The Nova Police can be compared to apomorphine, a regulating instance that need not continue and has no intention of continuing after its work is done. Any man who is doing a job is working to make himself obsolete and that goes double for police.

Now look at the parasitic police of morphine. First they create a narcotic problem then they say that a permanent narcotics police is now necessary to deal with the problem of addiction. Addiction can be controlled by apomorphine and reduced to a minor health problem. The narcotics police know this and that is why they do not want to see apomorphine used in the treatment of drug addicts:

PLAN DRUG ADDICTION

Now you are asking me whether I want to perpetuate a narcotics problem and I say: "Protect the disease. Must be made criminal protecting society from the disease."

The problem scheduled in the United States the use of jail, former narcotics plan, addiction and crime for many years-Broad front "Care" of welfare agencies- Narcotics which antedate the use of drugs-The fact is noteworthy-48 stages-prisoner was delayed-has been separated-was required-

Addiction in some form is the basis-must be wholly addicts-Any voluntary capacity subversion of The Will Capital And Treasury Bank-Infection dedicated to traffic in exchange narcotics demonstrated a Typhoid Mary who will spread narcotics problem to the United Kingdom-Finally in view of the cure-cure of the social problem and as such dangerous to society-

Maintaining addict cancers to our profit-pernicious personal contact-Market increase-Release the Prosecutor to try any holes-Cut Up Fighting Drug Addiction by Malcolm Monroe Former Prosecutor, in Western World , October 1959.

As we have seen image is junk-When a patient loses a leg what has been damaged? — Obviously his image of himself-So he needs a shot of cooked down image — The hallucinogen drugs shift the scanning pattern of "reality" so that we see a different "reality"-There is no true or real "reality"- “‘Reality’ is simply a more or less constant scanning pattern — The scanning pattern we accept as ‘reality’ has been imposed by the controlling power on this planet, a power primarily oriented towards total control — In order to retain control they have moved to monopolize and deactivate the hallucinogen drugs by effecting noxious alterations on a molecular level –

The basic nova mechanism is very simple: Always create as many insoluble conflicts as possible and always aggravate existing conflicts-This is done by dumping life forms with incompatible conditions of existence on the same planet-There is of course nothing "wrong" about any given life form since "wrong" only has reference to conflicts with other life forms-The point is these forms should not be on the same planet-Their conditions of life are basically incompatible in present time form and it is precisely the work of the Nova Mob to see that they remain in present time form, to create and aggravate the conflicts that lead to the explosion of a planet that is to nova-At any given time recording devices fix the nature of absolute need and dictate the use of total weapons-Like this: Take two opposed pressure groups-Record the most violent and threatening statements of group one with regard to group two and play back to group two-Record the answer and take to back to group one-Back and forth between opposed pressure groups-This process is known as "feed back"-You can see it operating in any bar room quarrel-In any quarrel for that matter-Manipulated on a global scale feeds back nuclear war and nova-These conflicts are deliberately created and aggravated by nova criminals-The Nova Mob: "Sammy The Butcher," "Green Tony," "Iron Claws," "The Brown Artist," "Jacky Blue Note," "Limestone John," "Izzy The Push," "Hamburger Mary," "Paddy The Sting," "The Subliminal Kid," "The Blue Dinosaur," and "Mr. & Mrs. D," also known as "Mr. Bradly Mr. Martin" also known as "The Ugly Spirit" thought to be the leader of the mob-The Nova Mob-In all my experience as a police officer I have never seen such total fear and degradation on any planet-We intend to arrest these criminals and turn them over to the biological department for the indicated alterations-

Now you may well ask whether we can straighten out this mess to the satisfaction of any life forms involved and my answer is this — Your earth case must be processed by the Biological Courts — (admittedly in a deplorable condition at this time) — No sooner set up than immediately corrupted so that they convene every day in a different location like floating dice games, constantly swept away by stampeding forms all idiotically glorifying their stupid ways of life — most of them quite unworkable of course) — attempting to seduce the judges into Venusian sex practices, drug the court officials, and intimidate the entire audience chamber with the threat of nova — In all my experience as a police officer I have never seen such total fear of the indicated alterations on any planet — a thankless job you see and we only do it so it won't have to be done some place else under even more difficult circumstances —

The success of the nova mob depended on a blockade of the planet that allowed them to operate with impunity — This blockade was broken by partisan activity directed from the planet Saturn that cut the control lines of word and image laid down by the nova mob — So we moved in our agents and started to work keeping always in close touch with partisans — The selection of local personnel posed a most difficult problem — Frankly we found that most existing police agencies were hopelessly corrupt — The nova mob had seen to that — Paradoxically some of our best agents were recruited from the ranks of those who are called criminals on this planet — In many instances we had to use agents inexperienced in police work — These were of course casualties and fuck-ups — You must understand that an undercover agent witnesses the most execrable cruelties while he waits helpless to intervene, sometimes for many years, before he can make a definitive arrest — So it is no wonder that green officers occasionally slip control when they finally do move in for the arrest — This condition, known as `arrest fever,' can upset an entire operation — In one recent case, our man in Tangier suffered an attack of `arrest fever' and detained everyone on his view screen including some of our undercover men — He was transferred to paper work in another area -

Let me explain how we make an arrest — nova criminals are not three-dimensional organisms — (though they are quite definite organisms as we shall see) — but they need three-dimensional human agents to operate — The point at which the criminal controller intersects a three-dimensional human agent is known as `a coordinate point' — And if there is one thing that carries over from one human host to another and established identity of the controller it is habit : idiosyncracies, vices, food preferences — (we were able to trace Hamburger Mary through her fondness for peanut butter) — a gesture, a special look, that is to say the style of the controller — A chain smoker will always operate through chain smokers, an addict through addicts — Now a single controller can operate through thousands of human agents, but he must have a line of coordinate points — Some move on junk lines through addicts of the earth, others move on lines of certain sexual practices and so forth — It is only when we can block the controller out of all coordinate points available to him and flush him out from host cover that we can make a definitive arrest — Otherwise the criminal escapes to other coordinates —

We picked up our first coordinate points in London.

Fade out to a shabby hotel near Earl's Court in London. One of our agents is posing as a writer. He has written a so-called pornographic novel called Naked Lunch in which The Orgasm Death Gimmick is described. That was the bait. And they walked write in. A quick knock at the door and there It was. A green boy/girl from the sewage deltas of Venus. The colorless vampire creatures from a land of grass without mirrors. The agent shuddered in a light fever. "Arrest Fever." The Green Boy mistook this emotion as a tribute to his personal attractions preened himself and strutted round the room. This organism is only dangerous when directed by The Insect Brain Of Minraud. That night the agent sent in his report:
