This social savagery carries over into life past the high school and the playground politics to become the office, neighborhood, and social politics of adults, yet the freaks
and weirdoes remain the victim of cultural hate. As our society continues, our young people are exposed to our ways of thought
and the problems that exist in society continue to get worse because of the core Corpolitical desire. Yet almost unbelievably, the answer to society's inhumanity man is
technology. The Cyberculture is what happens when technology is applied to the existing
counterculture and enables them to connect and interact with other "outcasts" allowing them to share ideas and thought between them. The miracle of the internet has
revolutionized communication and organization and for the first time in the history of the world that dark vaults of information that were made available only to the select few, has
been blown open for all to see. 17

Cyberculture is based on the freedom of ideas and expressions of counterculture and the integration of them with technology, without the laws, hate
and prejudices of mainstream society. 18

Part 1.3:
Becoming Cyberpunk
Once you realize that the modern Corpolitical media is only interested in farming you as a consumer Matrix style, then it becomes obvious that you must escape. There are
many different paths that a person can take to achieve individuality, but from here on in we deal with the Cyberpunk approach. I recommend that you investigate other methods of
individualism as you so choose.
The word Cyberpunk conjures a certain image. A hardened figure wearing black leather, with wisps of brightly colored hair hanging down over perpetually worn mirror
shades, as they sit on a rooftop of a corporate giant accessing data through spliced lines. This image is not totally inaccurate, but there is far more to it than that. How did
he come to be there? Is he a hacker, cracker, datajacker, spy, or a freeloader? Is he a criminal? Is he a threat? Is he violent? To answer these questions we have to take a look
at their origins, back when he was a corporate refugee. Let's say you are this person; this social outcast, this fugitive sheep. You're sick
of the crap that has been sold to you and you know there has to be something more. Your age is irrelevant, so is your sex, race, religion, and nationality. You are angry, scared and
confused. Now that you've realized that most everything that you believed in was a lie and you need to find some direction in your life. Now is a very dangerous time, you're not
shielded mentally, or spiritually, from the real dangers of our world. Religious sects pray on people in this state, as do political parties, and most recently corporations have come
up with their own identity training for their workers.
(It's pretty funny that the guy who started an organization called "KULT" is telling you this.)

The key that you must embrace in any attempt at self-realization is that no one can tell you who you are, or what should be. Your identity is discovered decided by you and
you alone, otherwise you will never find peace. The number of people who agree or disagree with you governs the concept of
right and wrong in our society. If your beliefs happen to fall in the majority, you're right! If not, you're wrong! This, of course, is crazy.
When you decide to reject society, or society rejects you, you feel lost, alone and outcast. This desolation and desperation can be maddening, and without the popular
opinion where do you get your moral values? Some would argue God, others would say its personal judgment, either way you are left to make your own decisions. So what's
next?
Get A Computer, GET ONLINE! 19
19 Page 20 21
16
This is absolutely vital to your survival as a person, and in your evolution as a Cyberpunk. The computer is your portal, your gateway, your direct link you your own
identity as we will discover. If you don't own one, get a friend to help you who knows what the hell is going on. Now you will notice that the second part to this is to get online.
A computer standing by itself is utterly pointless. It is the equivalent of having jet fighter and taxiing everywhere but never bothering to take off.
The Internet is the blood of the Cyberpunk. It is his life. Different facets and ideas of and about whatever his interests are all exist online. To the uninitiated it can appear to
be a chaotic jumble of symbols and ideas, but it's this chaos that gives the Internet its strength and provides the catalyst for self-discovery. This is the next stage for you, the
next step in discovering your identity--a "netsweat".
A netsweat is getting online and losing yourself in the chaos and ideas of the web in order to discover your true interests and beliefs.

Before then time of computers, people who became disillusioned with their environment often traveled in order to experience new things and define themselves as
people. This in our North American society has become impossible, so we are robbed of new experiences that can enable us to make up our own minds about who we are. Instead
we have the modern media TELLING us who we are, and dividing us endlessly in the force-fed pursuit of the elite ideal.
In native culture, a sweat was a kind of religious fast. You would stay in a small heated shelter, sweating and fasting until you had a vision. This was a deeply spiritual
experience and helped these people define themselves as beings. This is the basic concept behind the netsweat. When you have all of your illusions torn away by life and you have
to redefine yourself, the only alternative to travel today is a digital immersion. The chaos and freedom that is the Internet allows makes it possible for the first
time to experience anything we desire instantly though the screen. On the web we find new friends, ideas, ideas and concepts that are the modern visions that come to us. No
one can say after being heavily immersed in the web, that it hasn't drastically changed their perception, way of thinking, and their life! Despite what Luddite preachers and the
hate-mongering Corpolitical tells us, technology isn't our damnation, it's our salvation; age, sex, religion, skin color, place of birth, and sexual orientation become irrelevant in
Cyberspace. The only thing that shines through is the light of creativity and purity of thought. This is the modern wonder that is the Internet.

How does someone actually do a "netsweat"?
The process is simple. Get a computer, get online. From there you read, learn and experience whatever you want. Immerse yourself in ideas and concepts that you've
thought about, and new ones that you discover. 20
20 Page 21 22
17
How long do you do this for?
There is no set amount of time. As a matter of fact you could say that the learning never ends. However the purpose of a netsweat is to provide you with the experiences to
redefine yourself. Very quickly you will discover what YOU think is cool, and from there your new free identity is born. No one can tell you who you are, or what you are supposed
to be. The only one with that right is you, not me, not the media, not the Corpolitical, not your parents, not even God.

