AT 2.25 am. ON SUNDAY AUGUST 13TH 1989 CHRISTIAN FUNDAMENTALISTS RAN SHORT OF STRATEGY IN THEIR CAMPAIGN OF VICTIMISATION AGAINST THE SORCERER'S APPRENTICE AND FIREBOMBED THE RETAILSHOP WHERE YOU ARE NOW STANDING. YOU ARE NOW PARTICIPATING IN A PIECE OF OCCULT HISTORY.

THIS LAST DITCH ATTEMPT TO BRING DOWN THE S.A. WAS BASED ON THE RABID ASSUMPTION THAT IF THEY TOOK OUT THE BIGGEST AND MOST GENUINE OCCULT SUPPLIER THEY WOULD DRAMATICALLY RESTRICT AND SUPPRESS THE AVAILABILITY OF OCCULT MATERIALS AND INFORMATION. HAD THEY SUCCEEDED THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN RIGHT. IT IS TESTIMONY TO THE FORTITUDE, INTEGRITY AND COMMITTEDNESS OF EVERYONE AT THE SORCERER'S APPRENTICE THAT WE DID NOT ALLOW THIS TO HAPPEN AND THEREBY WE STALLED THEIR PLANS TO ENABLE YOU AND PEOPLE LIKE YOU TO CONTINUE TO EXERCISE THEIR FREEDOM OF BELIEF.

THE DEBT THAT OCCULTISTS EVERYWHERE OWE TO THE S.A. IN KEEPING OPEN THE GATES OF FREEDOM OF THOUGHT AND EXPRESSION WILL ONLY BE FULLY APPRECIATED BY THOSE WHO ARE WISE ENOUGH TO REALISE WHAT COULD HAVE HAPPENED. OUR RESPONSE TO THIS FIREBOMBING UNDERLINED YET AGAIN THAT THOSE WHO CONFUSE THE SORCERER'S APPRENTICE WITH SIMPLY BEING AN OCCULT SUPPLIER DO THEMSELVES AND US A GREAT INJUSTICE

THE FUNDAMENTALIST FANATICS BROKE INTO THE SHOP THROUGH THE FRONT DOOR BEHIND YOU; THEY IDENTIFIED THE SHELF ON THE RIGHT OF THE SHOP WHICH CONTAINED BOOKS ON PAGANISM / WITCHCRAFT AND FRENZEDLY HACKED AT IT TO VENT THEIR RAGE. THEY DID THE SAME WITH THE CROWLEY BOOKS ON YOUR LEFT. THEN THEY PILED ALL THE PAGAN BOOKS AND CROWLEY BOOKS IN THEMIDDLE OF THE FLOOR WHERE YOU ARE NOW STANDING AND SET THEM ALIGHT. NOTHING ELSE WAS TOUCHED AND NOTHING WAS TAKEN.

THERE IS NO DOUBT IN MY MIND WHATSOEVER THAT THIS INCIDENT WAS INCITED BY THE SCREENING OF ROGER COOK'S APPALLING PROGRAMME 'THE DEVIL'S WORK'. THIS CONTAINED THE WORST KIND OF TABLOID LIES AND MISREPRESENTATIONS AND WAS PUT TOGETHER BY THE DISHONOURABLE CHEATS IN THE COOK REPORT TEAM IN COLLABORATION WITH CHRISTIAN FUNDAMENTALISTS WHO HAD SPEARHEADED THE ANTI-OCCULT CAMPAIGN FOR THE PAST TWO YEARS AND PREVIOUSLY PROFESSED THEIR WISH TO CLOSE THE SORCERER'S APPRENTICE DOWN.

COOK WILL ETERNALLY HANG HIS HEAD IN SHAME FOR PERPETRATING THIS PROGRAMME WHICH WAS BASICALLY A COMPLETE FRAUD WHICH WAS SEEN BY OVER 12 MILLION VIEWERS AND SYNDICATED ABROAD TOO. HIS INVOLVEMENT WAS NOT NAEVE, NEITHER WAS IT MISGUIDED. THE COOK TEAM KNEW EXACTLY WHAT THEY WERE DOING AND THE ONLY MISJUDGEMENT THEY MADE WAS TO BELIEVE, IN THAT PREJUDICED WAY THAT ALWAYS MARKS THE IGNORANCE OF THE ARROGANT, THAT OCCULTISTS WERE ALL WORTHLESS ILLITERATE OUTCASTS AND DESERVED ALL THEY GOT. IF THAT WAS NOT THE CASE IT DID NOT MATTER BECAUSE EVERYONE ELSE THOUGHT THE SAME ANY WAY AND SUCH IDIOTS AS THOSE WHO INVOLVE THEMSELVES IN OCCULTISM WERE TOO THICK TO MOUNT A DEFENCE.

THE FIERCENESS AND HEAT OF THE FIRE CAN BE JUDGED FROM THE FACT THAT PERSPEX SECURITY SHEETING ROUND THE TILL AND THE ALARM UNIT ABOVE THE DOOR MELTED FROM REFLECTED HEAT ALONE. FIREMEN WERE AMAZED THAT SUCH A FIREBALL HAD BEEN CONTAINED IN SUCH A SMALL SPACE FOR SO LONG WITHOUT COMPLETELY GUTTING THE BUILDING. IT WAS AS IF A PROTECTIVE SHIELD HAD BEEN PUT AROUND THE FIRE

THOUGH THE SHOP WAS BADLY DAMAGED WE DID CONTINUE TO ASSIST CUSTOMERS OUT OF THE BACK DOOR OVER A MAKESHIFT TABLE AND REGULAR CLIENTS FELL IN WELL WITH THE WARTIME ATMOSPHERE. WE PRIDE OURSELVES THAT OUR MAIL ORDER SERVICE CONTINUED WITHOUT ONE JOT OF DELAY. WITHIN 7 WORKING DAYS THE SHOP WAS REGLAZED, REDECORATED, REFURBISHED AND RESTOCKED AND OPEN AGAIN TO OCCULTISTS FOR BROWSING.

YOU READING THIS SHOULD REALISE FROM ALL THIS ONE IMPORTANT THING: THE XTIAN FANATICS WHO FIREBOMBED US CHOSE THE S.A. AS TARGET FOR THEIR HATE BECAUSE WE ARE UP FRONT AND GET-ATTABLE. IN REALITY THEY WANTED TO BURN YOU AND PEOPLE LIKE YOU - AND STILL DO. THE PREMISES ABOVE HERE WERE ONCE FLATS. THESE FANATICS COULD HAVE QUITE EASILY MURDERED THE OCCUPANTS HAD THE FIRE NOT BEEN CAUGHT IN TIME. IT BEHOVES ALL OF US, INCLUDING YOU READING THIS, TO REALISE THE RESPONSIBILITY WE EACH HAVE TO ONE ANOTHER AND KEEP AWARE AND IN TOUCH TO PRESERVE THE SACRED TEACHINGS WHICH THEOCRACIES LIKE CHRISTIANITY HAVE ALWAYS TRIED TO SUPPRESS.
