And here’s some more recent postings from the OLC think-tank…these guys must LOVE getting everybodt all worked up by spouting off like this. Which do you think is better? Ignoring it and hoping it will go away, or standing up to it and calling them out on their shit over-and-over? While it’s getting VERY old, I still believe that someone needs to step up and say ‹ fuck you, we don’t want your shit in our scene ›! Just as it’s their right to say what they want, it’s OUR RIGHT to tell them to take it out of our scene and go play it for some militia gathering that would be a more appropriate setting. So here’s their posts, as well as a response I left… Words of Wisdom from John OLC Posted by JOHN LOCKJAW OF THE ALMIGHTY ONE LIFE CREW on September 07, 1997 at 17:38:29: HI KIDS, ITS ME AGAIN AND SINCE I JUST RECENTLY FOUND OUT THAT THIS SITE EXISTED IVE DECIDED TO POST SHIT EVERYDAY UNTIL YOU ALL GO AWAY AND LISTEN TO MENUDO OR BUY OUR RECORD. ANYWAYS IF ANYONE HAS TOPICS FOR ME TO WRITE ON PUT THEM IN REPLYS AND ILL RESPOND, WHAT A GOOD WAY FOR US HARDCORE GUYS TO ALL GET ALONG(UNLESS YOURE AN EMO FAGGARIO WITH BIG PANTS). I THOUGHT ID START BY LISTING SOME LYRICS OFF THE NEW RECORD, SO HERE ARE THE LYRICS TO « BRIT PIG THE PRICE OF ROYALTY ». THIS SONG IS IN RESPONSE TO THE LACK OF ATTENTION SPENT ON THE TRAGIC PASSING OF MOTHER THERESA( A TRULY GOOD WOMAN AND FUTURE SAINT). HOW CAN THE MEDIA SPEND WEEKS DISCUSSING AND GOING ON OVER A DEAD BRITISH EX HOOKER WHO WAS NOTHING MORE THAN A TOOL FOR THE LIBERAL MEDIA. SO SHE HELD AN AIDS BABY, BIG DEAL! I LAUGED AT ONE ONCE DOES THAT MAKE ME FAMOUS?(WELL MAYBE) ANYWAYS HERE ARE THE LYRICS AND LET THE SHIT FLY AFTER THIS ONE. IF YOU THINK WE ARE ANTI MONARCHIES OR ENGLAND YOU ARE RIGHT, WE ONLY CARE ABOUT WHAT HAPPENS HERE AND WHAT HAPPENS TO OUR TAX MONEY WHICH IS RIPPED FROM OUR POCKETS ON A DAILY BASIS.

And Even More OLC!!! Posted by JOHN LOCKJAW AND MEAN STEVE OLC NIGGAS on September 06, 1997 at 20:38:20: ITS SO OBVIOUS THAT MOST OF THE HATERS ON THESE COMPUTERS ARE NOTHING MORE THAN 12 YEAR OLD ZITTY VEGAN FAGGARIOS WHO HAVE NOTHING BETTER TO DO THAN TO WASTE THEIR RECESS TIME TALKING ABOUT US. FIRST OF ALL THANKS, YOUR HATE HAS MADE US FAMOUS. EVERY KID WHO COMES ON HERE AND HAS NO IDEA WHO WE ARE HAS ONE LIFE CREW IN THEIR HEAD WHEN THEY LEAVE. YOU ARE WORTH MORE THAN ANY INTERVIEW, ANY VIDEO, ANY RELEASE. AS FAR AS US BEING A RACIST BAND, THATS JUST UP FOR YOU FAGGOT ASS HOMOS TO DECIDE FOR YOURSELVES. BUT HERES SOME FACTS: WE ARE NATIONALIST RIGHT WING CONSERVATIVE REPUBLICAN ASSHOLES. WE HATE ALL « ILLEGAL » ALIENS. WE BELIEVE THAT THE UNITED STATES IS A SACRED LAND THAT SHOULD NOT BE SPOILED BY THE WASTES WHO TRY TO CROSS OUR BORDERS. WE SHOULD POSITION THE UNITED STATES ARMED FORCES AROUND OUR BORDERS AND HAVE STANDING ORDERS TO SHOOT TO KILL ANY ILLEGAL, BUT SHOOT AT THE WOMEN AND CHILDREN FIRST. WE BELIEVE THAT NO ONE SHOULD CONSIDER RACE WHEN IT COMES TO DEALING WITH OTHERS. THATS WHAT THE LEFTIST COMMUNIST LIBERALS WANT YOU TO THINK, THIS PARAGRAPH WILL BE INCLUDED IN OUR UPCOMING RELEASE ON TOO DAMN HYPE RECORDS AND IT WILL BE AVAILABLE WORLDWIDE IN OCTOBER, SO LOOK OUT KIDS CRIME RIDDEN SOCIETY WAS ONLY THE BEGINNING!!! !!! CLEVELAND OCTOBER 1ST 1997 HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE FOR THE PEOPLE OF THIS COUNTRY TO REALIZE THAT WE MUST WORK TOGETHER TO SURVIVE. NOT ONE RACE OVER ANY OTHER BUT A SUSPENSION OF RACE BASED COMPARISONS. WE MUST LOOK AT EACH OTHER AS AMERICANS AND NOT AS RACES. THIS DOES NOT MEAN WE LOSE OUR PRIDE AS INDIVIDUALS, BUT IT GIVES US A CLEAR SENSE OF UNITY. TOGETHER WE CAN SMASH THE LIBERAL STRANGLEHOLD ON OUR FINANCES. THE LIBERALS AROUND US WOULD LOVE NOTHING BETTER THAN FOR US TO RECOGNIZE OUR RACIAL DIFFERENCES AND TO KEEP US SEPARATE. THEY REALIZE THAT A UNIFIED POPULATION IS THEIR DEMISE. WE HAVE TO TAKE THE COUNTRY BACK FROM THE LEFTIST BUREAUCRATS WHO THINK YOUR MONEY IS THEIRS. THIS IS ONE NATION, WE ARE ONE PEOPLE, WE HAVE ONE GOAL: TO TURN AMERICA INTO THE GREATEST MOST FORWARD THINKING NATION IN THE WORLD. THIS IS OUR FIGHT '97 ONE LIFE CREW SO KIDS, HERE IT IS, THIS IS WHAT WE BELIEVE IN. NOW WHAT CAN YOU SAY, NOTHING. ON THE RECORD YOU CAN EXPECT SONGS ABOUT ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION, WELFARE CHEATS, GHETTO BREEDERS, JESSIE JACKSON( THE POVERTY PIMP WHO PIMPS HIS RACE FOR MONEY), LOUIS FARAKHAN( AND THE UNITED STATES AND JEW HATING NATION OF ISLAM), AND WE ARE TAKING ON THE KLAN(YES KIDS WE ARE TAKING ON THE KLAN, THEY ARE NOTHING MORE THAN INBRED HILLBILLYS