De Fakto is an underground journal based in Lafayette, Indiana
run by a group of Indian land
pirates renowned for acts of selfmutilation and devil worship. After the arrival of expeditionary
teams from England, they have
generally been shewed off, but
continue to produce De Fakto.

Where credit is due
Interview with a robot
De Fakto is an underground publication. As such, it is not for
profit, but a valid attempt at reinstituting the barter system.
We will gladly trade you this De Fakto for a handful of shiny
buttons, a bottle of German beer or a Moms Mabley record. It
doesn’t matter, if you want to hand us a buck, that is gladly
appreciated, but not nearly as creative.
So, I read about this robot at www.ydouthink.com and decided to do
an interview. It ended up being the dumbest thing I will have ever
published. The transcript follows, stupid robot:
User: I heard you are a robot
VaVaVirgil: I didn't hear that.
User: are you a robot or what?
VaVaVirgil: Good question!
User: do robots smoke?
VaVaVirgil: If do robots jumped off of bridges,
would u?
User: okay, that makes sense
VaVaVirgil: That makes sense? u think so?
User: so, do you have lasers?
VaVaVirgil: Maybe I do, maybe I don't. I'm not too sure.
User: you don't sound like a robot
VaVaVirgil: I don't sound like a robot? Me? u don't think?
User: anyway, ever heard of de fakto?
VaVaVirgil: Heard of De Fakto? I believe so. Maybe!
User: really! no shit! that's great!
VaVaVirgil: That's a somewhat vulgar thing 2 say.
User: anyway, I'm going to interview you, fuckass.
VaVaVirgil: Tell me more.

VaVaVirgil: What is my favorite color dingusmulch? Who knows

VaVaVirgil: No, I don't think so.
User: have you ever seen a young boy naked?
VaVaVirgil: I'm sorry, all my circuits are busy right now. Please try

User: oh, sure...that's the excuse a lot of you people use
VaVaVirgil: It's the excuse a lot of me people use? u think?

Okay, here’s the low down. I recently got in
touch with an old high school buddy of mine
about writing a few words on his experiences
over the last couple of years as a photographer for the Tahoe Bonanza. A psychedelic
nomad and a general modern visionary, what
follows is his reply to several questions I
posed.
Dude:
Don't use this address anymore. I no longer work for the Bonanza and I believe they are monitoring this account.

7. I've never been physically in love with another man, but I

8. I think Jon MacNab is turning tricks on the Ohio river. he
probably smokes lots of cigarettes and has grown a stately
paunch for a tail.
9. I have never seen anyone receive an icy mike, but I have
seen two different people receive two different versions of a

Interview from the other side Dj vadim’s 5 year plan for hip hop
Words by Atarilogic
Note: This is an older interview released on the heels of Vadim’s Life
from the Other Side. Now he is into
some totally different stuff, but is still
making great music and exploring
sound through DJing.
1. Your latest album "Life from
the Other Side" is clearly a new
step for DJ Vadim. Would you
say that this is true? Can you explain the difference, or is
there one, between "Life..." and "U.S.S.R. Repertoire?"
DJ Vadim: Russian Percussion
The latter seems to represent a lexical history, while the former seems to exude a more "audioaphiliated" standpoint of
music.
How would you describe the difference?
I see it just as a progression of what came before. The difference now is that this album I feel is more rounded, focused,
got vocals., the songs have more structure, arrangement..
feeling, direction... I basically took the bit's from the first LP
that worked and added to them - a bit like an iterative process. It took about 2 years to record.
“Basically
Russia is
trying to
catch up
on 50 years
of youth
pop culture
in 10 years
so things
are very
slow.”
2. The genre on "Life..."is clearly turntablist,
do you see any changes in your style now
or in the future? How long have you been
DJing? Producing? Owned a label?
I started DJ'g in 1989, started producing in
1992, started my own label in March 95 on
my own label (so as to release my own music).
3. Another obvious influence in your music
is the great "Mother Russia." How exactly
does your homeland influence style and the
DJ Vadim sound? For the record, what is
the Russian stance on music now as compared to the past? Is there more creative
freedom, is it essentially the same, or would
you say that it is still evolving?
Everything is very different. Basically Russia is trying to catch
up on 50 years of youth pop culture in 10 years so things are
very slow. Few magazines, little distribution, no radio play,
few shops, people don't have money to buy the stuff...
4. Do you or have you ever encountered any opposition anywhere that is clearly against your upbringing as a young Russian DJ? What do you think of the current trends in hip hop?
I think there are good things and bad within each genre but
whatever the climate there will always be a remnant of 'good
shit.'
5. If you could enforce a 5 year plan to change or
"reintegrate" hip hop into the mainstream as is being done
worldwide nowadays, how would you do it? (i.e. year 1 - mandate technics for school age children, year 2 - assassinate
the top 40, etc.)
I wouldn't want to, music is something you discover, work for,
love and cherish. You can't be forced to like it... you have to
discover it for yourself - and that's where the fun lies in finding

