Preoccupation with [“dark side”] heavy metal music

Cerny added that while some, or all, of these characteristics often fits a typical profile of a cult-involved youth, this doesn’t mean that a youth with what he referred to as a “GO) /Gentlemen’s Quarterly] look and straight A’s”

might not be cult-involved.

Cerny said he believes that, for some youth, listening to heavy metal music not only can be an indication of destructive cult involvement, but that the music actually may incite them to violence toward others. While Cerny said he strongly supports First Amendment rights, he also believes there should be legislation mandating that recording companies and artists issue warnings about lyric content.

BREAKING THE CIRCLE

According to Cerny, who has debriefed approximately one hundred cult-involved young persons over the years, it is vital that law enforcement representatives have as much training as possible in the ritual crime area because of its increasing prevalence and the high propensity for violence among cult members, youth and adult.

Combatting Violence of Nontraditional Groups

Besides satanists, Cerny named other nontraditional groups that have displayed tendencies to violence, including the Neo-Nazis and Missing Foundation.

Missing Foundation, begun in New York City in the mid-1980s, decries landlords, “yuppies,” and police as the enemy” in their literature. Missing Foundation is reported to have incited riots and is known for impromptu stagings of concerts designed not only to glorify violence, but create it. Cerny played a tape of a report produced by Channel 2 News in New York City, which included a home video segment of violence by band members and audience at a concert staged by Missing Foundation.

An emblem of Missing Foundation is an upside-down champagne glass, signifying, “The party’s over!” and implying an end to what this group sees as imbalances between classes. Cerny said that graffiti such as this displayed in certain areas of a city is one way of “establishing turf.”

Another area for serious concern, Cerny reported, is the proliferation of crime and intimidation by racist supremacist “hate” groups.” As an example, he talked about some white supremacists whose open intent is to establish an all-white North American “Aryan Nation.” According to a Public Broadcasting documentary, this group is reported to hold a World Aryan Congress in Idaho every year. Many of its chapters are now said to be linked by a computer network. This, according to taped interviews with some of the group’s leaders, not only provides up-to-date group news, but features a “hit list” of people (such as politicians, journalists, judges) deemed adversarial to the group’s cause.

There are even indications, Cerny said that some of these groups are sharing techniques of abuse, propaganda, and infiltration—that some of them may be joining forces. As an example of this kind of crossover, Cerny said he was once a clandestine ob-202