WITH WALMART CREDIT CARDS). SO WHAT UP NOW, YOU LEFTIST EMO FAGGOTS, WHAT ELSE CAN YOU SAY. FACE FACTS LOOSARIOS, WE ARE EQUAL OPPORTUNITY HATERS WHO CAN NOT STAND IGNORANCE AND ITS IMPACT ON THE UNITED STATES. FOR THE REAL HARDCORE KIDS WHO LIKE WHAT WE DO. MUCH RESPECT TO STAND UP FOR BELIEFS THAT ARE NOT TO POPULAR IN SOCIETY TODAY. BUT TIMES ARE CHANGING AND THESE BIG PANT WEARING HIPPIE WIGGERS WILL NOT RUIN THE SCENE THAT WE HELPED CREATE AND FIGHT TO MAINTAIN. NO LONGER CAN THESE KIDS TALK SHIT CAUSE THEY KNOW THEIR EMPTY THREATS AND BOYCOTTS FALL UPON DEAF EARS AND THE TRUE HARDCORE KIDS WILL TURN AND LAUGH AT EM. THANKS FOR YOUR TIME ONE LIFE CREW JOHN LOCKJAW MEAN STEVE RYDOG CHUBBY FRESH BLAG And Finally What I Think… This is what it’s all come down to, the state of HC in '97 - what the fuck? Of course, OLC are right, all of the controversy that they are so talented at intentionally causing brings them more attention than if they had their own publicity agent. So kudos to them and their special talent, and then right back at them with a big fuck off! OLC are not what HC is about, a bunch of shit-talking, right-wing, wanna-be tough guy, ignorant losers. If that is your definition of HC, you obviously failed HC 101. Not all HC needs to be based on a message, and there are so many great bands out there without any kind of message or agenda, but it IS NOT about hatred, violence, lies, racism, and right-wing quasi-fascism. It’s funny that OLC claim to be fighting ignorance in America, a statement which just goes to prove their vast ignorance. The politics they spew out are ridiculously inaccurate and unreasonable, and all of this homophobic, sexist, anti-immigrant garbage makes them sound like the perfect candidates for one of the fine militia organizations that they share their common beliefs with. So they respond by calling everyone ‹ emo fags ›…that’s the typical 2nd grade level response I’d expect from a bunch of testosterone-overload idiots living in their little Clevo hate-core bubble, with their 10 or 20 friends that share their idiotic beliefs. I also find it funny that the people showing support for their fucked-in-the-head views are mostly from the wanna-be-88-but-I-was-only-10 crew. I was there in 88, and well before if it matters, and most of the bands back then were fighting against sexism, homophobia, and racism, not contributing to it…at least by supporting OLC here, you show your true colors, spewing a bunch of hate-filled garbage from behind your computer. If you are a woman, non-caucasian, or open-minded, you should be stepping up to OLC with a big fuck-off, and tell them to stay in Clevo where obviously people are either too scared or apathetic to stand up to their BS…shit, Clevo still hasn’t progressed from Confront, the 88 version of ignorant tough-guy SxE that has grown into OLC. I’m sure their new LP will be another fountain of enlightenment, as ‹ Crime Ridden Society › was, which I will eagerly be looking forward to reviewing. And hey, I will be the first one to step up and book their damn show when and if they leave their little safety bubble in Clevo and come out west, because I’m really interested in how much of this crap people out here would be willing to take. As with most things in life, it’s easy to step away and ignore OLC, and just leave it for someone else while they continue to spread their ignorant, twisted, and harmful messages. But I’m from the HC school that taught that you should stand up to arrogant, fucked-up shit like this and tell them that this is a scene that won’t tolerate hatred like that. Sure, it is a scene that encompasses thousands of different views and beliefs, all of which people have the freedom to express, but when someone else’s freedom is going to harm others and fuck up this scene that some of us have invested so much of our lives in, then it is time to take a stand and say no more (ok, so that was cheesy, but still appropriate). If someone wants to talk about any of this rationally, I’d love to…if you want to skip using your brain and just want to call me an ‹ emo fag ›, you can skip it and just fuck right off, because we’ve all heard that crap 1000’s of times on here already, and it means NOTHING except that you are a cowardly loser talking shit from your keyboard. It’s no wonder so many kids only last a year or 2 in this scene, with so much BS going on. HC is joining hip-hop as the only music scenes bent on destroying themselves…congratulations! Personally, I can’t wait to hear the new LP, I’m sure it will quite thought-provoking…
