The Great Gap conspiracy

The Great Gap conspiracy

By Maddie...THANKS!!

This conspiracy was WAY to long to put it with the others but it was too good to not be a part of my page...So now, I present you with,
THE GREAT GAP CONSPIRACY...

We've all seen Gap ads around town and in the mags, where artists of our day are posing in white bread clothing, trying to suck us into the scam. Although some of you consider it a sell out, it's much more than that. The Gap is not just a clothing line. With its vast interests in other, equally execrable clothing conglomerates such as Banana Republic, the Gap is nothing less than... a front for global domintation.

In these turbulent times, the government is desperately searching for some type of population control in order to protect their vested clothing interests. If you control the way a person dresses, you control their minds. Radical clothes go hand in hand with radical thought, and thus, the Gap. Gap clothes have almost no style: basic colors, conservatively cut pants, sappy sweaters, soul-absorbing, "basic" white t-shirts and maybe if we're lucky, a horizontal stripe, or two. These clothes promote a straight, white, lame lifestyle, which is just how THEY want us to be.

The GAP is a present day incarnation of the secret clothing society that has existed throughout modern history, controlling an international flow of money, arms, drugs, and clothing; an elite core of powerful men who think that They are the ones who have the right to dress the planet. In fact, we can trace their activities back to World War II...

Hitler, for example, was outfitted by the same type of people who run the Gap. Where do you think the Nazis, from their depressed, ravaged, pre-war community, got the money for their snappy uniforms? It was channeled discreetly into Germany's corporate banking accounts by clothing kingpins in the United States. New uniforms meant an army, an army meant arms trade, and that meant a war, which, in turn, got America out of a crushing depression and established us as a world power.

The funding for WWII came primarily from Brown Brother's Haberdashery, a megalithic hat corporation. Brown Bros., which would later evolve into one of the holding companies that at one time probably held a major interest in the Gap, utilized the hat as their main method of clothing control. Men all looked the same in their identical hats, thereby eliminating visual individualism and putting a kind of metaphorical roof over free thought. Hats also made everyone's hair look bad, lowering self esteem. Those who rebelled against "hat head" were forced to do so with hair creams and oils, and the Brown Brothers Haberdashery just happened to have a monopoly on all hair care products produced at the time. It was socially unacceptable for women to wear fedoras, which was part of the scheme. Hatless women were kept in their place, and made to feel inferior. And of course, hats were always being lost, crushed, or left behind, so the clothing barrons were generating a tremendous inflow of cash from the sale of hats which the world didn't even NEED. The president, his foreign policy makers, business moguls and high ranking cabinet officials were part of an Old Boys Network that centered around clothing. Their families all held stock in Brown Brother's Haberdashery, and these Bigwigs moved from the clothing business into government office and back again into the rag trade, all the while creating policies and laws which conveniently furthered their plots of global clothing domination and financial gain.

Into this insidious scheme walked JFK, the first one to stand up to these clothing conspirators. He was a very stylish man, and when the Old Boys tried to initiate the young Senator into the fold, he defied Them. Have no illusions about the assassination of Kennedy: it was a plot perpetrated and carried out by The Gap. The reason? He didn't wear a hat. At his inauguration, he stood in front of the entire country, his hair blowing gloriously in the wind, waving in a new era of social integration, harmony, and full bodied, manageable hair. Thanks to Kennedy, we got rid of the hat. Unfortunately, he would later die for it.

The evidence is undeniable. Look at Oswald, The Gap's fall guy. Is it a coincidence that he was one of the most horribly dressed assassins to ever train a cross sight? You've seen the pictures of him, wearing a ratty blue V-neck sweater as the Dallas police lead him to the station. He was later shot dead by Jack Ruby, who of course was...wearing a hat. All of these little pieces fall into place. There is no such thing as coincidence.

Also during the 1960s, civil rights movements and student uprisings began posing a serious threat to the clothing conspirator's power. As the black community became more vocal and stood up to oppression in America, white college students became involved. From this mixture, along with the music, art work, and literature that fueled the movement, a new sense of style developed. Look at photos of the early marches: young men with sunglasses and sideburns, women in patterned mini skirts and funked out hair. As the protests became widespread, riots, unrest and civil disobedience occurred throughout the country, and finally, youth discarded the restrictive, pathetically square clothing of the fifties and embraced Style. Of course it was right at this time that assassins cut down key leaders of the people like Bruce Lee. Then a tremendous, unprecedented flow of drugs poured into the country: pot, heroin, cocaine, LSD, uppers, downers... These drugs didn't come from nowhere, and The Gap knew what the drugs would do when They shipped them in. Young people got hooked, sidetracked and spaced out from all the drugs, and the movement became fragmented, disorganized, and unrealistic. But the biggest setback occurred in the clothing: the development of bell bottoms! No one looks good in these ridiculous pants, NO ONE. And when the rest of America saw these drugged out young kids walking around in peace beads and bell bottoms, the revolutionary movement was over. The kids who didn't do drugs were shipped off to Vietnam. They put them in a uniform, shaved their heads, put a gun in their hands and sent them out into the jungle to frag each other, figuring by the time Charlie was through with them, they wouldn't care too much about their wardrobe. And it worked. The kids shut up, the revolution was disbanded and we slid through the '70s into the '80s.