Why do this? What's the point?
The worst feeling in the world is the feeling of being lost. This feeling is so bad that the mind will try to numb itself very quickly to it. If this happens, you will become a
ghost, a sheep, a mindless person who just drifts about in their life until one day they wake up and realize that they have no idea who they are. This is why people have the
phenomenon in the 20th century of the "midlife crisis" where they flip out and do extreme, and some times dangerous things to themselves and other people. Marriages fall
apart, jobs are lost, and people suffer all because no one cried out that the emperor was naked until it was too late. Yet, where was this problem 100 years ago? Where was this
"crisis" before the Corpolitical media took over our thoughts? If you don't agree with what I say in this book that's fine, but for your own sake make sure that you believe in
something! You must develop values and beliefs on your own and you must define them, otherwise you will find yourself being exploited and manipulated by others for their own
benefit. The ideals of KULT may not be what you want, but make sure that you continue to seek out what it is that you do want, and not what others force on you. By doing this
you will help the counterculture directional chaos and move our society towards one based in choice and not profiteering

The Corpolitical media's function is to keep you distracted, disorganized and lost. This way the Corpolitical can use you as a resource to accomplish their own goals. 21

Part 2. 0
KULT

What KULT is NOT
KULT is not racist in any way. The very idea of racism is one of the mortal enemies of our organization. We believe in true blind equality of all people regardless of what they
look like or their ethnic background. The core beliefs of KULT emphasize the value of people for their minds, not their bodies or any other medieval concept.

KULT is not religious. We do not advocate ANY religion, but members are free to believe whatever they want, provided it doesn't infringe on the freedom of others in the
organization. Worship God, (or gods) dogs, frogs, or trees. We do not care. If you try to force you beliefs on others in any way, we meet with considerable resistance. Don't stress
out about "saving people" or spreading the truth, worry about yourself.
KULT is not a violent revolutionary organization. Violence is a horrible tool that should only be used when there are no other means available. KULT does not agree with
some other militant groups who believe that violence is the only way to get attention to the cause. Although we are very aggressive and sarcastic in our humor, KULT believes in
evolution; the evolution of our society through technology, communication, and freedom.
KULT does not worship Patient Zero. It's "KULT" not "Cult". Patient Zero is the person who is in charge of all policies and ideals laid out within the organization. Their
responsibility is to make sure that KULT grows stronger and its members have the support they need. The reasons for this I will explain later, but for now understand that it
is entirely possible for someone to be in KULT and dislike Patient Zero on a personal level.

KULT is not an Internet criminal "gang". KULT does not go out of its way to break the law. KULT follows the common sense ideas and ideals of communication, teaching,
and learning. We believe that all information should be free. We believe those individuals, religions, and Corpolitical structures that exploit and victimize people should
be stopped. KULT wants no more victims. If that makes us criminal, so be it.
KULT is not elitist. Although we are constantly frustrated by mainstream societies constant stupidity, we do not hate people or believe them stupid. In fact it could be said
that the opposite is true. We spread the Virus of free though to break people free from the Corpolitical mindset. The things we do, we do to benefit humanity, not to destroy it. 22
22 Page 23 24
19
What KULT IS
Trying to define exactly what KULT is like trying to define a living thing. There could be entire books written on separate and different sections of KULT; on the different
Klans and Strike Teams in KULT. So when I try to define the organization I do it in very general terms.

KULT is the enforcing body of the counterculture directional chaos.
It must be understood that action without direction is pointless. As it has happened over the last twenty years, different counterculture movements have risen and
fallen because of the lack of direction. KULT is the direction. It is the countercultural force that can bring the core beliefs of free choice into being by evolution. It is our goal to
taken the hearts and minds of the young; to hack the system one head at a time, until there are so many of us infiltrating the system that it has no choice but to change. These are the
tactics of socio-guerilla evolution. Through the understanding and blatant disregard of modern social binds we can shatter the old chains that keep people repressed.
But what does all this mean to the everyday person? Well, KULT is the walking talking living nightmare of the Corpolitical. We are the sworn enemy of injustice and
those who warp laws into justification for the corrupt. We are the freaks in your school, office, or church. We are the ones who do not sit idly by, or turn a blind eye to injustice in
any form. We are vigilantes, hackers, freeloaders, spies, and friends. We are sick of the current trend and are taking steps to see that the dark corporate future keeps a healthy
supply of rats in its walls. Whenever there is graffiti on the wall, or web page hacked, the goals and desires of KULT are being met.
This is not to say that we are an anarchistic or lawless group. We have a very definite structure and organization, while still maintaining personal freedom. The only
laws that we adhere to are the 10 KULT Standards. 23
23 Page 24 25
20
The 10 KULT Standards
These Standards are not laws, but rather codes of Conduct that the members of KULT choose to uphold. If members do not comply with these standards then they will
not remain compatible with KULT and will be deleted from the organization. Every organization must have guidelines in which to operate or there will be a total lack of
direction.
The KULT standards
#1 Be Kool
#2 Get Root
#3 Get Route
#4 Rip Warez
#5 Checksum
#6 Pirate
#7 Broadband
#8 BladeRun
#9 Scope
#10 Spread The Virus 24
24 Page 25 26
21
#1 Be Kool = To freejack is to have respect. It means to plug yourself into the freedom mindset. This means the lack of judgment of others, the lack of conflict,
and the lack of hate. This mindset embodies all of respect and solidarity that is so important to KULT as a whole. If someone does something
harmless but you find to be twisted and weird, if you Be Kool it wont matter. It enables you to look at all things and recognize that difference in
thought action and deed is not only important, but essential.

#2 Get Root = Know yourself. Reject all Corpolitical icons and ideas of what they say you are. This is vital to your survival as a person. Getting root means to
understand yourself, to really know who you are without anyone setting values or parameters on you. Until you have root on yourself you cannot
even hope to help anyone. You must define your own thoughts, ideals and beliefs for reasons I have stated earlier, if you do not then you will find
yourself becoming twisted and warped by the forces surrounding you. This is the pathway to lost. You MUST have a firm grasp of who you are, and
what your worth, until then you are useless.

