PAST
In February 1992 GP-O, the family, and various members of the TOPY entourage, had just come from Kathmandu, where they had distributed rice, dal, and clothing to those in need from a Hindu temple in an annual tradition of "giving back" through PTV royalties. A disturbing telegram arrived stating that there was "trouble in England".
Scotland Yard arrived on a tip in the hopes of finding incriminating items. This was followed by a Channel 4 Television program addressing a supposed growth of Satanism in the U.S. and the U.K. Geraldo Rivera had, with much success, unleashed a similar program to the U.S. in 1987. According to Genesis's account of the events, a fundamentalist lawyer in Liverpool had convinced a couple of mental patients to relocate to a Christian safe house in the North of England where, through various methods including sleep deprivation they would confess to involvement in a Satanic cult, in this case "Psychic TV". These individuals claimed they were forced to engage in various ghastly and unspeakable acts in the basement of the (basementless) house in Hackney, East London.
GP-O believes that all these extremists -- he and his family as well as the right wing pawns in the aforementioned events -- were actually being used, as everyone is, by those with the power to play both sides against the middle, and, in such a way, ultimately benefit those in wealth and power.
In Brighton, where Aleister Crowley was cremated, the swelling P-Orridge archives had already been extensive for ages. Oddly enough, actual controversial items, including sigils, were left untouched. Amidst the many items, eventually what was procured was a videotape, some 10 years old at the time, of a supposed ritual murder which, according to a Sonic Envelope interview with GP-O, was actually made by Jhon Balance and Sleazy. In the years since this episode, it would all seem like bad blood between Genesis and his ex-co-conspirators, as well as his homeland, has nearly all been absorbed. All charges were dropped, not long after the handover of power in the UK, and all the items returned.
Genesis and family heard from their lawyers in Britain that it wouldn't be safe to return home. The P-Orridge family approached the parents of actress Winona Ryder who had offered them refuge if needed. Soon after the relocation to California, Genesis and Alaura's marriage ended.
