Feral House Publisher and Author Adam Parfrey, 61, Dies
Friday, May 11, 2018
. . .
It is worthy of mentioning that CBS's original drama series Strange Angel, credited as being based on George Pendle's book Strange Angel: The Otherworldly Life of Rocket Scientist John Whiteside Parsons (Mariner Books, 2006), premiers on June 14, 2018. Jack Parsons was brought into modern popular culture first by Feral House. The first edition of Sex and Rockets: The Occult World of Jack Parsons by John Carter was published by Feral House in 1999, with an introduction by Robert Anton Wilson. The second edition appeared in 2005. Adam Parfrey shared Jack Parsons with America first.

Re: Drawing Lines Against Racism and Fascism

American Dream » 24 Feb 2018 11:28 wrote:Counter-Culture Fascism1. The discussion begins with the frightening and terrifying situation of the late Joe Ferguson, whose posthumous admiration of neo-Nazis, Charles Manson and Timothy McVeigh motivated his mass-murder/ suicide. It was while watching the recounting of the ghastly events of 9/11 that Mr. Emory absorbed the account of this smaller horror. Indeed, Ferguson’s psychological projection of his personality into a posthumous conception is, in certain respects, like the behavior of the 9/11 attackers. Like James Cagney, in the movie “White Heat”, the hijackers and Ferguson imagined that their fiery demise would imbue them with a combination of notoriety and physical transcendence. By disseminating a poisonous adulation of Manson and his ilk, the purveyors of counter-culture fascism, quite deliberately in most cases, set others on their course toward oblivion. The unmitigated evil propagated by Michael Moynihan, Boyd Rice, publishing guru Adam Parfrey and their fellow travelers is set forth in this program.
. . .
8. Feral House, the publisher of Lords of Chaos, distributes one of Vikernes’ CD’s. In this context, it is significant that Feral House owner Adam Parfrey is part of a counterculture, Social Darwinist/fascist milieu that overlaps both the alternative music and publishing fields.
. . .
Moreover, Feral House editor Adam Parfrey clearly wanted to publish a popular book on the strange universe of black metal rather than a political polemic. Nor does Moynihan himself fit easily into the more conventional definitions of fascism. LORDS OF CHAOS is best characterized as a palimpsest with the author’s own political ideology at work just below the surface of a text ostensibly devoted solely to analyzing an extremist musical sub-culture.”
(Idem.)
9. One of the points of action and association between Moynihan, and his publisher Adam Parfrey is the Abraxas Foundation, which united both of them with Satanist and fascist Boyd Rice. Abraxas is described by Moynihan as an ‘occultist-fascist think tank’—it is linked to the Church of Satan, about which more will be said later.
. . .
17. Next, the program sets forth the professional development of Adam Parfrey—a fellow in the Abraxas Foundation and the publisher of Lords of Chaos.
” . . . The new hip regime of mean was exemplified by the infamous Los Angeles Amok catalog. Amok Press’ bestseller Apocalypse Culture, a collection of rants, raves, conspiracy theories and aesthetic terrorist tracts, was another key text. Adam Parfrey, owner of Amok and later Feral House, first entered the scene in 1980 with IDEA, a southern California-based Re/Search-type journal about punk culture. He then moved to New York, where he met the art designer George Petros. . . .In 1984, Parfrey and Petros created Exit, a New York-based journal heavy on graphic design.”
(Ibid.; pp. 5-6.)
18. Far from benign and aloof, Parfrey’s literary efforts have served to disseminate the views and efforts of some of the very worst Nazis and fascists.
“Parfrey worked with Petros on the first three issues of Exit, before leaving to create Amok Press. Once a success de scandale, Exit’s increasing fascination with fascism doomed it to just six issues. Issue Five, for example, featured a particularly rancid piece of anti-Semitism entitled ‘The Execution of Carl Jung’, which was ‘conceived by George Petros’ with ‘text researched by Robert N. Taylor,’ a former paramilitary Minuteman leader turned racial Odinist. The final 1994 Exit included contributions from Michael Moynihan and James Mason, an American Nazi whose book Siege was published by Moynihan. While producing Exit, Petros also served as an editor at Seconds, an eclectic New York-based music magazine that Moynihan, Rice, and Parfrey regularly write for.”
. . .
22. Promoting and extolling Charles Manson, the Abraxas milieu came into contact with James Mason, among other members of the American Nazi Party.) “In the mid-1980’s, Adam Parfrey formed Amok Press, the precursor to Feral House, with Ken Swezey of the Amok catalog. Amok’s first book, Michael, was an English translation of Nazi Prpaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels’ sole novel. Parfrey’s next book, Apocalypse Culture was followed in 1988 by The Manson File, which was edited by Nikolas Schreck (the boyfriend of LaVey’s daughter Zeena) in collaboration with Boyd Rice and others. Rice regularly visited Manson, and even campaigned to get him released from jail through an Abraxas spin-off called the Friends of Justice.” (Idem.)
23. A pivot point in the development of the Abraxas Foundation’s professional relationship with members and alumni of the American Nazi Party was convicted murderer Perry ‘Red’ Warthan. Warthan catalyzed the relationship between ANP member James Mason and the Abraxas configuration. Among the ranks of the Nazis associated with the Abraxas milieu is Robert Heick, seen here in Nazi uniform with Abraxas/Moynihan/Parfrey colleague Boyd Rice: http://www.canuck.com/Srl/rice.html .)