#3 Get Route = Two essential questions you must ask yourself are:
#1-Where am I going? #2 -Who is coming with me?
NEVER GET THE ORDER MIXED UP!
You must get route and know the pathway that you yourself are going to take in order to reach your goals and achieve what you like. If you have no target then your sure not to hit
anything. Just because you have been rejected and beat upon by society and your environment doesn't give you the right to have no chosen path. If KULT was made up of
people who had no direction it would be useless!! KULT is not your life, KULT is here to HELP you in your life and make sure that the freedoms we value remain intact. You must
not let yourself be swayed from your chosen path, no matter what! Or again, this will be the pathway to lost. 25
25 Page 26 27
22
#4 Rip Warez = You must immerse yourself in information. You must take as much knowledge as you possibly can and claim it for your own. You must
read, learn, experience as much as you can in order to achieve strength.
Information = Knowledge = Power = Strength
The Corpolitical media is dedicated to distracting you in order to keep you calm placid and fat for slaughter. There is absolutely no reason why
you should ever be bored again! This doesn't mean that you have no down time, but it does mean that you have to make a constant effort to
rip the fleshbot software that already exists. You are KULT. As you grow stronger, KULT grows stronger.

#5 Checksum = Accept nothing, not even this book, without thinking about it heavily first. Look at things from all angles; make sure you question the source on
what they are really trying to say, and more importantly their reasons for saying it. Cross-reference it with other sources, and if it is something that
has two sides, like history for example, make sure that you seek out the truth and question what you receive into your mind. This prevents both
your software from becoming corrupt and this organization from becoming that which we set out to destroy.

#6 Pirate = Share everything that has no physical body. The good of humanity is far more significant than anyone's bank account, yet we have become so
corrupted by our desire for cash that people do not look at what money they have made, but instead it the money they haven't. This mentality is
what will make only the wealthy have access to software, music, ideas, stories, books, education, and information itself. KULT is dedicated to
making sure the lower castes in our feudal society have access to the same knowledge, strength, and power that the rich can purchase from the
Corpolitical robber barons. We must share information freely, and by any means necessary. 26
26 Page 27 28
23
#7 Broadband = Express yourself. Be it by writing, art, the clothing you wear, pirate radio, or the way you speak. Once you have root on yourself you can
show others that they too can be free. Be confident in yourself and your identity, the only reason why other people stare is out of desire. Every
corporate whore wants to have the confidence to stand on his own, yet he lives in terror of being noticed. This is not to say you have to go
extreme, but if you feel like dying you hair do it! Changing the way society thinks and views things has to be done slowly. But it will be
done. I would rather be judged by a man with a blue mohawk than a man with a toupee.

#8 Bladerun = Stop ideas and concepts that are destroying us as a community. Racism, bigotry, sexism, elitism and class-consciousness are destroying the efforts
of humanity to unite. These despicable concepts are not present on the web because the screen is blind, so as we are influenced by the standards and
ideals of the web we will bring them into practice in the physical realm. All it might take to stop hatred is for one person in a conversation to say,
"Whoa man, that's kind of messed up don't you think?" This statement is not an excuse to hate racists. People are not evil, concepts are evil and the
people who adhere to these concepts have a corrupted operating system. Once you show someone with bad software a better method of operation,
the have no reason not to change.
#9 Scope = Step away from the pack mentality and look what you can do as an individual. In times of war snipers are the most feared, yet they are only a
man with a gun the same as any other member of the infantry. The difference is in his tactics. We as a culture have to stop blindly charging
our problems and instead become snipers in our ways of thinking. This is all done by trying different angles, different ways of dealing with everyday
problems. What is the root of your problem? What is the real source of the trouble? Are you destroying the cause or just a symptom? We have to
become cultural snipers to eliminate the source of conflicts.

#10 Spread the Virus = This is not to say that that you should dedicate your life to KULT, nor is it that you should hand out flyers and annoy
everyone you know. But an educated person speaking to a group can be very powerful, and once people begin to realize their own
self-worth, they become less distracted and then the Virus can take hold. 27
27 Page 28 29
24
These are the standards that all KULT members MUST adhere to, not only to remain a part of KULT but also to remain free in their own thoughts and minds as
humans.
Humans are by their very nature pack animals. We've separated ourselves into tribes in so called primitive cultures, and, as we have seen, in the so-called civilized
cultures as well. Why is this? It is because as humans we crave contact with others. Loneliness is a splinter in our minds that compels us to seek out others. Unfortunately, it
is because of this that many people are manipulated and twisted to the will of others in order to avoid being abandoned. The "Peer Pressure" of youth becomes the "Power of
Association" as we become adults, and unfortunately plays an integral part in our self-esteem and image.
It must be understood that when a member of the counterculture community decides to take a stand within the organization of KULT they do not lose their identity.
Instead, they gain the direction and individuality that KULT insists upon. The very nature of the KULT Standards is such that mindless devotion and the mob mentality become
impossible. KULT is a gathering place, a church of like-minded INDIVIDUALS who have common interests and desires. Membership to the organization truly means different
things to different people. .
To be a member of KULT should not remove the desire to belong from the Human Psyche, but instead it allows us to use it to our advantage rather than the self-destructive
force it has become.
"Members of KULT are all devoted to the respect of others and, through solidarity, achieving the freedom of choice for all."

