VLVL2 (15): A Show

[Dave Monroe]

   "It could have been handled with far fewer
personnel, but somebody--DL could guess who--had
determined to give the neighborhood a show.  In front
of Ditzah's garage, on the cement, conical black heaps
glowed, flared here and there into visible fire. 
Metal reels and plastic cores were scattered all over,
and besides all the unspooled film burning there was a
lot of paper, typed pages mostly, any scraps that
temporarily escaped, spinning in eddies from the
updraft, sent back into the flames by a sweeping crew.
 None of those observing the fires seemed to be
civilians ...." (VL, Ch. 15, p. 333)


p. 333 "...conical black heaps smoked, glowed, flared
here and there into visible fire..."   The scene in
which Vond burns the 24fps footage is quite horrible
--and extremely important. By destroying 24fps'
records of the Sixties, he clears the way for his
rewritten fascist version. With no evidence to prove
him wrong, who would dare to argue with "official"
history?
