Excerpt from:

TSOG: THE THING THAT ATE THE CONSTITUTION

by Robert Anton Wilson

 The Piss Police

And the Beast said,
"By their pee shall ye judge them,
And by your pee shall ye be judged,
And all shall be judged by their pee,
And in the snow shall their names be written."
--- Abdul Alhazred, The TSOGonomicon

How, how, how did we ever get ourselves in a predicament where an
Oriental-style despot controls American medicine and most doctors fear to
prescribe what they think best for their patients? Why, more than 200 years
after a war to liberate ourselves from a half-mad king, have we allowed our
lives and health to come under the rule of a totally mad Tsar? And has this
monstrous tumor destroyed the Constitution only "by accident," or did its
creators have that intent all along?

Well, here's my theory:

Most people think the TSOG (Tsarist Occupation Government) began its
infestation of America with Bushware 1.0, when he appointed a Tsar to
discombobulate our previously "demO-kratic form of gubment;" but Bush had a
long C.I.A. career behind him and the C.I.A. had a long, long Tsarist
history before they came out in the open with a public and blatant Tsar--a
functionary not endowed or permitted by any clause in our Constitution.

Actually, the TSOG began replacing representative democracy in the U.S. way
back in 1945, when Gen. Rheinhard Gehlen, Hitler's Chief of Soviet
Intelligence, surrendered to the U.S. Army after first prudently burying
several truckloads of "inside information" about the Soviet Union at a
secret location. (The Cold War began before World War II ended; they just
didn't bother to tell the serfs like you and me about it until 1947.)

Gehlen ranks as not only a master spy but a wizard negotiator. Within a
week, he got out of his Nazi uniform and into a U.S. Army General's uniform;
the U.S. intelligence services, in return, got the info about the Soviets,
including access to Gehlen's agents in the Soviet government--a group of
Mystical Tsarists who had infiltrated both the Red Army and the KGB.

You see, their leader and Gehlen's major "asset," General Andrei Vlassov,
had a fervent belief, not just in common or garden-variety Tsarism, but
especially in the "mystical Tsarism" espoused in the latter half of the 19th
Century by the anti-Semitic novelist Dostoyevsky and even more by Konstantin
Pobedonostsev, an advisor to two Tsars (Alexander III and Nicholas II).

Pobedonostsev, popularly called "The Grand Inquisitor" because of the vast
platoons of spies, snoops, agents provocateur and informers he unleashed
upon the Russian people, combined theological obsessions with reactionary
politics, always an explosive and nefarious mixture.

"Mystical Tsarism," a holy religion, or crazy superstition--as you will--has
two major tenets: (1) The Tsar is guided by God and can do no wrong, and (2)
Reason is "cold" and inhuman, faith is "warm" and human; therefore we should
ignore reason and guide ourselves by faith in the Tsar, our "Little Father."
I don't think any of Pobedonostsev's crew actually believed in the Tooth
Fairy, though.

Besides, Roman Catholics of the old school have similar attitudes, but
merely prefer a Pope to do their thinking for them instead of a Tsar, and
most of us consider them sane, but just "dumb."

Gen. Gehlen and Gen. Vlassov formed what became the Gehlenapparat, the CIA's
main source of info on Soviet affairs; Gehlen became the fulcrum of the
CIA's "Soviet penetration" sector, working under James Jesus Angleton, Chief
of Counter-Intelligence, breeder of prize orchids, lover of the arts, and a
devout Roman Catholic.

Since the U.S. government based its foreign policies on C.I.A. reports, and
the C.I.A. based its Soviet reports on Gehlen and some other former Nazis,
plus a crew of Mystical Tsarists, as filtered and interpreted by a Papist
intellectual, the U.S. government's ideas and actions became increasingly
"weird," bizarre and frightening, in the view of the rest of the world. The
results after 50 years seem very sad and very funny. In a nutshell, most of
the world thinks we've gone batshit crazy. "Tsarists and Nazis and spooks,
oh my!"

Although James Jesus Angleton was Gehlen's alleged supervisor, data
indicates that the Gehlenapparat engaged in many activities, including
kidnapping, extortion, murder, etc. about which Angleton either did not know
or devoutly did not want to know.

But James J. Angleton seems a pathological case of some sort himself; he
often hid his middle name because it revealed his half-Hispanic genes. An
exceptionally intelligent and sensitive student of modern literature while
at Yale, Angleton adored T.S. Eliot, Ezra Pound, Wallace Stevens, I.A.
Richards, e e cummings and other SuperStars of Modernism; he met most of
them personally. They collectively influenced Angleton's fascination with
multiple perspectives, labyrinthine ambiguity and the eternal uncertainty of
all inferences and "interpretations."

These modernist tendencies, which also appeared in science and philosophy at
the same time, blossomed into obsessions and, perhaps, raging madness when
Angleton systematically applied them to the spy-game. After all, modernism
really dawned with Wilde's "The Reality of Masks" and Yeats's hermetic
mystique that the world we know emerges from interactions of Mask,
Anti-Mask, Self, and Anti-Self: which may or may not fit all of us or all
the world but certainly fits the world of spooks and snoops that Angleton
created.

Another C.I.A. officer, Edward Petty, described Angleton as "a lone wolf"
and "a strange bird"; every other source I have found bluntly calls him
"paranoid." He suspected everybody else in the C.I.A., and in "our"
government generally, of being KGB moles, and operated with so much
modernist ambiguity and hidden trapdoors that, in Petty's words, "nobody
really knows" what plots he hatched most of the time. In short, he became as
esoteric as the poets he admired, and remade the C.I.A. and, increasingly,
our whole nation into a theatre of impenetrable mystery: a carnival Crazy
House, an infinity of mirrors, a Chinese puzzle with no solution...