KULT is the attempt to organize a community whose passion and power are derived from their ability to act without instruction. We are able to vaguely categorize
chaos into a directional force. Rather than saying that KULT is an organization that fights systematically to destroy that which removes our freedom, it would be more accurate to
say that we are a "Freedom Riot" that develops its techniques as dynamically as our environment demands it. There is nothing that stops, restrains, or ties up KULT member's
actions, except the 10 KULT Standards. 28

KULT Terms and Terminology
Safe houses Some KULT members choose to set up actual physical locations for other KULT
members to go in times of crisis. This could be if unjust forces were pursuing them, or maybe they are simply traveling quietly and wish to not incur costs. Members who run
these locations are called Safe House Commanders, and give their house a name (like "Nemesis" for example); that information is then recorded in the KULT Nidus. There will
be more information on safe houses in the KULT Direct Action Manual. To access these houses you contact the House Commander. THEY HAVE SUPREME AUTHORITY AS
WHO AND WHO DOES NOT HAVE ACCESS.

Tombs Thanks to the ability of Global Positioning Systems, (GPS) members of KULT are
encouraged to create a cache of storable food, generic clothing, money, and information that can assist a fellow KULT member in a time of crisis. The Exact Grid Locations will
then be sent to Patient Zero and ONLY key KULT members, to distribute when dire circumstances require it. There will be more information on Tombs in the KULT Direct
Action Manual.

Data Havens Data Havens are secure FTP sites that only KULT members can access. These are
encrypted in case of physical seizer and when created are recorded on the KULT Nidus. Only registered members and guardians have access to this resource. There will be more
information on Tombs in the KULT Direct Action Manual.

The KULT Nidus The KULT Nidus was the brainchild of Gargoyle Apokruphos in the early days of
KULT. It is a semi-secure KULT resource which only KULT registered members are able to access. It is the private community of KULT, once you become a registered member
your information is removed from the public page and put into the private Nidus page.

The Masses This is everyone else. These are the people who have never heard of KULT or
perhaps have and don't like it. These ironically are the people that KULT fights hardest to protect. The uneducated aren't stupid, they are just uneducated, and it is KULT's role to
try and wake these people up from the media's drug slumber. 29
29 Page 30 31
26
Unregistered members
This is the first stage of Consciousness in the battle against the Corpolitical. These are folks who are learning what is going on around them. IN NO WAY should these new

people be looked down upon, in fact, they are the most valuable resource that KULT has. They are the future guardians and fighters for the organization.

Registered Members
These are the members of KULT who have committed themselves to the battle against the Corpolitical structure and their mind-controlling agents the media. In order for
KULT to stay alive we need to generate funds, the best source for this is from the KULT members themselves. When people register as a KULT member they are asked to either
Buy a piece of KULT clothing or send in a one-time fee of $15 US. This is to help cover the cost and work that is put into the management and coordination of KULT. The money
is also used as a legal defense fund for Guardians and registered members that become Corpolitical prisoners.
Once you are a registered member, your membership will be verifiable through a web interface. Your name will be removed from the public roster and moved to the
private Nidus roster. This way we protect our members through the shield of limited anonymity, and the armor of dedicated community. Only then, the real resources of
KULT can become available to you.
Only registered members have access to KULT resources.
The reason for this is purely for security. Any KULT member can show up at a KULT Safe house and say who they are, but the Safe House Commander has no way to
verify you are who you say you are, and therefore you pose a security risk. However this is not to say that they cannot let you have access as the Safe-house Commander has
SUPREME authority in this case. Also registered members are able request KULT Tomb Locations, Access KULT Data-havens, and access the secure KULT Nidus resource. It
should be stated that whoever creates these havens could give access to whomever they choose, but we provide a layer of security for them if they so wish. 30
30 Page 31 32
27
Guardians (GDN)
KULT Guardians are the people who will take over and form their own movements if the organization of KULT is ever attacked and "destroyed". The Guardians
are the HARDCORE members of KULT. For them KULT is a lifestyle. These people cannot have a deeper commitment to the cause. To become a Guardian the must endure
"The Long Walk" in the Nidus. The long walk is a weeklong question period where all Registered KULT Members and Guardians ask the potential Guardian questions on all
manner of things. After 7 days, the feelings of existing Guardians are known, and if all the criteria of the Guardians Klan have been met, that they MAY become Guardians. To
be a Guardian involves a deep level of personal commitment to KULT. It is a title that signifies their devotion.

GUARDIANS DO NOT HAVE ANY MORE OR LESS POWER THAN ANY OTHER REGISTERD MEMBER

Strike Teams (ST) The first official Strike team in KULT was Team WOE. A strike team is a
gathering of KULT members from different Klans who choose to combine their efforts and fight as a section. These radical cells are an extremely powerful tool to KULT and
provide local support for individual KULT members. If KULT members have a strike team they wish to register they must send an explanation of the Strike teams capabilities,
desired mission types, with primary and secondary contacts for the team to Patient Zero. There will be more information on Strike teams in the KULT Direct Action Manual.

Pharaoh The KULT Pharaoh is in charge of the KULT web site code and all KULT data on
the Nidus site. He is THE technical contact for KULT and Patient Zero's right hand man. Any and all technical questions regarding the web sites should be directed to the KULT
Pharaoh. He works WITH Patient Zero and FOR KULT. He has proven his loyalty to KULT and has taken on a huge responsibility; because of this, he has been somewhat
relieved from the other responsibilities of his Klan. The Pharaoh is chosen by Patient Zero and ONLY Patient Zero or the Pharaoh himself can remove him from his post. 31
31 Page 32 33
28
Patient Zero Patient Zero is the only KULT member without a Klan. He is the hub that
connects all KULT activity and sanctions KULT tasks. He has the absolute FINAL WORD in all KULT matters. The reason for this is purely for speed. The world we live in
now becomes so tangled with red tape that nothing is ever accomplished. In order for any system to be effective there has to be 1 person in charge, one person to make the calls and
choose direction. This is the role of Patient Zero His goal is to ensure that all KULT members remain protected at all costs; he is the only one who can ultimately be held
responsible for any KULT actions. No matter what, Patient Zero must maintain the security and anonymity of KULT members.
I, Sean Kennedy The Fuckin' Man am the first Patient Zero in KULT, but I will not be the last. It is every Patient Zero's responsibility to post fanatically to the KULT site
and maintain knowledge of all KULT actions. He must have a successor picked in case of tragedy and let that replacement be known. Being Patient Zero is a life-altering task, and
requires placing KULT above all other things. When I can no longer do my job, I will hand the job off to someone who can. 32

