Apocalypse Now

The End of the News, As We Know It


Our particular direction when we browse the web is news, and internet publications in general. We see a lot of good work done by well-funded and well-staffed news organizations, and we say "ho-hum". If they can't do a good job of what they do every day, then they should be ashamed. But, since what most of these news organizations do is what they do every day.. it's pretty boring stuff.

It's the independent publications we find most interesting. Not simply because all mad people seek others who share their loony view of the world, but because there is an awakening of thought and expression on the web, and we find it most exciting in the publishing area. Others find it in places that interest them, that is the beauty of it, we believe.

While we were reading news-type things, we found someone who is doing things in a completely different way, and this is one of the things that caught our eye:


10.13.95 *Exxon to start making loud underwater sounds off the coast of Santa Barbara to explore for oil. The sounds will be 240DB, every few seconds, round the clock for 45 days. This right in the middle of the gray whale migration in December...best quote: "Representatives of Exxon and the National Marine Fisheries Service insisted that the 'letter of authorization' issued by the agency would provide adequate protection for marine mammals." Maybe the whales can stuff it in their ears...

10.13.95 *More Apparitions of the Virgin, this time to Nancy Fowler in Conyers, Georgia. This is Friday the 13th... Mercury went direct today...

Corwyn, the mind behind the apocalypse, has found an extremely effective way to deliver news: chronologically. He also creates and provides astrological charts for selected important dates.

Consider, for a moment, the following different events:


9.27.95 *New Zealand's Mt. Ruapehu volcano blows spectacularly... last big eruption was in 1945.

9.22.95 *A 12-year-old shot by freeway sniper in Los Angeles.

9.21.95 *Pennsylvania drought forces water rationing... last week, authorities restricted water availability to New York city and northern New Jersey... from Virginia to Maine, low rainfall levels and low snowfall have put the Northeast in a drought condition... i can't remember this happening before...

9.20.95 *More squirrels are found with Bubonic Plague in the Angeles Forest, closer in near Tujunga...


The scientists within us and among us see these as separate, unrelated events,
and that is a logical thing to do. But if taken together, is there any wonder Corwyn calls his list of life an Apocalypse ?

What he does not attempt to join together is joined by circumstance, regardless. They are joined by concurrence, and by proximity. These things happen, and they happen on, under and around our planet.

Corwyn makes no pronouncements. He makes wisecracks, instead. We recommend at least a weekly dose of the Apocalypse, it seems to fill that gap that is left by the sanitized news that makes it through the fine seive of the Associated Mess.

Go see Corwyn at your leisure. He will be there. The Apocalypse is always open, the Apcalypse is always:

[NOW.]