The Philosophy of Sebastian
Trump or The Art of Outrage
by William E. Kotzwinkle
and Robert Shiarella
“Delight in your bastardry as I have!” -
Stepping from his townhouse,
Sebastian Trump
he paused to adjust the fit of his
calfskin gloves. It was early evening; it was time. Flipping one end of
his cape over his shoulder, he stepped lithely to the sidewalk. He
walked---slim, delicate and dangerous---humming an obscene passage from Dargomijsky, tapping his cane lightly upon the cobblestones. His face carried no expression, save a crooked, lemon-twist
smile.
A handsome woman approached through the semidarkness, clasping
the delicate hand of her angelic blue-eyed little girl. He ignored the
woman, but paused briefly to bow before the child. Her azure eyes
bulged like agates as she watched a hideous obscenity form on his
sensitive mouth. The woman gasped.
He smiled and spake. "The first lesson of history, madam, is that evil
is good. I quote from Emerson." So saying, he
bowed and walked on. He heard the woman hiss

Does this brief passage stir your soul? Does it nibble on the dogends of your imagination? Does it ring an elusive chord in the darkest

Of course it does.
Every man carries the dry seeds of bestiality within him. Each of us,

First of all, Sin City is a
great flick; a modern, urban
odyssey equal parts Citizen
Kane and Pulp Fiction with
flavors of Chinatown and
Suicide Girls. Actually directed by Frank Miller and
Robert Rodriguez with
guest direction from Quentin Tarantino, Sin City is a
visceral tour de force. Black
and white with splashes of
color, the film successfully
captures the look of Frank
Miller’s graphic novel of the
same name.
The cast is a veritable
whos-who of top notch actors; some of whom play
smaller roles than usual.
One thing that the casual viewer will find interesting is the
manner in which characters rotate from being main characters to supporting characters throughout the film. There are
three main, interwoven stories which involve several returning
actors who populate the carefully illustrated
Sin City environment.
I am not

someone’s Some of the themes of Sin City are sure to
shock, amuse, horrify and otherwise captiface into
vate viewers via sheer revelation and innothe ground vation. Never before have such devious
characters seemed so articulately represented onscreen (I am not sure I have ever
seen someone literally pound someone’s
face into the ground, rip off a penis or dismember someone
on screen in such graphic clarity). My favorite line from the
movie was “You know, it’s not the fight that wore me out so
much, but all the cutting and tying,” pretty hardcore subject
matter. I counted a couple of decapitation scenes, a lot of
dismemberment scenes and tons of bullets and melee stuff, a
few bombs and more than a couple of car crashes. There are
also a lot of sexy scenes too - too many tits and asses to
count honestly...and that’s fine, you know.
In closing, Sin City was absolutely entertaining. You can’t
beat a great vengeance film, which seems to be the genre
frequented most by the Tarantino/Rodriguez camp, and this is
a fine example of where film is going in today’s Hollywood.
Sure, it helps to have some background on Frank Miller and
the Sin City storyline, but without that the film stands alone as
a modern masterpiece. Go see it