Klan Gargoyle
I am KULT's senses. I keep KULT on the bleeding edge of all knowledge.
Without me, KULT would be deaf, blind and defenseless against the enemies of freedom.
Sister Klans Decker, Houngan, Nomad

In Neal Stephenson's landmark book Snowcrash the Gargoyles were people who had permanently wired themselves into the web. Within the counterculture movement
there are those with dark wings who exist in permanent flight through the intricacies of the World Wide Web. These people look at their day and realize that more than half of
their time awake in a day is spent traveling through the web searching. Like drug addicts they find information and feel the surge and rush that only comes from screaming hot
knowledge, and after the high fades they are off soaring again looking for their next fix. The Gargoyle is the first to adapt to all new technology they are running with new
ideas and concepts daily. Although they may not master them, they are aware of new developments often before they are announced. Within KULT this Klan operates as a
vital information resource making sure that all members of KULT are able to have access to and knowledge of the very latest developments in the world.
At first this may seem like a very easy Klan to be a member of, I mean who really doesn't enjoy surfing the web? But for the Gargoyles it's much more than this. The
Internet isn't just some casual pastime for them; it is a vital part of who they are. Without the web access or even a computer near them they feel a significant void in their lives.
Their best friends are people that they have never met face to face. Through the comforting glow of their monitor they have mastered the search for knowledge; the
Flight, the Quest. There is within Klan Gargoyle a kind of subspecies called a Sentinel. These are
the members of the Klan who will be adopting the wearable computer as soon as it is realistic for them to do so and them hooking themselves into the Web on a semi-permanent
basis. A prime example of this can be seen in the Bruce Sterling Book Islands in the Net.
The Gargoyle relationship with the rest of KULT becomes obvious very quickly. They are KULT's organizations intelligence agency, and a force to be feared. The
Gargoyles are always watching. 34

Responsibilities Of The Gargoyles
Non-registered Gargoyles: The non-registered Gargoyles are an essential part of the KULT search engine. As many know it is impossible for a
program to find all the information on the web. Yet with a "murder" or Gargoyles sent out over the web we will find any
and all information. These Gargoyles must report new information to those with posting rights within the
organization, and thereby bring new knowledge to the page
Register Gargoyles: Registered Gargoyles are given automatic posting rights and have the responsibility to post to the page regularly (at least 2-3 time per
week). As information is requested through the KULT network it is a matter of personal pride as to how fast this information can be
retrieved. These people are the living embodiment of "It's not what you know it's when you knew it." Many of their posting stories can
and should come from their unregistered brethren

Guardian Gargoyles: Guardian Gargoyles need Psychological help. They dream of wet wiring and becoming purely digital entities to exist within the Web.
They are Project 25: 17 trying to escape the physical body. They are the first to Wet wire and the concept of being connected to the
KULT consciousness or even a full body conversion is a warm thought to them. Their responsibility is to seek out needed KULT
info and personnel.
#1. Post on the KULT web site EVERY DAY! No repeats, all fresh info. This is no small task, but it shows the level of commitment
needed by the Guardian Gargoyles.

Klan Decker
I am KULT's soul. I stop at nothing to gather information.
I manipulate the digital world to ensure KULT's existence. Without me KULT could not survive.

Sister Klans Ronin, Gargoyle, Nomad
Deckers are the digital versions of their Ronin brethren. Deckers ethereally invade spaces and locations to drain knowledge and learn the secrets that will make KULT
stronger. The Deckers are the very soul of KULT. They are vital to the existence of any online organization. Up until the time of KULT there was no one unifying term for all
that the Deckers encompass. The Deckers used to be known by the following classifications.

Hackers: Those who would find and exploit security flaws online and within code, and then decide upon a course of action after their discovery. They are masters of
security.
Crackers: These were individuals who would break the chains of copyright protection that keeps information from being free.

Phreakers: Phone gods. These are the people who have intimate knowledge of how the phone company works and of their methods of manipulation so to allow free
communication between entities.
Freeloaders: This is the free information merchant. Those who share any and all property that does not have a physical body.

Witch Hunters: These people track others through the web. That's it. They exist to hunt. They live to find 1 person that is their target.
Coders: The programmers who are so often overlooked but are the essence of all thing digital. 36
36 Page 37 38
33
All of these groups are now unified under the banner of the Decker. The term "Decker" comes from the Cyberpunk culture of people who would carry around
supercomputers the size of laptops that they would "neural jack" into and float through the virtual world. Here they are as the Ronin, carrying out missions and achieving
objectives. Before the time of KULT there was a sense of rivalry and resentment between the
different classes of Deckers, these techno-elite focused on their petty differences rather than realizing that it is only through unity that the Internet's freedom could be maintained
by them. Now with the unity that can be found within KULT the Deckers are in of the most feared forces on the web, fighting to ensure freedom for all.