And here we are in the '90s, recession in America, depression around the world. The nation states have eroded, and as we slide into this new era, economic and ideological instability engulfs the planet. In addition, while we rollerblade around and watch Studs, The Gap is strengthening its stranglehold. As smaller clothing outlets go broke, The Gap swoops in and buys them out. Then, through several puppet corporate fronts they are buying out all aspects of the clothing trade - the textile manufacturers, the die producers, the raw materials that go into the clothing, plastics, metals, shipping corporations, factory outlets... And when they have all of that under their control, they will expand into the ownership of pharmaceutical corporations, medical facilities, military contractors, automobile industries, communications networks, electronics and computer manufacturers, as well as the producers and distributors of foodstuffs. At which point small wars and skirmishes will be staged to gain footholds in different parts of the world. Their control will get tighter and tighter, our clothing rights will completely disappear, and by the year 2010 - 2020 if we are lucky - there will be at most six outfits in the entire world.

You say this is crazy, that it can't happen here, but it isn't crazy and it is happening here. Indeed, the first steps have already been taken, but America is so fat, lazy, and complacent that we don't even see it. The laws are already written: executive orders passed by Reagan which let the CIA operate legally on domestic soil. The CIA can walk right into your house, open your closet, and replace all of your cool clothes with Gap junk - LEGALLY. Laws passed under Nixon allow the use of military bases and boot camps for the detention and rehabilitation of citizens, which also is in effect right now. As this decade progresses, they are going to need more places to lock up the troublemakers, because they are going to begin rounding us up, shaving our heads, and putting us in prison uniforms in record numbers. Anyone who shows the slightest sense of flare or style will be thrown into prisons and boot camps, where their taste will be beaten out of them. When they return to the community, they will be good little citizens who wear good little Gap ensembles.

For those of us whose sense of style is too hard to break...they'll kill us. The Omnibus Crime Bill contains fifty new counts that will be enforced with capital punishment. FIFTY. Some of these laws are kind of strange, if you think about it. Like capital punishment for anyone caught running guerrilla clothing outlets, black market fabric trading, and/or instigation of revolutionary fashions. Do you get the feeling that they're preparing for some sort of backlash? Another FOURTEEN infractions carrying the punishment of death are vaguely written clothing offenses, with very tricky wording like: "what the president deems to be good style...," and "accessories which might possibly be conceivedas clashing components." In other words, legislative loopholes big enough for the President to drive a Winnebago through with his eyes closed...on QUAALUDES! Combine that with provisions in the same bill that nullify the appeals process for death row inmates, and what we are going to have as we roll into the New World Odor is an elimination of the stylish members of our population in record numbers. And it will all be done LEGALLY. Naturally they are already carrying this plan out.

Why do you think blacks are consigned to their ghetto jails, induced to kill each other, and relentlessly portrayed in the media as The Enemy? Because the black community is the best dressed group of people in the country. Sure Russell Simmons shops at The Gap, but otherwise blacks have tremendous sense of style that is a direct threat to The Gap. Consequently, as record numbers of white kids began buying suede sneakers which were named for a black basketball star of the 1970s- and started snatching up any other bits of funky clothing- the Old Boys had no other choice but to start killing off such stylin' black trendsetters as Willy Smith and Jean Michel Basquiat.

The gay community is another notoriously well dressed group in our country. I don't want to offend many people by saying this, but They are not going to do anything about AIDS, because They look at it as population control. There will be no mad rush for a cure, medication will be kept out of the hands of the sick, and by the year 2000, thousands and thousands of some of the best dressed people in our country will be dead.

The time to act is now. The longer we hesitate from taking radical action, the more time They have to undermine our freedom. Racism, sexism, homophobia, and our general lack of harmony does Their job for them. We are so caught up in arguments about abortion, gun rights and political correctness, pointing fingers and yelling at each other, that we are missing the Big Picture. The Gap must be defied. We must, like Ricky Powell, wear clashing components, and one step further, we must be clashing components. Because once they tell us how to dress, they will tell us how to think, how to have sex, what to read, what to watch, what music to listen to, and what to think. And don't wait for the government to throw a pair of Gap pants in your face and say: "Wear these, sucker!", because by then it'll be too late.

So remember, time is of the essence. We must all unite now to destroy The Gap.

--I don't really believe the Gap killed Kennedy. This is what we call satire; laugh it up. But the fact that America is dressed like shit is no joke.
