Episode notes

Thornly was writing a book about oswald three years before the kennedy assassination, which was a curiosity for a lot of people. He ends up in los angeles in late 64, 65, and starts editing what is considered probably the first libertarian news letter called the innovator. And so that was kind of a theme about the book. It was based upon thornly himself, other marines he knew during that period, including oswald.

In this episode, we chat with writer and historian Adam Gorightly on the life, work and ideas of Kerry Thornley, aka Omar Khayyam Ravenhurst or simply Lord Omar, Jesse Sump, the Grand Caliph of California, and Ho Chi Zen; author of Zenarchy and The Idle Warriors; co-founder of Discordianism and co-author of the Principia Discordia.

From AdamGorightly.com:
Adam Gorightly has been chronicling fringe culture for two decades. His articles have appeared in nearly every 'zine, underground magazine, counter-cultural publication, and conspiratorial website imaginable. Bringing a mischievous sense of Prankster-Discordianism to the zany world of fringe culture, once Gorightly connects his dots, readers are plunged into alternative universes which forever alter their view of 'reality.'