Responsibilities Of The Deckers
Non-registered Deckers: These are the newbies to the Decker community. These are the young, excited, and hungry who are mad in their thirst for
knowledge. Their responsibility is simple. LEARN! These people will immerse themselves so deeply into the Decker world that
nosebleeds occur.
Registered Deckers: These Deckers are the functional digital cyber troops. Like Neo from The Matrix they lead double lives. In their daytime lives they have a
variety of roles and tasks, yet online they become something more. Their responsibility is to assist KULT in Special operations and
projects, digitally reinforcing the freedom we love.
Guardian Deckers: These people are the "Kyser Sosay" of "Setec Astronomy". To see these people in the street you might not even look at them twice. But
online they are the final and decisive action in the world of Cybernetic Force. Their names may not be known, in fact the really good Deckers
are totally unknown, but they all always present and ready to act.
#1 The responsibility of the Guardian Decker to KULT is to do whatever it takes to ensure that no information or virtually influenced hardware is beyond the
reach of the organization.
#2 All guardian Deckers are Responsible to have posting rights to the KULT Page and report all possible dangers and security threats to the KULT page for
all to see.
#3 To post and provide warez, cracks, and/ or information to the Decker sub sites of KULT making the KULT Decker resource more extensive.

#4 Create either a Safe House or a Data Haven. 37

Klan Ronin
I am KULT's strength. I carry KULT through physical action and through escape and evasion.
Without me, KULT has no physical power.
Sister Klans FleshTripper, Decker, Nomad

The Ronin is one of the Klans within KULT that inspires fear. The notion that there are people who are aware of laws and yet chose not to uphold them is frightening to
most. The very thought of people who choose to strike out at injustice based on their own chosen morals is considered psychotic.
The term Ronin means masterless samurai. They are the ones who believe that the future of freedom is going to be not a virtual fight but instead, to a certain degree, a
physical one. These "Street Samurai" are the agents who carry out direct action where it is needed as thought of by the 10 KULT Standards. Ronin are the agents of force. Force
of course meaning violence, the supreme authority from which all other authority is derived. This is why the countries such as the United States in the beginning of the 21st
century are called a "world power"; they have the greatest military might. The Ronin are a Klan that many fear in this way. Despite their humor and
tendency to laugh at their own intensity, the Ronin are in fact the ones who cut cables, break windows, sabotage equipment, and have convincing conversations with people.
Now, it must be stated that the Ronin are not just soldiers, they are in fact anyone who is willing to stand and physically strike out at injustices in the world; by spiking trees,
breaking bulldozers, rushing police lines, or even handcuffing themselves to objects or locations.
Ronin is not a Klan to be joined lightly. It is very easy to recognize the people who are members of this Klan by their speech, clothing, and mannerisms. They are the
members of the organization who carry out deeds and protect the other Klans when they are persecuted. They are not mindless soldiers or psychotic storm troopers, but rather a
legion of independent sharpshooters who work in tandem with each other. To stop soldiers you only need to destroy their command structure. The Ronin are not given
specific orders; instead KULT's goals are made known to them and then they are left to their own devices. To stop the Ronin you would have to destroy them all; every last one.
Now it is a very rare indeed that KULT would ever sanction direct action, and I should be stated that not all direct action is violence. There could be parcels that need to 38
38 Page 39 40
35
be delivered, or maybe something needs to be "taken care of". Ronin are entrusted with things in the real world that we value.
Responsibilities Of The Ronin
Non Registered Ronin: These Ronin are the angry--the Ronin who are not sure how to act but are willing to lend their support to the organization of KULT.
Their responsibilities are to learn as much as they can about the physical and natural guerilla tactics that the Cyberculture and
counterculture use.
Registered Ronin: These Ronin have established themselves as fighters against the corruption that physically exists all around them. Many of them are
members of other direct action organizations and are willing to show up for KULT events and rallies and be counted as loyal members of
Klan Ronin.

Guardian Ronin: They are the terror that lurks in the darkness. These people are the ones who have devoted themselves to the future survival of KULT no matter
what the cost. Guardian Ronin appear out of nowhere in a restaurant and hand you a disk, then vanish into thin air, or will meet you outside of an
airport with food and supplies when you're running from injustice. They have the deepest level of commitment to KULT and when the call goes
out, it is these Ronin who ask no questions, but simply act accordingly. They MUST:

#1 Create 3 KULT Tombs
#2 Create a Safe house whenever possible
#3 Carry out Physical KULT tasks. 39

The Ronin Bushido
As a Ronin I recognize that I will have to fight longer harder and more physically than any other Klan. I know that the hardships I will face will be many and the rewards few.
My reward will be the knowledge that I did not sit idly by while the freedoms of my friends and foes alike were taken away by the Corpolitical machine. I act only out of
precise plan and never from vengeance or petty conflict. I recognize that violence is a savage tool never to be used unless no other methods are left open, and if it is to be used
it must be decisive action with the minimum of force required to achieve the required result. My word and integrity are second to none. My conviction is absolute. Defeat is not
a Ronin word. I will achieve superiority over those against KULT by strength of mind body and spirit. As long as my body draws breath I will fight against injustice, and in
doing so make the world a better place. 40

Klan Houngan
I am KULT's mind. I take inspiration of imagination and turn it into a physical reality.
Without me KULT can not build its visions of the future.
Sister Klans Gargoyle, Prophet, Nomad

The worlds of Mecha, genetic engineering, robotics, Tesla science, forbidden knowledge and the occult are all the realm of the Houngan. They blend bleeding edge
technology and the pursuit of things that others would call unethical or even madness. Aleister Crowley, Albert Einstein, Stephen Hawking, and the fictional Dr. Frankenstein
were all Houngans. The term Houngan comes from the Haitian Islands. A Houngan is a voodoo priest.
This ties in with the idea that any technology significantly advanced would appear to the laymen as magic. Throughout history, the Houngans who were responsible for the
greatest accomplishments of mankind were ridiculed and treated like outcasts. Before, they would have been forced out of their homes, laughed at, and ridiculed to the point of
breaking. But now with the existence of the KULT organization they will be free to do the research that they enjoy, without being targeted as madmen or "unholy monsters."
Now this is not to say that KULT is a haven for crank science but we are open-minded enough to realize that not all concepts that people have passed by were exactly
garbage. Quite often the Corpolitical machine has repressed knowledge that would make certain sciences or technologies less productive, and those who considered them possible
or viable had no common ground to share this information with others. KULT is the solution. We provide an environment that is open to new ideas and
concepts without bias or corporate interest to cloud our judgment. Also the fact is that KULT members are a bunch of techno junkies that will do whatever it takes to bring the
dreams of "cool" tech to life. As KULT grows we are getting some amazing minds within the organization. We
rely on these minds to try and find ways of turning our hopes and dreams into a 0physical reality. Their Sister Klan, Prophet, is close with the Houngans because if a Prophet can
dream up a robot it will be the Houngans that build it. It is the Houngans that will build for us the dreams of the future. 41
41 Page 42 43
38
Responsibilities Of The Houngans
Non-registered Houngans: These Houngans spend their days absorbing info and formulating plans. They think of ways to do things like build
robotic limbs and then chase down their theories. Their key phrase is "How can I…?"

