I was on a short hop to the State Capital last month armed with a set of totally erroneous directions on how to reach a certain destination. They were correct providing one was approaching the area from the west rather than from the south as I was. After I got that much figured out and was nearing the spot, the sheet of paper indicated that Exit #96 was the one I needed to take. Watching the signs along the interstate, I first saw Exit #95 and then, to my dismay, Exit #97. If I had applied traditional Movement logic to that situation, I'd have stayed on that interstate and would have long since gone off the west coast into the Pacific Ocean. (Or I could have gotten mad and quit.) Instead, I turned around and quickly found Exit #96 and arrived in time with twenty minutes to spare.
In one of his editorials in a 1966 issue of THE STORMTROOPER magazine, Commander Rockwell headlined, " Der Tag Approaches". Judging by national and world events of that time, as well as by his own actions and successes, that was not a bad assessment of the situation. But, within a year, he was dead and the race riots, etc., had abated. In short, the situation altered radically and practically instantaneously. Did the Movement take heed of this? Hardly. The philosophy of that day, as well I recall, was to just hold tight and when things got bad enough, the people would come to us. In other words, all we had to do was wait until Der Tag dawned over the planet. But what our dead leader, Commander Rockwell, had neglected to tell us was that Der Tag meant the optimum chance for us to DO IT under his strategy and according to his guidelines as they were originally formulated in 1960. And so that particular "Der Tag" came and went minus the right leader and appropriate action. We missed that exit.
By 1969 a new leader had announced himself literally to the world in letters a mile high and even that went unnoticed by a notoriously single-minded Movement. Like the lonely scientists here on earth who patiently and unceasingly send out signals into outer space and are prepared to receive signals from new forms of intelligence (new to us, that is), had anyone within the Movement been doing their job properly at that time, we'd have been able to afford ourselves of a crucial advantage in 1969 or 1970 which would have been oriented toward the 1980's and '90's rather than 1960. But Charles Manson was too "different", too "off the beaten path", to even bear noticing.
[Vol. XII, #4– Apr., 1983]