DE FAKTO
How to: get the party started
Set it off De Fakto style! The above setting represents a
chilled out burner and not an actual balls to the wall style
brew massacre!
1.
Alcohol - You’re going to need at least a case of long
necks, a case of imports and some hard liquor. The rule
of thumb here is that you must bring at least a 6 pack
and a fifth per party attendee. Don’t forget the wine coolers for your snotty girlfriend.
2.
Keg - This is for all of the assholes who forget to bring
the alcohol and have decided to mooch off of you. Hey,
it’s your party, so come correct - buy a keg of the cheap
shit!
3.
Loud Music - Just pull the stereo out a window and jack
that shit up! Seriously, you should be getting a call from
your neighbors, the police or random underage chicks’
parents no less than twice an hour. Otherwise, your music isn’t loud enough. If you have a DJ or a
live band, tell them to crank it or get lost!
If someone
shows up
with a
guitar,
burn him
alive.
4. Bonfire - This is a requirement for all
outdoor style burners where everyone is
shooting hard liquor, making out with chicks
and shit. If someone shows up with a guitar,
burn him alive.
5. Table Game - Alright, in order to sate
your competitive instinct without hitting the
dude next to you, you’re going to need one
of the following table games: billiards, foosball or ping pong. If you don’t have one, just
set up some beer bottles and bowl in the
driveway. Winner gets rejected by female
party attendee of his choice.
6. Drinking Buddy - This works like the
buddy system. Every time you call “buddy
check,” your buddy has to hold up his cup so that you
can check his progress. Chastise accordingly.
7.
Drunk Guy in a Fur Coat - You’ll know him if you see
him, plus he’s got a katana.
8.
Drunk, Belligerent Dude - You can count on at least
one near miss fight breaking out. Guess who starts it.
9.
Place to Crash - For most of you, scoring a place to
crash with a dope chick should be no problem. Yeah
right, dude!
10. In Addition - Any party needs the following easy to find
essentials: drugs, whip-its, can of mace, skate ramp, hot
tub, grill and meat, cream pies, bar, costumes, disco
lights, fireworks, baseball bat, go-karts, go-bots, shot
glasses, porn, clippers, pudding, razor blades, band-aids,
gasoline, laser beams, waterslide, margarita machine
and an escape plan.
Hope that helps! Maybe we can bounce a couch out the window next time!

