"DOWN TO CLOWN: THE KORN SERVES IMPERIALISM STORY"
By Octavia M. Sheffner (strangely uninvolved in treason trial, presumed dead)

KORN SERVES IMPERIALISM. You don't understand the implications of this for our society. Everyday more of our creative freedoms get thwarted, and we have to put on the tracksuit, and the clown mask. And we have to like it. Every record label is linked to each other by an umblical cord from the stillborn, strangled foetus of the miltiary-industrial complex. KORN RECRUITS YOU INTO THE MARINES. We set out to prove this, and denounce it with our urgent music for these times. You don't understand how deep this goes - every single note you post on social media of any kind has already been optioned to 20 different pop stars. KORN are the gatekeepers of the YouTube and TIkTok algorithm. They decide who does and doesn't wear the clown mask of popularity and the tracksuit of honor.
OPEN THE KORN WELL. It begins in Iowa. Every single music label owner was born in IOWA. All technological media in the United States is produced in IOWA. Silicon Valley was never in California. When you enter PALO ALTO, you find yourself in a pocket dimension in IOWA that resembles "California" or at least what you remember as thinking the TV showed you and your Mom told you and the music industry convinced you was "CALIFORNIA". That's why so many people die in Palo Alto, they have ridiculous high expectations placed on them, so they lie on the traintracks because they couldn't live to clown and KORN SERVES IMPERIALISM, and IMPERIALISM IS THE AGENT OF DEATH. They spread the localization of the IOWA DIMENSION across the whole of the Earth, and the spread never plateaus. KORN ARE DIMENSIONAL CANNIBALS. They have a song about it. NARCISSISTIC CANNIBAL. It features Skrillex. He was new, he disrupted the world with dubstep. He could've destroyed IOWA, his wubwubs were too much for the KORN GATEKEEPERS. KORN blackmailed him because of his emo background, "YOU'RE NOT SO DIFFERENT FROM US CLOWNS!". He relented. He relented twice. They held him in a damp dungeon with 1993 clown masks one for every year it took for the entropy for KORN to be born to generated and with each clown mask containing a year of reality overwritten by the KORN MULTIDIMENSIONAL EMPIRE, Iowa-fied.
THERE IS NO SEA IN IOWA. You know the number one way to trade, to globalize your products, export your power to the world: there has to be a SEA. KORN TAKES OVER THE MARINES. Korn threatens to DRAIN THE SEA. NOT just part it, they will strand MOSES IN THE DESERT, that's what they would do to the NAVY. No sea, no ocean, everything 100% IOWA-IFIED: no banana republics, no drug smuggling from Colombia, no Iran-Contra, no Saudi oil, no Gulf War, no Vietnam. WATER IS MONEY AND WATER IS WAR. There is no water in Iowa. The only water is in CORN, and THE CLOWN POSSESSES THE CORN. They had to have more water. So they could be a great naval sea-faring empire. KORN TAKES THE MEDITERRANEAN, KORN TAKES EUROPE. IF THERE IS NO SEA, THERE IS NO MILITARY. IF THERE IS NO MILITARY, THERE IS NO MUSIC INDUSTRY.
Our negotiations with WARNER-DISNEY-TOYOTA-WHOLEFOODS-UNIVERSAL-COLUMBIA-KMART fell apart. That's when we discovered the dark truth... of how KORN SERVES IMPERIALISM. It was one day on the beach. We were about to release our first album on WARNER-DISNEY-TOYOTA-WHOLEFOODS-UNIVERSAL-COLUMBIA-KMART, and each time we looked into the sea, we tried to bounce the ball, it was pulled closer and closer to the seafloor. Soon we could feel no liquid, only seaweed, and the life guard asked us if we were DOWN TO CLOWN, we were in the seaweed, expecting the sea, but there was nothing. The lifeguard pulls a gun on us: IF YOU ARE NOT DOWN TO CLOWN, YOU CANNOT TALK ABOUT THIS. IF YOU TALK ABOUT THIS, THE CLOWN DOWNS YOU.
Then we realized - that lifeguard was SKRILLEX, but he could not cry. He made sobbing sounds as he said this. He retained the very last of his humanity, unclownified, unIowafied, but he could not cry. The saltwater from his eyes was disappeared by the waterboiling multi-dimensional sea-eating Large Corn Collider, he sacrificed his tears as a pledge of allegiance in a brutal procedure the likes of which we cannot describe or imagine. Immediately after this, he was blindfolded and pushed out of the dungeon, into the studio, where his CLOWN MASTERS awaited for him to work day and night to compose and refine the collaboration tracks that would let them control the changing musical landscape. After he fell out of popularity, and midtempo alt-pop gained prominence, he was relegated to doing menial enforcing jobs.
