"I don't practice what I preach because I'm not the kind of person I'm
preaching to."
"Bob" in 'Newsweek'

"We believe the planet is being led to destruction by a race of inferior
creatures who place blind trust in their own culturally dictated
concept of "intelligence." Look, you guys, you know as well as I do...
they may be smart, but they don't have good sense."
--"Bob" to the Senate Subcommittee, 1956

These guys and gals were into the ALL PERVASIVE Conspiracy way before many others. Some of the things mentioned in this are ahead of their time for sure. Nothing beats a real HARDCOPY of this book though, and it's pretty cheap to pick up. A long time ago during correspondence with the author of this he had said something to the effect that while writing it or it writing itslef, that many of the concepts were off the wall, but that after it was done all sorts of obscure books and supporting evidences kept popping up SAYING IT WAS TRUE/On the right track.
This is a classic. There are a few more books after this one and a ridiculous amount of other stuff available.

Pity the poor human Earth Pink who comes looking for a SIMPLE, SHORT EXPLANATION of The Church of the SubGenius™, one that he or she can UNDERSTAND QUICKLY. If the Church could provide THAT, it would be bigger than Islam or Christianity by now -- and probably much, much worse.

A True SubGenius, however, understands EVERYTHING, INSTANTLY upon exposure to the Word or even just the Face of Dobbs.
We also offer several SLAQs and FAQs from various SubGeniuses who, over the years, did their very best to explain the unexplainable. ( agreed --- I could but not enough room )

BOOK REVIEW SAMPLE
Book Review -- The Book of the Subgenius

"The Book of the Subgenius" by "Bob" et al. Simon & Schuster

"Bob" wrote "The Book of the Subgenius" as a series of pamphlets during
the '50's and '60's, exposing what he'd learned about the conspiracy
"from the inside". He was a former high-level gov't intelligence and
enforcement agent. After leaving this dubious profession, he travelled
extensively and learned many things from Native American elders and
Oriental monks. In writing this book he had a little help from his
friends, in particular Ivan Stang.
He exposed many things which could have gotten him hung for treason, or
worse. So, in order to get away with doing what he did for as long as
possible, he employed heavy sarcasm and disguised his writings as the
{rantings of a lunatic. In order to read it you have to know how to
break the code, otherwise you could come to some very wild conclusions.
A few clues -- the UFO cult that he appears to proseletyse for is a big
satirical model of the "Lie" or "Con" (conspiracy). All of his urgings
to prepare for salvation via abduction by the "X-ists" are actually
irony-coded warnings not to cooperate with any attempts by the Lie to
assimilate us into submission. His posturing as a "Big Daddy" who alone
knows all is actually a tirade against those who make this claim in
earnest. "Bob" is not only the pseudonym of the author, but also
(depending on the context) a sort of catchall codeword for certain
metaphysical concepts relating to energy and consciousness.
Some notes on specific chapters -- "The UFO made me do it" is by far
the clearest and most straightforward section in the book. An early
chapter detailing "Bob"'s background provides information helpful to
breaking the code. A list of prophecies contains bogus events
interspersed with real ones, and the distinction is made by a difference
in typeface. Also in this list, all events are off by one year. The
"Interview with an Overman" is actually a warning against artificial
modification of human beings.
With all this in mind, get your fists around a copy of "The Book of the
Subgenius". You'll probably find it to be the best exposition around of
What's What and Why. Keep it in your chamber of excremeditation and
study it as if your life depended on it! It might well.".....

For those who really just don't get it at all:

: The Church of the SubGenius uses the "court jester" survival
: technique; if it's disguised as a foolish jest you can get away with stating
: the horrible facts and live to do it again tomorrow.
There's something really unique about the Way of the SubGenius. If there's
a Right-Handed Path and a Left-Handed Path, then the SubGenius follows the Pop-Fly-to-the-Center-Field Path. Every icon is sacred to the SubGenius and every icon must be smashed. Life is a contradiction and the SubGenius lives life to the fullest by training in absurd belief systems such as Secular-Pantheistic-Oxymoronic-Superstitious-Scepticism. It has been written: "Since religion and science are both equally valid, the answer
is ''Bob''."
This was hard for me to grasp at first, but then I noticed the little
disclaimer down at the bottom of the first page of _The_ _Book_ _of_
_the_ _SubGenius_. Right next to the FNORD, it says in fine print:
Sometimes communication must be made more complicated than
necessary in order to communicate certain dangerous truths.
Thus, the SubGenius sees the fallacy of Occam's Razor. Everything
is believable and everybody is right and nobody is wrong. If we all
pull the wool over our own eyes, then we won't have to spend our
lives living with horses like Jonathan Swift or tending our own
gardens like the Frenchman Voltaire.
Or kill me.