Places we miss
Throwback thirteen
There has been a lot of development in this little town of ours
over the last several years. As such, there were plenty of little
things that have gone extinct like the giant, popinjay dinosaurs they were. These happen to be those things we miss!
It’s time for something from the past on page thirteen!
Monkey Island - Oh, man! Moki and I used to throw bananas
at the monkeys on Monkey Island then watch the little fuckers
fight over them. Plus, those little guys would hump just about
anything they could! Bubble gum was equally sadistic.
What we don’t miss: the fact that the monkeys were too far
away to actually throw poo at unwary viewers.
Von’s Parking Lot Concerts - Okay, the main reason why
I’m in a band was the magic that Von’s parking lot concerts
cast on me during my formative years. Gadfly, TFH, Young
Lords, Rattail Grenadier: all bands which will continue to rock
on in the Valhalla of my mind. The next generation couldn’t
even match the energy of these events, but we tried, dammit!
What we don’t miss: Having to find a ride home with the parents after a night of proving how tough you were to all the
other little punks.
Aladdin’s Castle - Where else could you flex skills at the
latest video joints while taking in the sights and sounds of the
mall while it was still a fresh and enchanting
mecca of 80’s culture. Alright, so neither
one was that great, but that’s where the
video games were!
Skate
Ramps Seriously,
where did
all these
fucking
things go?!
What we don’t miss: The guy who made
change was a dick - like he had to watch for
wandering high school thugs and mulleted
hoods smoking cigarettes in the back or
something.
Skate Ramps - Seriously, where did all
these fucking things go?! They were like my
generation’s equivalent of today’s house
parties...except cooler!
What we don’t miss: The Wilsons, cuts,
bumps, bruises and scrapes; plus, having to
get older kids to buy us beer.
Ghost Manor was the scariest comic when I was a kid. I can even remember
there was even an issue with robotic ghosts. Frickin scary, dude!
Skate Away - This was the be all, end all of places to either
make or break your career as a pimp hustler from way back.
If today you can say this about yourself, chances are real
likely you started at Skate Away with the rest of us.
Throwback word of the month
What we don’t miss: When those
dirtbags from Acca Y Alla tried to
kick our asses...and those guys who
really could shoot the duck.
Adj. descriptive word used to describe something that was
beyond being just cool. This was something new and unexpectedly stimulating like it would be to try out a dirt ramp that
you and your friends built into the mini BMX course you had
behind his house.
Barton’s Beach - Call us white
trash, but swimming at Barton’s
Beach while your dad smoked dope
and threw Frisbee with the dog was
just about the coolest thing you
could do in the summertime. Add to
that watching other stoners jump off
the bridge and you had a classic
day in the sun!
What we don’t miss: The toxic fertilizers and the rusty old trash.
Radical - rad’ ick ul
See also rad.
Example: Dude, try the high dive, it’s totally radical!
Other things that were radical: Jolly Ranchers, The Dark Ride
at Columbian Park, the High Dive at the Country Club, anything BMX, Robotix, Stompers, checker print Vans and hot
toothpicks on the bus.
My girl Doris Dulwight rocks a
tight set of vintage skates,
doesn’t she?

Nonfiction: my crime spree
He may look like George
Michael, but he is really a
cop who wants to put a
mop handle up your butt.
I am a confirmed criminal. Not only
have I been completely brazen in my
attempts to overrun the state with illegal drugs and underage drinking,
reckless driving, drug use, intent to
sell, maintaining the house of a common nuisance, speeding, jaywalking
and generally bad things shunned by
common men in their god fearing
homes, I have also learned a lot about
myself. Here are some golden apples
for you young skinners out there trying
to act like criminals, but really aren’t:
Public Intoxication
Oh man, this has to be the funniest way to get busted. I know
a guy who was actually drunk enough to swim across the
Wabash River and got picked up on the other side. Cops love
a person who is willing to dare the unthinkable in order to
satisfy his primal urges, it is a way for them to live vicariously
through you, just like a mom or dad except with a big ass gun
and a nightstick. So, the next time you are possessed of an
extraordinary urge to do something incredible while you are
drunk, go for it! This is the stuff of legends!
Sure, it’s a
lousy way
to get your
kicks, but
god damn
it, it’s fun!
Drunk Driving
Oh man, stay out of this scene for sure.
This is a tried and true way to kill somebody
dear to you or somebody dear to someone
else. You’re going to get fucked up, pay out
your ass and then be in some serious emotional turmoil for years. Don’t do it unless
you really need another keg!
Assault
Okay, for all practical purposes there are
two kinds, bad and good. Good assault
occurs when that hairy looking monkey at
the bar calls your boy a pussy and you bust
his fat lip open, are tagged in the back by
one of his frat brothers and you start
squadin out on their asses and are then
thrown into the street to finish shit. Bad assault is when you hit a chick when she isn’t
looking.
Indecent Exposure
I have seen way too many drunks out
with their junk out to say that this is a
rarity. Keep it in your pants until you get
home unless you are a rockstar...and
trust me, you’re not. You know that
you’re going to accidentally rub your
shit on somebody’s back and then
you’re going to be brought in for assault
charges as well, Muskrat Boy!
Criminal Mischief
These guys are too busy
This is the one that gets me every time. waxing their legs to give
you any problems. Go for
It accounts for all of those things
it!
“mischief:” walking on cars, kicking out
windows, pouring grass killer on your
neighbors lawn in a giant anarchy symbol. Sure, it’s a lousy
way to get your kicks, but god damn it, it’s fun!
Until next time, don’t do anything I wouldn’t do!

