    There used to be an Open Thread on Brownstoner, but morons posting inanities and talking off-topic helped get it killed.

  • Andrew Porter

    This is a problem which can be solved by using the “Flag as Inappropriate” symbol. Let Disqus deal with it. You can also vote down (not just up) comments you find lacking.

  • CHASESGILBERT

    No one’s listening, Nazi.

  • CHASESGILBERT

    Lol, Nazi. I take everyone else here seriously. Nazi propagandists, not so much.

  • Silas Marner

    FYI, Prince had more talent and style than all the Shlock-a-billy bozos you idolize combined X10. Millions mourn his passing. And when you pass (hopefully soon) who will mourn you loss? NOBODY. In fact, many will cheer.

  • Frown of Passion

    Keep your Ordo Templi Orientis propaganda to yourself. You and your ilk are not the heirs to Aleister Crowley.

  • CHASESGILBERT

    The 70’s are over. Grow up.

  • Frown of Passion

    No. You have been exposed, Most Wise Sovereign. There were always rumors about a Rose Croix presence in the Heights. Your posts are gibberish to those uninitiated in the teachings of Karl Germer. Your posts all makes sense now. Now we know the real reason you ensured that the abandoned BLS dorm was sealed in 2014.

  • SMiles

    I’ve been readn some of your crappy posts for a while now and i gotta say you sound like a real Fuggendoogebag. Big man you are not hiddin behind your computer, cause you know if ya say that $hit in on the street youll get your teeth punched in.

  • S.Miles

    Ya full of bull$hit

  • Frown of Passion

    You were reckless with your choice of nom de guerre. Willow Street Watch is clearly based on the Most Wise Sovereign. Flipping the first letter of the first word, “M” to a word beginning with a “W” and moving it to the end of the full name is textbook Germer. Your attempts in the 1970s to ply children with booze before inculcating them with the teachings of the Rose Croix also has the fingerprints of Germer. My question: Why would a Most Wise Sovereign guard his identity so poorly on this blog? What are you up to MSW?

  • CHASESGILBERT

    Perpetually a racist.

  • CHASESGILBERT

    You’re just sick. Everyone, one by one, is realizing. I was late to the game but you’re naked and afraid now. Won’t be me, but I’d sure love to see someone punch your ugly face in.

  • CHASESGILBERT

    You’re puritanical in the most twisted way. So glad your neighbors are beginning to understand the evil that plagues your tired brain.

    Thinly veiled racism, Nazi sympathy, possible affinities with the occult, blatant disregard for anything even bordering on equality?

    You’re a horror movie villain living amongst the enlightened masses. You speak for no one here but yourself.

  • CHASESGILBERT

    Also, you have no friends.

  • Lucinda Waits

    You are correct I’m pretty sure he lives on Monroe, I know he used to.

  • CHASESGILBERT

    Google Herman Slater and the Warlock Shoppe, Brooklyn Heights.

  • CHASESGILBERT

    He does, at least as of 2014. According to sources, directly across from the old Brooklyn Law School dorm building. He’s 65+, 6′-ish, distinctly long nose, narrow face. His photo is easily found via Google.

  • Frown of Passion

    Two independent analyses have reached the same conclusion. I analyzed the words of WSW/MWS and CHASESGILBERT conducted excellent online research. What is clear: MWS is not your typical OTO member. The evidence points to his potential involvement with the Warlock Shoppe circle during the 1970s, including Herman Slater and Eddie Buczynski. The hernia joke is now as revealing a reference as “order of the black sun.” He has been involved from the beginning and appears to be one of the few remaining members. Tread carefully neighbors.

  • CHASESGILBERT

    What? Free speech when it only suits you?

  • Magnus Jeffrey Smith

    This is Interesting! Are you the artist? Or is just another impersonator using a well known person’s name.

  • CHASESGILBERT

    Additionally, I see Jeffrey J. Smith is / was the “Northeast Correspondent” for the American Free Press, which grew out of The Spotlight. Themes of holocaust denial, anti-Semitic conspiracy theories, white supremacy, etc. are well noted. Affiliations with Storm Front and other white nationalist organizations are fairly transparent.

    For those not in the know, I now see that Jeffrey J. Smith, aka Willow Street Watch, is / was the “Northeast Correspondent” for the American Free Press, which grew out of The Spotlight. Themes of holocaust denial, anti-Semitic conspiracy theories, white supremacy, etc. are well noted. Affiliations with Storm Front and other white nationalist organizations are fairly transparent.

    Know your neighbors.

  • Willow Street Watch

    I was one of the first people in the door of the warlock shop. He had pretty fresh herbs and most of the early survivalist s in the Heights rather than trek to Manhattan bought some of their natural medicine there. As far as his being testy, well that was only in the Manhattan store and that was only because of every faction of the local magickal world decided to make his store a factional battleground on an almost continuous basis. And the huge use of drugs…..well you had to see the amount of types who weren’t achieving any “higher consciousness” they were simply were “higher”. I used to get people telling they were going to hex me when I simply said drugs BLOCK sprituial development. Herman always agreed with that. Also, given his background, he had come to terms with me and my associates. So he had fair prices and he was fair with all the shading of viewpoints. Except when the factions tried to start contests of wills inside his store. If I told you who he had as guest speakers it would just set off a certain moron here so I’ll just say he was amazingly even handed.

  • Jeffrey Smith

    See, I’ve got even YOU reading AFP.Very Good!!!
    Man, this is like when the original Cuban dealers hit park slope in the 60’s They had everyone snorting their stuff. Well sometimes with the amount of AFP’s we send and give out, I feel like the pushers in PS. I mean your getting home late and before you get to your house, three people meet you and ask for the latest issue. And its the same with everyone in this area who throws the AFP. The attraction is there because of it being a publication which allows people to escape the mind control system typified by and led by casino anglophiles on top and a certain ugly z brat on the bottom.

  • CHASESGILBERT

    Ok, Nazi.

  • Jeffrey Smith

    This is you Louie isn’t it? Try to behave yourself….

  • CHASESGILBERT

    Ok, Nazi.

  • Jeffrey Smith

    HAD to be a Bot. Really as advanced as A.I. is today, AI after a short while falls into perceivable patterns of circular logic.

    Either that, or this is really Louie…

  • CHASESGILBERT

    Ok, Nazi.
