WORLDWIDE MAD DEADLY COMMUNIST GANGSTER COMPUTER GOD
During the last weekend’s Manson memory fest I was hipped to the madness of Francis E. Dec Esq. I hadn’t been aware that Dec was the author of the bizarre filmette that I posted last Thursday titled Frankenstein Master-Race Radio Control. It now seems that everyone knew about Dec except me, but, thanks to Google, I’m making up for lost time. Wikipedia says of Dec Esq. …
“Francis E. Dec (January 6, 1926 – January 21, 1996) was a U.S. lawyer from Hempstead Village, New York, disbarred for fraud in 1959, and later known for the bizarre socio-political tracts of conspiracy theories he mass-mailed to the media, often denouncing a "Worldwide Mad Deadly Communist Gangster Computer God" mind-controlling mankind. Considered a paranoid schizophrenic of the influencing-machine delusion kind, he is often referred to as a "kook".
Not unlike Ed Wood, Dec later became a cult figure referenced in underground culture. He was the subject of a 1994 book chapter and a 1999 stage play; he also made his way into the folklores of the Discordians and the Church of the SubGenius. His rants have been reprinted in a 1983 issue of Robert Crumb's magazine Weirdo and circulated since 1986 from recordings by KROQ-FM host Doc Britton; they have been sampled in 1991 and 2004 by Psychic TV, in 2004 by Venetian Snares, and inspired a Coldcut album in 2005; they have been archived as outsider art by UbuWeb and WFMU.” Click here for much more.

The secret word is Tinfoil