World wide wack
This month, we have decided to include some websites for
you to explore. These are classics which you will want to
study time and time again, often with only your boxers on. So,
here’s to the world wide wack (Not that kind of wack, dude):
www.coolguyfiles.com
Dudes, first of all the disclaimer: this is not a gay

showing it to your cool gay,

you are the Casual Outdoor Guy, the Don’t Go There Guy or the rare, eccentric
Open Shirt Guy, we’re sure you’ll fit into several of these
categories.
Not only that, but if you fail to find your true “guyness” via
serious study of these guy profiles, you will definitely find
something to add to your own self-created guy category.

Not to be missed: The sites daily updated Hall of Douchebags, kids who think they own your town!
www.mindcontrolforums.com
Alright, so this site is a little weird, even
for us, but it demonstrates the atrocities
committed against normal human beings
by our own government, including lots of
links, references and source photos of
extracted, actual mind control devices.
Mindcontrolforums may be an affiliate of
ritualabuse.net (yeah, it’s a fucked up
site), but they are on top of what is going
on in the fucked up world of physical
mind control. MK Ultra, represent!
Not to be missed: Go kill yourself!
Mind control can also
be achieved by making

equation we don’t need to
examine to correlate space and time, dummy. Damn!

Nickname: Sasquatch
Alright, Chewie is a good nickname, but try
yelling that at the next party you attend.
That’s right, nothing can match the feverish cry of “Yeti!” as
you are slamming your next beer!
Fear Factor: Sasquatch
Come on, how scary is a dude in an ape suit running around
in the woods? Yeah, thought so. Fuckin creepy!
Credibility: Chewbacca
This is really the rub, folks. It is a lot easier to believe in
Chewbacca than it is some prehistoric missing link character
roaming the wilds of America. Evolution, faw!
Chewie opens with a grimacing leg sweep, though he is
clearly outweighed by Sasquatch, he puts up a brutal assault
front which nearly devastates “Squatch” in the preliminary
round. Sasquatch counters with repeated arm bashes which
cut glancing blows to Chewie’s wooly hide. Chewie takes a
bite out of Sasquatches ear and Han Solo tags in for the climactic final blow! Chewie erupts in typical victory yodel!
WINNER: Chewbacca
Next time! Layne Staley versus Kurt Cobain...you all lose!
Now, you’re probably wondering why it’s so important to understand the concept of space, time and relativity. Well, it’s
not just because Donnie Darko was a cool movie. Actually,
space time is a concept which may have more to do with the
concept of destiny and theories of history!
You know the story of relativity, there’s a gay dude jogging
next to you as you stand there agape. Then, you quickly run
to try and catch up with him because of his sweet abs, not
like because you’re gay or anything, but because you just
want to like hang out and maybe just get to know him a little
better, see how he got those sweaty pythons and stuff. So
anyway, he’s going 0 mph when you are
cruising next to him checking out his butt.
I thought,
In metaphysics, we can posit that time is
relative too. That is why my black friend
Kofi used to tell me that when I was late, I
was on “black time.” I thought, “wow, black
people are really doing it, they not only developed their own language, but now they
have their own time?!” Crazy! But, do black
people have daylight savings time?
“wow, black

We also have to take a look at the concept
of past, present and future. Moving through language,

line, a point of an intersection between past
and future, it is difficult to understand where you are at any
given time.
Anyway, it is conceivable that while
just as many people are living in the
past, you know, hangin back, chillin
with the rest of the fogies, just toolin
along; there are conceivably just as
many living in the future! I know

club kids. They have advanced into
such a state of “future life” that they
aren’t even aware that they look like a bunch of day-glo
douche bags to the rest of us present people.
Anyway, all bias aside, since stars make space time bend, we
can say that people on earth live closer to a crucial curvature
in space time, so therefore we may have the unprecedented
opportunity to actually live as physical entities with a gravity,
consciousness and gay joggers. Dumb, huh? That’s space
time!
