Synergisms is a potentially significant category in which the total result is greater than the sum of the component effects. Most synergisms are entirely unknown.

TWO TRIBES

Ladies and gentlemen, let me present Frankie Goes To Hollywood — possibly the most important thing this side of the world.

You may pronounce this daily a thousand times over but the goddess of the eternal court of history will smile and tear to tatters the brief of the state prosecutor and the sentence of this court — for she acquits us.

Condemn me x 2

History will absolve

Singing this will be the day that I die

If your grandmother or any other member of your family should die whilst in the shelter put them outside but remember to tag them first for identification purposes x 1.

Go to war

Go to war SUNG

Go to war

Just think of it war breaks out and nobody turns up

If any member of the family should die whilst in the shelter put them outside but remember to tag them first for identification purposes

If any member of the family should die whilst in the shelter from contamination put them outside but remember to tag them first for identification purposes

If your grandmother or any other member of your family should die whilst in the shelter put them outside but remember to tag them first for identification purposes.

It’s enough to make you wonder sometimes if you’re on the right planet.

When you hear the air attack warning you and your family must take cover. Do not stay out of doors. If you are caught in the open lie down.

Let’s go

When two tribes go to war etc..

And now here is a reminder about fall out warnings.

When fall out is expected you will hear 3 bangs in short succession like this…

In some areas the warning may be given by means of 3 gongs like this…

Or you may hear 3 whistles

All these 3 types of sounds indicate that fall out is expected

When two tribes etc…

When you hear them you must stay in the safest position in the house.

Keep the doors shut.

Do not go outside until you are told to do so.

This is the all clear

When you hear this sound you can leave your home.

“We can only guess at the precise effect of the epidemic of alchoholism on the Soviet’s ability to fight. The men who fought their way across Europe, from the Volga to Berlin, were accompanied not by field kitchens (they were expected to look after their own cooking) but by field stills, and yet they won the war. On the other hand, German officers who fought against them have described occasions on which a Soviet unit was easily overcome because every man in it was drunk. A former lieutenant in the strategic Rocket Forces told Enders Wimbush, a Rand Corporate researcher: “The time for the Americans to attack would be New Years Eve, because everybody was drunk and there was no one on duty.” But then he paused and added, “New Years Eve wasn’t that much different from any other time.”

“Are we living in a land where sex and horrors are the new Gods.”

1. TWO TRIBES (annihilation)

2. WAR (hide yourself!)

3. TWO TRIBES (surrender)

“Whether the ban on the tedious ‘Relax’ was merited or not is another matter, but one rock musician who told me that the action was Stalinist was perhaps unfairly maligning the Soviet Union, where sex rears its head in the unlikeliest places. In “It Ain’t Necessarily So” from Porgy and Bess, the line “Little David was small, but oh my” was once translated as “Little David was impotent. Oh my!”

Along with ZTAS 3 this is number 3 in Zang Tuum Tumb’s underestimated Action Series “What flies into pieces is rubbish.”^[1]

Action Series Number Three is produced by TREVOR HORN, assisted by his Building Theam. (Steve Lipson, J.J.Jeczalik, Andy Richards).

The table shows the biological effects of a 5,000 megaton nuclear war, using one third of the superpower’s arsenals. A moderate exchange of warheads by the superpowers would lead to a “nuclear winter” and the possible extinction of the human species.

(table)

To those within this hall of mirrors, the arms race thus appears a logical, if unfortunate development, each side attempting to counter the new weapon, or the new build up, of the other. Step back, however, and the rationality of the process becomes far more elusive. What appears instead are two large bureaucracies, each of which is inefficient and wasteful, each of which inflates the “threat” posed by the other for its own internal purposes, each of which helps drain the economy of its own nation, but neither of which is especially impressive at doing the job assigned to it. They may lead us into war, but we shouldn’t expect either of them to fight it very well.”
