Macon Cornwall Grumfeld (An Idiot) fought tireslessly until his untimely death for his flimsy collection of theories of a pre civilization civilization. He was a simple man with enormous energy. He was against the then new theories of common origin. His inability to accept that his distant homeland might have been Africa fueled the enthusiasm for him to gather the immensley large and poorly researched "library" upon which was the foundation of his grand opus on the races and later a "foundation" for like minded flat-earthers . Dubord also noted that he "appointed himself an official collector of evidence " among his many questionable credentials.
Grumfelds hypothoseses generatated much amusement after his banishment from the halls of science. His debate with Elysius Dubord (both in thier elderly years) is remembered as a "fantastic moment of pure emotion coming from and inexplicable distance with an assuredly distorted message quick to be lost to noise. And heat." someone was overheard.
Dr. Martin Savage Pickles writes in his new forward to the re-issue of Elysius Dubord's A Mad Black Man"('s) critique of Grumfelds controversial book "A Tenable Theory Towards the Unpacking of the Lower Peoples (a closer inspections of the fairy folk in accordance with new discoveries on the borders of science)"...
Dubord's relentless attack is spectacular in form and execution. Grummy was on the ropes quick with his inability to provide evidence that the pre-ice age peoples lived in perfect little hobbles and cahorted about up on little wings. Grumfelds riduculously flawed exertation that the newly discovered pygmy tribes of the Dark Continent may somehow be the unholy desendeandts of those who were banished(?)- from a world of " Lightening bugs and reindeer dance", was crushed by the oncoming enslaught of scientist, and other tough guys most notably from the burgoning field of genetics as well as most of those(well a sizable chunk anyway of "those who aspire" to be genetecists. And of course people who hate fairies which is pretty much everyone else. Dubord brilliantly counters Grumfelds fairy theory with a series of which were described by one who knew someone who had actually read it as
- "an incredible display of on the spot desiscion- making with precise follow-through. A flawless performance of exceptional performing. Dubord's debate style was unstoppable" A breathless T. Bozzano confessed on live radio his sudden change of heart and was overdone with his renunciations of the fairy world and all that and it got rather tiring. rubbish really.
Of course all of this was played out in the eastern states by a network of whiteys who where sympathetic with Grumfelds work as long as he payed his bills and didn't push his fairy theories upon them as a group or individualy. Elysuis Dubord further fueled the fire when he smoothly schmoozed the black newspaper community to come to his aid in a sort of west coast alliance. Elysius was tired of fighten' in the trades and demanded a summit with Grumfeld. They met in the Dakota room at a Tippinoe Inn at an undisclosed location somwhere in the American midwest. They traveled by train accompanied by the A.S.P and the P.S.P.R. Most of what we know about the event comes from the incomplete transcript The original transcript is little more tha a few clarifications that Grumfeld makes before stumbling through his opening statements. The taperecorder was rumoured to be sabatoged by a suspect wearing a Ryan O'donnely Honky Tonk and Steak House. and the many contradictory versions being bandied about by opposing idealogues.
According to a report obtained by the Freedom of Information Act, attributed to a young Dewey Rose...
Although the loation was undisclosed, the room was overoccupied with an illustious crowd of anarchist, gnomes, and mormo adherants. The negro press was well represented and behaved civily compared to the merriweather gang in the back who continously harunged the Grumfeld supporters who were sitting in the section before Grumfelds podium. Any number of secret agents could be seen sneaking about. Many official looking goverment types stood by the exit. Several smartly dressed men synchronized thier fancy pocketwatches and made the crowd nervous. A man in an O'Donnley Honkytonk and Steakhouse uniform is arguing with one of the men who are operating the recording devices. Reporters from most of the nations fringe newspapers are seated around the perimeter more intrested in the potential dynamics of the polarized crowd. Several college age girls were handing out Choco literature. Grumfelds agitation is infectious and the crowd rolls in a paranoid sea.
The debate remained unsettled for many years with each faction usuing it for its own ends. The Negroe Press reported it as an event canceled at the last moment because of technical malfunctions. The rascist reported a victory throughout thier networks. The conspiratorialists accuse the League of Gloves of sabatoge and the Gnomes are strangley silent. The Merriweather crowd offer a comical interpretation whereas thier mere prescence caused the whole thing to implode.
