"It found ME!"
"The obscene idol grotesquely squats on top of a rough hewn
granite pillar. The fire around it crackles and roars high. We
are joyously dancing around it all; hands linked, half naked, we
are whole, laughing with joy and desire."
Searching for excitement, power? Seeking a higher cause, one
worthy of your very life? The Campus Crusade for Cthulhu offers
all this, AND MORE! How does Tall, Green, and Slimy sound to
you? Pretty scary. But you can handle it. You will have to
learn how to. You will learn to yearn for the soft squeezing
caress of undulating tentacles. Or you will be eternally sorry
that you did not. Think that you are searching for meaning
still? Well, search no more! We have found you. Soon, when you
expect it least, our agents will contact you. Soon you will not
have to worry about anything. Ever. Again. We know more about
you than you can ever learn about us. And who are we?
We are both the oldest and the newest college organization in
existence. We are sponsored by the ancient Cthulhu Cult, which
predates all history. Before the United States of America, before
ancient Greece, before Atlantis. Before the first Illuminati
attempts at world conquest our tentacles had an unbreakable grip
upon the entire Earth. We have never let go. Ever since we were
pre-men, the Cthulhu Cult has served the Great Old Ones, the
unspeakable horrors of legend. It is they who lived eons before
they brought life upon this Earth. They came from distant
unknown space, falling out of the sky upon our virgin Earth.
Through covert means, their lurking shapes held sway over our
young planet, guiding its' course to serve their own needs. They
destroyed the dinosaurs when they were done with them, and so
made way for the first men. The Old Ones died three million years
past, gone into the Earth, under the sea. Dead they were, yet
undead; their dreaming still bodies reached out, and so molded
the minds of our distant ancestors. The greatest of their High
Priests, whom we know as Cthulhu, lay deep within his sunken
R'lyeh Temple and guided all of history through the Cult. Ever
we have prepared the world for the day they shall return. Then
the world shall fall under the clinging grip of the Great Old
Ones reborn. And only those who serve them in this life shall
survive. For a time. That is why we worship Cthulhu, why you
cannot afford not to. Ever we await his return from his tomb at
R'lyeh. For we know that the words ever hold true,
The history of our club is a strange and wondrous one; early on
in this century the ever growing Cthulhu Cult founded the Campus
Crusade at Miskatonic University, the hallowed center of learning
located among the misty hills of Arkham, MA. Our first moves were
carefully planned: information tables in the University Union,
arcane bake sales, ceremonies in the remote regions of campus,
and the like. After a year we had become a campus fixture.
The next year we reached out for other campuses. Yale, New York
University, SUNY-Binghamton, they were but a few. Now we have
over 666 schools in our rule. And that is only counting the
United States!
Remember the uprisings of the sixties, REMEMBER Kent State?
They were small experiments on our part, to demonstrate our
power.
By the end of the second year we had possession of the entire
University! Classes were cancelled so that all could take part
in our ceremonies and ritual Virgins of both sexes begged to be
sacrificed on our behalf. Our political control of Arkham was
absolute.
Remember, we have been watching you for a very long time. We
will continue to do so for the rest of your life. However long
that shall be is up to you. So, join the fastest growing
conspiracy on the planet! Be ready for the time of the
re-awakening.
* Intimate contact with those of like interests.
* Eternal companionship in this life and the next.
* The safety of numbers.
* Spiritual support in case of legal prosecution.
* Enhanced lifespan: chances of surviving the return of the
Great Old Ones double when you are with us.
* POWER -- Come the New Time, you will be given absolute control
over the city of your choice, if all turns out as planned. The
festering remnants of humanity will be yours to do with what you
wish.
* Never again shall you be bored!
* Never again shall you be cold!
* AND you get your very own membership card, which entitles you
to a ten percent discount on all items stocked at our numerous
occult shops!
* Greatly reduced life expectancy.
* Justified paranoia.
* Constant fear.
* Great chance to become a Cthulhu breakfast snack.
* A death guaranteed NOT to be quick and painless.
* For your own safety... Write for more information: CAMPUS
