“The Schultz Entanglement” To: Preservation Control. From: Preserver 235. Regarding linear flow interruption and correction, coordinates 10 – 24 – 1935. New York City. Honestly, this is a habit. I get it...sometimes...I give it and I don't. That settles it. Phi 1.3780. Don't ask me to go there. I don't want to. I still don't want him on the path. It’s no use to stage a riot. Keep him in control. My gilt-edged stuff and those dirty rats have tuned in...but that’s something that shouldn't be spoken about. The shooting is a bit wild, and that kind of shooting saved a man's life. No. You don’t scare me. My friends and I think I do a better job. Police are looking for you all over. No. No. And it is no. It is confused and it says no. A boy has never wept nor dashed a thousand kim. I see Preservers. Did you hear me? I don't know. I didn't even get a look. I don't know who can have done it. Anybody. The Baron says these things. I know what I am doing here with my collection of papers. It isn't worth a nickel to guys like you or me but to a collector it is worth a fortune. Beware the Preservers. It is priceless. I am going to turn it over to the DAC. Turn your backs to me. I want that G-note. Look out for Jimmy Valentine for he is an old pal of mine. Okay, I’m all through. I can't do another thing. You can't beat ’em. Police. I will settle the indictment. Come on, open the soap duckets. The chimney sweeps. Talk to the sword. Talk to The Sword. French-Canadian bean soup. I wanna pay. Let them leave me alone.

“Chak" Inna skyscraper looks like a main office bank acts like a bank, smells like a bank but is actually Preservation Control you use a Dremchak coin badge to unlock an elevator up to the twenty-third floor muzaked Beatles on the way up. Doors slide open into a dark space darker still the doors closing behind you. The area is lit by flickering lights come from over there so you move toward them. You come around a corner. It’s a towering wall of screens, television pictures beamed from a million security cameras, a million black mirror eyes, everywhere cams beamed from everywhere, the screens running off into either shadowed horizon and you go weak in the knees from the sheer awe of it all. And there’s a chair, seems small in front of the screens, but it’s one of them real serious jobs used by big business executives and it has its back to you. You can kinda see the top of a head appears to be a purplish tattered hood. You stop, the vibe suddenly wrong, the smell of burning plastic… On the screens a jet slams into a tower, a loop, same image over and over and over the jet slamming into the tower flames explode out debris rains and the jet slams into the tower. A not-human hand appears places a half-eaten burger onna console next to the chair plucks at some fries. Thing’s hand disappears, second later reappears, picks up a drink inna sweaty cola container slurps at some pop. And your wide, shell-shocked eyes are drawn back to the screens you watch the jet explode into the side of the tower one more fucking time and the creature in front of you chuckles softly.

"Four-Stage Cycle" The four-stage cycle of the Dremchak pathogen: In stage one the virus attached itself to our reality. In stage two Dremchak penetrated our dimension. This occurred during the Trinity Event in Alamogordo, New Mexico on July 16, 1945 at 05:29:45. They came in at Trinity you dumb Earth hicks. Trinity tore our dimensional reality, allowing the Dremchak virion to enter. Not that it matters. Narrowing down the ‘when’ of it all is futile. Given the extra-dimensional nature of the Dremchak pathogen, Time (which is really Space) is meaningless…once it’s in, it’s always been in. Stage three occurred when the Dremchak virus initiated replication, mutating and spawning its equally pathogenic progeny viruses. This stage is best characterized by Dremchak’s appalling use of the algorithm of suffering to mine human misery. Finally, in stage four, the pathogen will release, abandon this dimension, and escape into a neighbouring reality. We are currently find ourselves in stage three of the Dremchak infection.

NOTES REGARDING ‘THE SCHULTZ ENTANGLEMENT’
Words for ‘The Schultz Entanglement’ were edited from The Last Words of Dutch Schultz. Dutch Schultz (real name Arthur Flegenheimer), was a 1920’s New York City mob boss who was shot while urinating in the men’s room of a New Jersey bar on October 24, 1935. He lived for 24 hours after the bullet tore through him. During the hours before his death, a delirious Schultz gave a long ‘confession’ which has become the object of much speculation in the years since his death. Much of Schultz’s multi-million dollar fortune remains missing, and many believe the location of the money was hidden in his dying words. Others believe Schultz’s last words were a coded prophecy from a gangland oracle or a high modernist poem...and some believe Schultz was speaking of darker, more mysterious undercurrents.

NOTES REGARDING ‘GHOSTS’
The People’s Temple was an American cult led by the Reverend Jim Jones. In an event termed “revolutionary suicide” by Jones, on the night of November 18, 1978, 909 people (including 304 children) committed mass suicide in Jonestown, Guyana. A 44 minute cassette, which has come to be known as the ‘Death Tape’, partially documents the events of that horrifying evening. The track ‘Ghosts’ is a 10 minute soundscape and interpretation, in part excerpted from the Death Tape. This recording is not for the faint of heart, and it is worth repeating 304 children lost their lives in Jonestown.