Mazzistow Carringtons reputed status as an explorative and concise writer are well known throught out cultural studies circles as well as the myriad networks available to investigators of his talent. What Carrington brings to the discussion is more than professional, it is personal. Elysius Dubord was Mazzistow Carringtons second uncle on his mothers side. Carrington agrees with much of the apochrypahl evidence that there was actual punches thrown. From a letter to Richard Lancelyn Green from Mazzistow dated prior to Greens mysterious demise.
- My great aunt wept when we asked her of her brother Elysius. She spoke of her fathers unhappiness with him and the trouble he caused the family with his head strong ways. She explained how his conversion to the theories of Darwin greatly upset her mother and her pastor father. She tried to remain a supporting sister to Elysius but contact with him was sporadic at best as he moved about doing a series of odd jobs before finding himself working for the asossciated press offices in Santa Monica California. When asked about the incedent with Grumfeld my aunt looked puzzled. We eventually got her to remember recieveing a postcard from Elysius (from an undisclosed location) describing his exploits with crowd of ruffians. My great aunt said that my grandmother said that only blackmailers, extortionist and kidnappers hang out in undisclosed locations.
Mazzistow Carrington explored the idea of dislocated rage and autocatalytic attractors in one of his chapters on his epomonyous study of Poob Culture and Auto Colonialism. In this seminal work Carrington posited the theory that attitudes stripped of thier content still contain a kernal of thier potential form and applied this to how certain groups grow complacent whereas others cannot resist the urge to expand or migrate. Mazzistow worked out the early descriptions of his thoery while a park ranger in his early twenties. His multi disciplined treatise was rounded out by his encyclopediac knowledge of Post-Victorian European culture (with a special general-interest in the mystery novel genre and precise and particular studies of Arthur Conan Doyles seriptitious Sherlock Holmes) and his lifelong interest in secret societies and occult studies. Carringtons interpretation of the interpretation of the events surrounding the Dubord Grumsfeld fiasco was as Balthazar Buehb remarked to Piebald Magazine during an interview on the eve of the publication of a reminescent of the 1946 Adid/Addison affair rightly titled Who's your Stalin Now? (A little Stir in A-minor)...
- ...the forces acting upon the alpha layer are echoed vertically throughout the amorphous data-expanse and influence the incoming and reverberated information creating form seeking reflex loops that dominate further sequencing. This rising of forms speciates into a rudimentary binary of action/inaction further influencing hegomony while expanding similar sequenced information resulting in a correspondance and simultaneous emergence. As I have been told by Mazzistow Carrington himself, the formula insists on an ourobouras of mathematical and psycho reactive copraphagia. As above also below. His playful use of systems arcane and mathmatical rivet your mind while your toungue is teased with his endless denamount of gossip inciting sweets.
Apart from Carringtons studies of the phenomenon the subject is overwrought with mythical overtones that satisfy the thirst of the Pure-Race and Ancient Ones/Elohim/conspiracist. Double Stimes publishing oddity Reticent 27 investigated the event and came to the conclusion that the whole event was...
- ...a highly complicated facade engineered by Stimes Addison and Stimso Adid as an elaborate birthday present for Wilhemina Forkes(August 22). Adid had organized an intimate writers conferance that was to be held in an undisclosed location and they arrived the evening before the debate. The debate itself had been orchestrated by Addison and Adid over several years by creating a controversy and then shrewdly fueling the fires. Addison put his special touch on the whole affair by engaging the Mormo/Merriweather crowd. Trenchwheat confused the drunken revelers by changing all the room numbers to 27. William Flintrock had arrived a week before under the guise of a hired sound expert for the Debate and re-wired the Dakota Room and installed the flying owl that was to swoop down on the debaters but malfunctioned when the condensaton from the fog machine caused a short in the strobe light which caused the blackout. All participants who took part in the free hotel Vatican Breakfast also took part in an experimental mood destabilazer adminstered again by Trenchwheat through the symbolic use of pancakes that in concert with Flintrocks inaudible drone through the over amped sound system would soon feel an underscernable uneasiness and move closer to a state of ready agitation if not outright anger. Nobody saw it because of the blackout but the chameleon tried to swing from the stage curtains but fell into the section occupied by the racists. Addison later admitted that the riot was quite unexpected but was quite delighted with the sound of it all from the hotel bar.
Of Course the simplicity of this idea outraged most occultic investigtors and conspiratorialist alike. Even the Thule like Society of the Similar and its sympathetic factions took alarm with the unmasking of the event as an elaborate hoax and accuse Reticent 27 of distorting the debate and continually point out that the magazine mentioned nothing about the actual controversy cooly ignoring issue 17 dedicated exclusivley to fotrean proto-civilasations and crypto-zoologogy.
