The closest there was to a beat magazine (thought it could only be seen that way in retrospect) in the late 1940s and early ’50s was a slim, eccentric journal whose contributors moved among the bases of art, sex, and neuroticism…..Ginsberg’s first contribution to a magazine with a nationwide circulation appeared in Neurotica 6 (Spring 1950), by which time the magazine had adopted a furtive beat identity. Ginsberg’s brief "Song: Fie My Fum" (an early working of “Pull My Daisy”) was not likely to advance by much the editor’s avowed cause of describing "a neurotic society from the inside"; nevertheless, it was the right kind of verse for the venue, with its playful sexual content: "Say my oops, Ope my shell, Roll my bones, Ring my bell ..." The contributor’s note informed readers that "Allen Ginsberg recently recovered from a serious illness." (sic)….The longest and most serious contribution to 6 was "Report from the Asylum: Afterthoughts of a Shock Patient" by Carl Goy, the pseudonym of Ginsberg’s new friend in the Columbia PI, Carl Solomon...

Subject: Please support our call for an inquiry into the Groucho Club forum child pornography network
ReplyDeleteWe are writing to you as a person of conscience who cares about the welfare and wellbeing of abused children and are asking you to support an inquiry into one of the largest child pornography networks in UK history operating on The Groucho Clubs web site forum. The Groucho Club website forum was operating on such a huge scale with 42,348 members, 663,709 topics and 900,987 posts
The discovery was reported to the Metropolitan Police Service and to CEOP by award winning filmmaker and writer, Tyrone D Murphy who was investigating the clubs web site for chapter 13 of his book about the famous club.
The child pornographers were operating on the forum for almost a year and had thousands of posts made by child pornographers as late as September 2010. Much of the web pages and links were dedicated to photographs and videos of young children being made available for sex. The forum also had numerous other posts advertising videos and photography of Rape, Incest, Bestiality and the rape of young Muslim children.
There is a massive cover up currently in place as the evidence is being destroyed as we write this. The Groucho Club forum pages were deleted quietly without informing the Police so action may have been taken against the child pornographers. Management of the Groucho club are the legal owners of the website and have completely ignored requests for information about the child pornography ring
A recent quote by Managing Director Mr Matthew Hobbs in the Guardian newspaper stated that the forum was "abused by spammers "and he insisted that the problem arose "when we were switching servers from the old website" Clearly this was no simple spamming occurrence , it was a lengthy operation by a child pornography ring that were members of the Groucho Club forum and were posting gross and indecent material for almost a year unchallenged and unopposed.
Murphy, who won a libel action instigated against him by the Groucho Club has been writing a book about the Groucho Club for the past year and a half says "when you discover something so fundamentally wrong, so perverse you have a moral duty to put it right especially when the safety of children are concerned"
In order to find those responsible for destroying the evidence it is crucial that a full independent inquiry is carried out. We would therefore ask to search your conscience and to support our call for a full independent inquiry of the case and to hold the management of the Groucho club accountable
Please send an email to allwholisten@gmail.com and make a comment to support the call for an independent inquiry
Justice must not only be done it must be seen to be done
Thank you for your support