Registered Houngans: These are usually those who have a bit more experience in their chosen fields and have a clear idea what avenue it is that they want
to pursue. The Houngans usually have projects that they are working on in their spare time that they will be able to present to
the community and then bask in the glory of their creation. Their responsibility is to usually help the Guardian Houngans with their
master projects.

Guardian Houngans: These are madmen with a dream. They have an obsession. Every waking moment is dedicated to thinking of ways to create and work
on their master project. In their eyes the goal of their project is not only possible, it is just beyond their grasp. It will be a Houngan that
gives KULT Mecha. The Guardian Houngans responsibility is to actually have a project that they work on for the good of the
community instead of just for those who can afford it, and post updates about it once per week to the KULT page 42
42 Page 43 44
39
Klan Prophet
I am KULT's limitless imagination. I give KULT the vision, and stimulation that breaths life into the technology.
Without me KULT would have no hopes or dreams.

Sister Klans Houngan, Vampyre, Nomad

Quite often people within technical fields forget the contribution that artists make into our world. The television show Star Trek has motivated two generations of
Houngans to create technological marvels that were previously unthought of. They make the symbols and dreams that give the very organization its life. Without art humans are
nothing more than machines, but with art, KULT will be able to make machines more than human.
This is the reason why the name "Prophets" was chosen. They are the visionaries that foretell what the future will be. They hand out dreams and thoughts of a better future
as though it was effortless. Through music, sculptures, art, and writing they create concepts that motivate us forward to greatness.
What is the value of this Klan to KULT? What is music worth to you? What are your favorite movies worth to you? It is the artistic nature of these things that has given
many the strength to handle life. Throughout history it was the artists that were persecuted, and ridiculed for saying such crazy things as the world is round, and drawing
evil pictures of people flying. The prophets were the first outcasts and the council to kings. People would do well to remember that the Prophets were making pictures on
walls before any technology was known. They are the source of all dreams and inspiration. 43
43 Page 44 45
40
Responsibilities Of The Prophets
Non-Registered Prophets: These Prophets have visions and ideas but are not nearly as skilled or prolific as they would like to be. Quite often these
people are immersing themselves in the sensory explosion of the web.

Registered Prophets: These are Prophets that want to stand and be counted amongst the artists for KULT. Their responsibility is to spread the virus in the
most effective ways they know how. Their art reflects the ideas of the 10 KULT Standards and the counterculture directional chaos.

Guardian Prophets: These Prophets are the most devoted to spreading the virus of KULT to the masses. They will be the people who will take the writing
within these pages and make it something more by showing how it could be applied. The responsibility of Guardian Prophets is to
dedicate a large part of their art to spreading the Virus. This is a massive personal commitment and their sole responsibility. 44

Klan Vampyre
I am KULT's shadow. I exist to shade KULT in the darkness that is just out of reach.
I have made a friend of darkness, fear, and mortal terror. Without me, fear and mortal terror would be enemies.

Sister Klans Prophet, Cenobyte, Nomad
Klan Vampyre is one of the most misunderstood of all the Klans. Klan Vampyre is tied very closely to Klan Prophet for their love of art, and also to Klan Cenobyte for
their constant thirst for sensory excitement yet they are a culture unto themselves in the manner of their darkness.
Anyone who has ever spent time in the gothic culture would have a hard time explaining it to others. The culture has a dark atmosphere: dressing all in black and
drinking absinthe, all the while immersing themselves in poetry, the occult, and various other forms of "dark art". The essence of the gothic culture is their presence, and this is
how the Vampyres lend their strength to KULT. It is unavoidable to have a certain degree of fashion in any culture, but instead of
looking at what the modern media has sold to us, the Goth community has always provided us with an alternative; a true alternative that causes others to be uneasy. The
Vampyres by default are the teachers of all counterculture. They have already rejected all of the media icons and created their own society. All the Klans can learn from the
amazing strength of the Vampyres. The very nature of the Goth is the dark brooding creature that lurks. You would
have a hard time picking out a Nomad or a Decker in a crowd, but the very nature of the Vampyre makes them extremely noticeable. The Vampyres spit in the face of all the
society's norms. The Vampyres are the angels of KULT. They are the ambassadors who bring nightmares into the boardroom of the Corpolitical. They live within a reality that is
totally different from the regular perceived world, and it is this difference that lends beauty to their way of life.
The Vampyres are... and that is enough. 45
45 Page 46 47
42
Responsibilities Of The Vampyres
Non-Registered Vampyres: These are the fledglings that are just coming into the darkness. They're intoxicated with the very essence of the
gothic culture and how Klan Vampyre preserves it within KULT. Their responsibility is to focus on themselves and
tumble as far down the rabbit hole as they so choose.
Registered Vampyres: These Vampyres are at the bottom of the rabbit hole and are a presence within the gothic world. Their responsibility is to go to
functions in all their gothic splendor and bring the "coolness" of that genre to meetings and Sabbaths. They are a valued part of the
counterculture community and when they lend their support to any project the whole project changes for the better. Imagine 5 or 10
Vampyres picking up someone from an airport.
Guardian Vampires: These are the Goth Gods. They have chosen to lend their physical presence to the advancement of KULT in the most devoted way.
Their responsibility is to respond when asked to bring their dark presence wherever fellow Guardians, or Patient Zero needs it. They
are the messengers of KULT, the ambassadors of the underworld, and the nightmare of the Corpolitical.