If there is no prominence, there is no job. PROMINENCE, BIGNESS, BLINDING, DAZZLING, EXORBITANT, SOFT POWER and GIANT TANKS are the face and executive force, where image and action bleed, where thing and shadow meet, and KORN SERVES IMPERIALISM. And since KORN SERVES IMPERIALISM, and Skrillex serves KORN, Skrillex was telling us to get into place and never speak. We were on the run. We knew we had to get out of the country. We dug ourselves into the Gobi desert. Beneath the sands where camel herders lived, we knew our version of history was wrong. On day 6 of dehydration, we received a truth we almost forgot. IOWA was the SLIPKNOT album. KORN had overwritten the other prominent nu metal originators, plastered their face on them, NARCISSISTIC CANNIBALS they are. Slipknot were no more, and Skrillex's collaborations were powering the overwrite. KORN were from Bakersfield, we knew this, our minds weren't overwritten yet. NARCISSISTIC CANNIBAL was a power sigil to slowly induce memory corruption in everyone who witnessed it - to forget SLIPKNOT. We started this by claiming KORN were from IOWA, because it is convenient - they are the CLOWN LORDS OF THE CORN, and corn grows in IOWA. The imperialist goal is for stereotype and reality to become the same, thing and shadow to become equivalent - so they stole IOWA back from SLIPKNOT, because SLIPKNOT knew the true power of IOWA. KORN had to insert themselves as the CORN pastures of IOWA from the stalks of which world governments sprout.
The failure of Slipknot was their outward conformity. Their image was that of anonymous, numbered members. They could not be billionaire philanthropists. They did not plaster their names on everything. You cannot say about John from Slipknot that he saved those people in the Thai cave and not the supposed pedophile rescue operation head. KORN knew this, and they banked on it. Slipknot made the foolish mistake of splitting OUTWARD IMAGE, the IMPERIALIST SOFT POWER GLOW and their own selves, the men behind the music. That is why their IOWA became KORN'S IOWA, and KORN SERVES IMPERIALISM, and IMPERIALISM consumes nuance and subversion.
We type this from an ancient supercomputer in a yurt after we were discovered by local nomadic herders in the Gobi desert. We were fed camel milk. Camels naturally store water in their humps. Inside them, they have a sea. KORN fear this equivalence. Camel milk is the drink to drink if you want to insulate yourself from KORN's influence. The computer is powered by camel labor and is the only piece of technology on our Internet or power grid or our reality which has been untainted by KORN. Yet we consider the futility of the task. Our band name, our album title: KORN SERVES IMPERIALISM. I'm sure you know this. You see them everywhere. You know everywhereness is imperialism. The negative image of imperialism too is part of the surface/nature equivalence of imperialism. AND KORN SERVES IMPERIALISM. You can come to your own conclusions about this story and you can dismiss it as science fiction that KORN are using to promote their own sideproject, and are claiming they are IMPERIALIST agents when in reality we know all dissidents have been absolved into the IOWA CENTRAL WORLD GOVERNMENT, helmed by our clown overlords. There is no subversion. Even by publishing this, we endanger our herder hosts for the seizure of their technique. They will find a way to poison the camel milk. The sea inside the camel's humps will too be KORN's sea. It brings me much despair.
When you cover crime with subjects that are still alive, and who have not yet turned ghost or fossilized exclusively into a symbol and exclusively history, and speculate on the lives of unconvicted, systemically unconsumed people, you risk flooding them with calls from those who consume your journalism. What if by exposing KORN, we empower KORN? Our exposure of their presence will only power those 1993 CLOWN MASKS that consume the years without KORN. The more we point out that they are ingrained in our world's structure, the more of the entire sum of the world's history will be overwritten. THERE WILL BE 13 BILLION MATCHING CLOWN MASK TRACKSUIT SETS THAT WILL CONSUME THE WORLD. When you say something is true in the present, it's the human mind's assumption to guess that it has precedent in the past, that there has to have been a beginning or a trend to compare this to. If our minds are DOWN TO CLOWN, the effects of negative coverage of KORN will merely convince all of us, simultaneously, that throughout the entire existence of this iteration of the universe, eversince the Big Bang and before the Big Bang, it is the nature of time and space to be DOWN TO CLOWN. GOD IS IMPERCEIVABLE. If He is imperceivable, he is everywhere. And IMPERIALISM banks on everywhereness and imperceptibility, constant presence, and KORN SERVES IMPERIALISM.
Naval sea trade will soon only be described by historians as invented by KORN to combat the waterlessness of IOWA in antiquity. Sea war will be war between followers of the CLOWN that diverge on their fundamental tenets of belief. Music begins with religious hymns, and our religious hymns will be those to the CLOWN and its POWER OVER THE SEA and its POWER OVER THE STALKS OF CORN. This will be most prominent in Mesoamerica, where maize first grew. When American Imperialism, in this new iteration of the world, takes over Mexico and expands further into the Aztec and Mayan civilizations, these religious hymns will be absolved into the systems that allow KORN to rule the world through the music industry, which in itself is an asset of the military-industrial complex. The equivalence of symbols will empower the SIGIL OF THE CLOWN.
And since KORN SERVES IMPERIALISM, and we empower IMPERIALISM in the face of our disempowerment before the CLOWN, WE serve imperialism, and we serve KORN, and that will be so throughout all time, because KORN SERVES IMPERIALISM and IMPERIALISM consumes all.
