Black Sun Rising part 5; The Transition From Man To Farm Animal
I don’t remember exactly when I was formally introduced to him. I had seen him and Al Bielek in the clubs all the way back in ’89.
In their polyester ensembles complete with plaid high waters to show off their buster brown shoes they had stood out like “undercover” cops amongst the bikers, mobsters and freshly minted Wall Street slicksters that made up the usual crowd.
I was running security for a couple of strip clubs right across the street from Babylon Town Hall on Long Island.
Preston Nichols was a three hundred and fifty pound gelatinous blob, and Bielek looked like he was playing Stan Laurel in an old black and white movie. I was working the door that night and they both stopped right in front of me, something most people avoided when there wasn’t a cover charge.
They were having an animated conversation about music speaking with exaggerated self importance for what I took to be a couple of nerds on a whimsical midnight excursion to the wild side. For some reason it stuck in my mind. I remember Preston saying “well I really like U2,” like some important decision had just been reached.
In 1992, the very same strange man would come out with an even stranger book. The story woven by Preston Nichols “a former employee of Grumman” and resident of East Islip, along with his coauthor, Peter Moon, would assume cult status three books later.
They smoothly blend a powerful hallucinogenic out of the Brookhaven Lab, the aerospace industry, an old radar station at Montauk Point Long Island, and the invention of the vacuum and transistor tubes. Central to the narrative is the massive bombardment with oscillated microwaves of selected human beings in a specially built chair. The Montauk Chair enabled them to channel alternate realities. This was all based on the mathematics of John von Neumann.
There was Aleister Crowley, secret underground bases, Nazi occult science, Grays and time travel. Controlling this latter day Illuminatus Trilogy is a “sinister” cabal that is able to operate in alternate realities to manipulate this one.