#1 Respond when needed in all their dark glory as messengers.
#2 Set up a Safe House or Data Haven where possible. 46

Klan Cenobyte
I am KULT's sensory stimulation. I keep Give KULT the reason to fight for the freedoms that they enjoy.
Without me KULT would never enjoy the freedoms they have.
Sister Klans Vampyre, FleshTripper, Nomad

Each Klan in its own way is very extreme. The Klan Cenobyte embraces all of the adult desires, pleasures and desires that free people can enjoy. To them sex is not dirty,
drugs are not inherently evil, dancing is not a crime, and pleasure is not a sin. BUT, they are the first in line to destroy child pornography, victimization,
exploitation of innocents, and drug pushing. They live by the ideals of all things in moderation, including excess. This is the Klan of "choice".

Many would say, "How can any organization have a place for smut and drugs?"
KULT says "How can you not?"

Sex, Drugs, and Hedonism have been part of every culture since time began. There is nothing inherently wrong with these things, but it can become a problem when a
person loses their power of choice to addiction. If a young member in KULT wanted to experiment with drugs for whatever reason it would be best for them to talk with
someone who knows what they are talking about and then let that individual make a choice on their own. For the Cenobytes nothing is forbidden.
The sexual fashion with which the Cenobytes conduct themselves in may not be to the liking of others, but it is VITAL that they remain free to do as they choose, because
not long after they come for the Cenobytes, they will come for you. 47
47 Page 48 49
44
Responsibilities Of The Cenobytes
Non-registered Cenobytes: These are the people that perhaps are younger and are experimenting with things to discover who they are. Their

responsibility is to themselves and to be safe and in control of their journey.

Registered Cenobytes: This is the more hardcore fetish crowd. These are the consenting adults who wouldn't mind showing up at a Sabbath wearing
nothing but leather and taking three other consenting adult KULT members home. Their responsibility is to spread open-minded
thinking and generally let people know its ok to get drunk and fuck.

Guardian Cenobytes: These are the extreme of the extreme. They are in control of things that others would only think about in sweaty, dark moments. They
are all about the limits of pleasure and pain. They are demons to some and angels to others. Their responsibility to KULT is to
exercise the freedoms that KULT provides them at EVERY opportunity. They are the voice of reason to all on forbidden
pleasures.
#1 Go To KULT Functions whenever possible
#2 Set up 1 KULT Tomb
#3 set up either a Safe House or Data Haven 48

Klan FleshTripper
I am KULT's unbridled adrenaline. I show KULT what it is to be alive.
Without me there would be no physical passion.
Sister Klans Cenobyte, Ronin, Nomad

The physical rush that can be had by applying technology and physics together is staggering. No one can tell you this better than the Klan FleshTripper. The sport bikers,
the hog riders, mountain bikers, surfers, skiers, snowboarders, divers (both sea and sky) will all tell you that the drug of life, being at the brink of extinction, is second to none.
The gear heads, and surf bums are all outcast because their so-called "peers" do not understand the what they do. Their addiction and lifestyle is very similar to the Cenobyte
Klan yet there are a few VERY distinct differences. A FleshTripper's Sister Klan is Klan Cenobyte because their drug is the Zen of
movement. Physics in its purest form brings out the truth and spiritualism of motion. This is the hardest of all the Klans to try and put into words. For those who
understand no explanation is necessary, for those who do not, no explanation will suffice.
Zoom.

Responsibilities Of The FleshTrippers
Non-Register FleshTrippers: It is their responsibility to understand "Zoom."
Registered FleshTrippers: Teach others about "Zoom."
Guardian FleshTrippers: These are the folks who will die by the Zoom and are quite looking forward to it. Their responsibility is to lend the power
and knowledge of "Zoom" to KULT. They will understand. They also have to set up a Tomb by KULT Standards

#1 set up 5 Tombs in extreme locations (but still accessible) 49
49 Page 50 51
46
Klan Nomad
I am KULT's diversification. Without me KULT will overspecialize,
And breed in weakness.

Sister Klans All Klans

The Klan Nomad is the amalgamation of all of the other Klans, these are the people who dress like Ronin, think like Houngans and draw like Prophets. They are the ones who
wander the wasteland of the counterculture. They are all the Klans and yet they are none of them.
To think that this Klan is a cop-out is a lie, in a way the nomads are the hardest to detect and have the greatest chance of survival. The fact that they are so diversified
allows them to be a kind of binding influence on the rest of the Klans and prevents Klans from becoming isolated groups speaking only to themselves. The Nomads are like the
wind, in constant motion and a force to be reckoned with.

Responsibilities Of The Nomads
Non-Registered Nomads: These Nomads are in the process of developing multiple skills. They know that the true strength of the counterculture is the ability to communicate
between different Klans.
Registered Nomads: these nomads have the responsibility to post to the page 1 per week,
Guardian Nomads: These nomads have a responsibility to
#1 Set up a Tomb by KULT standers #2 Post to the page 3 times per week
#3 Set up a Safe-house (where possible) 50

The Future of KULT
The second book and the extension of this virus is the Direct Action Manual. It will have the tactics and details of the direct action that KULT members can take to
ensure the freedom of all.
In closing it must be said that if you do not agree with the ideas and methods of KULT that's fine, but don't try to stop us. No matter who you are, you should fear a
future without KULT rather than the future with it.
