A Statement from Boyd Rice

This came originally from the unofficial Dagobert’s Revenge elist

On December 23rd, St. Dagobert’s Day, of 2003, Boyd Rice formally and absolutely dissolved the organization known as the ORDO LAPSIT EXILLIS, citing internal corruption of its purposes, goals and function by core members, namely Tracy Twyman and Brian Albert, who was never actually recognized as a legitimate member by most of us. The Order was never intended to serve as a business, moneymaking organization or a corporation, nor was it ever intended to serve as a vehicle for the self-aggrandizement or self-promotion of any single member, regardless of rank in the hierarchy of the Order.

Neither Mr. Rice nor those who have resigned their positions within the order, including myself, recognize the legitimacy of the current membership of the organization calling itself the ORDO LAPSIT EXILLIS, nor do we acknowledge the legitimacy of the use of the name “ORDO LAPSIT EXILLIS” as applied to any organization or order currently in existence and claiming service to God and the Grail.

Furthermore, it should be known that the title of Exalted Grand Master as proposed by Ms Twyman never held any legitimacy in the Order, nor did Ms. Twyman hold any such title at any time. The only title ever granted to Tracy Twyman was the spurious title of “Baroness Von Twyman” granted to her by Tom Weir AKA “Nicholas DeVere” of the so-called “Dragon Court.” This title was apparently so embarrassing that it was never used publicly.

Neither Rice nor any of the former members of the now-defunct OLE recognize any “Dragon Court” as having any legitimate claim to any crown, throne or aristocracy.

Furthermore, Rice has asked Ms. Twyman and Mr. Albert to cease and desist using any of his copyrighted material or intellectual property in print, on websites or in conjunction with DAGOBERT’S REVENGE or their Organization. This includes, but is not limited to, interviews conducted by Mr. Rice or with Mr. Rice, articles and editorials authored by Mr. Rice and any image, be it photographic or otherwise, of Mr. Rice.

Be it also known that any incidents of harassment perpetrated against Mr. Rice or the former members of the O.L.E. have been and are being documented for criminal and civil follow-ups.

Despite rumors to the contrary, Mr. Rice is still pursuing his Grail research and the inner circle of core members still continues to function as a self-supporting research and action team. There will be a new website and organization that will be fully sanctioned by Boyd Rice. Participation in it will be made available to those who seek to serve the Grail in earnest.

Finally, as an open inquiry to Tracy Twyman:

You have decided to distance yourself from Boyd Rice. Despite his repeated requests to remove all that is his intellectual property and copyrighted material from your websites, you have refused and failed to do so.

If you are going to grandstand and make an issue of your independence and your not needing to be associated with Boyd Rice, then why not show the courage of your convictions and distance yourself once and for all? You may do so by removing his material now.

P.S. Knowledge of the Grail doesn’t come with a “non-refundable fee” attached.

This statement was necessitated by Ms. Twyman’s refusal to comply with repeated requests to remove Rice’s writings etc from her various Pay-Per-View websites and out of Rice’s concern for people earnestly seeking association with the original OLE, as well as his colleagues and associates.

Beneath the Banner of the Black Sun,

K.S. Anthony
Boyd Rice

Hehe. I always enjoyed the magazine, and I have kinda regretted not seeking those people out when I was around Denver, but doesn't really look like I missed much.

you should see the ridiculousness that the NON list has become, if you haven't already. there are accusations and claims flying back and forth which are tremendously cutting and hurtful to boyd, i'm sure. to wit:

"boyd is a drunk! he tries to pick up girls for group sex!!! he dresses up like mussolini and has a bust of hitler in his house!"

this would be news or even of interest to someone who has followed boyd's career since the age of 14, as i have? i think tracy t feels as a woman scorned and is acting out.

that's just my take on the matter, though. boyd will be boyd.

Re:

What I find humorous is that anyone who has listened to Boyd Rice/NoN/etc would care?

It is also interesting that the bourgeois sensibilities immediately attack on a "moral" level. The same thing [info]keith418 mentions in Thelemic circles regarding Crowley, is being played out in real life against Boyd.

Since I drink, I like sex, I am at least half-way to being as "immoral" as Boyd right there...

Re:

precisely. after the initial flurry and parry of attack and counter-attack, the majority of the list settled down and began the act of not-caring. i will admit, the first time i heard of boyd's supposed 'debaucheries' it gave me a giggle--as a teenaged girl who liked not only his music and philosophies, but found him rather handsome as well. after hearing about his debaucheries for the three hundred and thirty third time, however, it is not only no longer interesting, but tiresome and banal to boot.

still there are those who insist on feeding the troll, sadly enough, and they will do.

why is it that the bourgeois will attack on a moral level? is it a sense that they are missing out on said 'debaucheries'? a jealousy? i can only understand it in those terms because anyone can do these 'lewd' things, it takes only the desire to act on what one feels.

being a neophyte as regards much of thelemic thought, i read keith's entries regularly with much interest but usually stay silent. if one wishes to follow a school of thought, i do not see the need to make that school of thought more palatable for others. what confuses me more is that people would say that they are thelemites and then proclaim a sort of distaste for, or a desire to change what they see as the more unseemly aspects of it.

it makes very little sense to me.

Re:

The reason that the bourgeois attacks on the moral level is summed up by the nature of the middle class. The middle class seeks stability above all else. Morals are one of the tools for enforcing the stability of the status quo. They attack hom on morality because they have nothing else. The middle class exists as this vapid wasteland of inconsequntiality between the working class and the aristocracy. Without stability, they would not exist.

Sorry, I am ranting a little, I am combatting illogic, hypocrisy and banality in a person who used to be a close friend -- and it is my fourth day without cigarettes.

I am probably going to read some Evola and Neitzsche tonight so as to be in a better mood.
