It's election eve 2000
and we are wondering if Hot Mont is out there analyzing this
election.
We gleaned
through his writings to see if anything we have will give us an
inkling as to Hot's perceptions. His strongest statement for this
time seems to give us the burning impression that he thought that
this millennium election, no matter how it went, was going to be the
beginning of the end.
His writings perfectly described the fiasco of the Clinton
Presidency and using that as a hallmark for his predictions, we
believe we are looking at (using Mont's words) "The Beginning of the
Fall of the Holier Than Thou Empire". He made several references to
the attitudes the oral minority of the country developed during the
Vietnam Conflict. It was (in his opinion) the take over without
firing a shot that Nikita Khrushchev blatantly guaranteed in 1961 at
a United Nations meeting. Paraphrasing one of Mont's lines (circa
early 1975):
"What we do to
ourselves today is more insidious than any modern people in
the world, we go against our natural tendencies in all aspects
of life." |

Twenty-five years ago he, of course, was speaking about our
natural tendency of being aggressive warring creatures, but it could
be applied to so many facets of life today. His dispassion for the
peace and love crowd would really come to fruition today, when the
anti-establishment of yesterday is now the embedded establishment of
today. But then again he realized this (excerpt taken from a
notebook hand written by Mont), "These worms that have affected our
way of life so effectively will one day be in charge. They are smart
enough to realize the changes have to be made from within the
system. And even though they talk about making the world better,
they are no different than the old warlords who they despise. Mark
my words, within twenty years these people will be in charge and
their methods will become as corrupt as the old guard is now and
they will fight harder than ever to maintain their status quo, even
if it eliminates our society. Personally I would rather go down
fighting than waste away from moral bankruptcy or being done in by
morally bankrupt in the future."
As I read some of Hot Mont's writing, I wonder if these are
truly inspired prognostications or if they are obvious ranting of a
madman. Either way they seem to be ringing true, let's hope we find
the rest so we can better determine the answer to this question.
Maybe he intended for things to work out this way, hooking us …then
letting us suffer the minimal knowledge while we hunt for his
answers, if they ever really existed.
