Q: WHO WAS FRANCIS E. DEC, ESQ.?

A: He was a NY State lawyer. Or rather, he used to be one. That was before he was convicted
and disbarred for his involvement in
two counts of second degree forgery and second degree grand
larceny, as well as fraud in performing his duties as a notary public.
Details remained rather sketchy
until recently, but now more information has been located which can be found here, here, here and
here thanks to Ted Torbich and Mr. Forrest Jackson, huge fans of Francis E. Dec, Esq.!
   After he was excluded from the NY Bar Association and his license to practice law was revoked,
Francis E Dec started the career for which he is most widely known today, namely that of an
insane, criminal menace to this worse Gangster Government. Or, you know, just “insane kook” if
you like that term better. Either way he would come to spend the next 20 years or so isolated alone
in his house in Hempstead NY, furiously typing and sending out mad letters of warning to thousands
of random households, media outlets and small businesses all over the United States. From what
I’ve been able to gather from his writings, it may have been a combination of being convicted and
disbarred as a lawyer along with the intense isolation in what he refers to as his “low, deadly
niggertown old house”
that finally drove Mr. Dec over the edge. Although I suspect more than a fair
helping of Paranoid Schizophrenia may have been a contributing factor to his madness, as well.
Whatever the case, the results were hilarious.


Q: SO YOU THINK DEC AND HIS DELUSIONS ARE FUNNY?

A: Oh hell yes, I fucking love this guy. As stated above Dec and his insane diatribes must truly be
one of the greatest comedic gems of the 20th century. Even more so since the humor is entirely
unintentional. Dec really thought he was warning the world of a deadly, vicious conspiracy by
sending out his mad letters when, in fact, the only thing he actually succeeded in doing was making
people like me laugh our asses off at the sheer lunacy of the things he believed were true. I’m dead
serious here, folks; there’s not a single thing you could possibly change about his insane beliefs
that would make them any funnier. If Francis E. Dec was a cartoon character on TV, he’d have a
cuckoo on a spring that’d jump out of a little door on his forehead every time he’d say something.

 

Q: SO WHAT ARE DEC’S DELUSIONS ALL ABOUT, REALLY?

A: I won’t tell you. It’d spoil the humor of listening to him for the first time. Plus, I could go on and
on all day about what Dec’s delusions are about but the only way of gaining any real understanding
(term used lightly in context) is to actually experience them for yourself. Like the Matrix. Yes,
almost exactly like the Matrix, come to think of it.


Q: OK, SO WHAT EXACTLY IS IT YOU FIND SO FUNNY ABOUT THEM, THEN?

A: Lots of things. For starters; the entirety of Francis E. Dec's worldview is just so twisted, insane
and demented that it becomes unintentionally hilarious. It becomes 100% obvious while listening to
Dec that he really believed everything he wrote about to be true. He didn't see anything at all strange
in people having backup-brains in huge cities on the lunar surface or former US presidents organizing "sodomy swimming parties" in the back of the White House. Dec's delusions are simply so
unspeakably bizarre that they remind you more of some kind of elaborate parody of Schizophrenia
than anything else. But there is no parody here, folks. It's all for real. In Dec's world both this planet
and the entire Universe is a twisted, hostile place and everyone and everything is in on the giant
conspiracy against him. It's amazing! Also: everyone is obsessed with anal sex.
   Furthermore, Dec had what you might call "a way with words". So much, in fact, that it becomes
a true joy to read his rants just because of the sheer humor inherent in his rambling style of writing.
For example, Mr. Dec's texts are completely riddled with different forms of recurring alliterations
(like "hopeless helpless homeless derelicts") which actually gives them a slight poetic touch. They
are also rife with prime examples of what clinical psychiatrists refer to as "word salad", notably in
such gems as the phrases
"Computer God computerized brainthinking sealed robot operating arm
surgery cabinet machine removal"
or "Deadly Gangster ghetto-communist Gangster Computer God-
manipulated Gangster Court"
. You have to read and listen to the rants themselves to understand
what I'm talking about here. The bottom line is that Dec's style of writing only serves to further
enhance the already hilarious nature of his own delusions.


Q: WHAT THE HELL WAS WRONG WITH DEC, SERIOUSLY?

A: That’s a very, very good question, but I think I have gathered enough information to actually
answer it with a good deal of accuracy. As far as I’ve been able to analyze it, Mr. Dec probably
suffered from severe acute Schizophrenia complete with both hallucinations and paranoid delusions.
My judgment is based on the many, many symptoms described by Mr. Dec in his rants, many of
which fit the symptoms of Schizophrenia to a tee. For example, Mr. Dec repeatedly describes
seeing and hearing things which are not there, such as “radio noises“ inside his head when sitting
very still or the wife of
felon-gangster Parroting Puppet rectum-lapper sodomus Judge William
Sullivan
offering up her anus for sucking at Dec’s trial. I think it is pretty safe to say that neither of
these things ever happened outside of Mr. Dec’s own mind. Of course, this complete inability to
separate one’s “inner” world from the outer, real world is also a symptom of severe Schizophrenia.
   Naturally, there are many different sub-forms of Schizophrenia, all of which exhibit many different
symptoms. It would be my educated guess that Mr. Dec suffered from the kind referred to by Victor
Tausk as "Schizofreniform Influencing Machine Delusion". In this particular sub-type of Schizo-
phrenia, the sufferer becomes convinced he or she is controlled and constantly monitored by an
omnipotent, manipulating machine of some sort or other. One sufferer was 18th Century paranoiac
James Tilly Matthews, who at length explained his mad delusions of being "tortured-at-a-distance"
by an influencing machine he referred to as an "Air Loom", which in turn was  operated by a team
of "magnetic spies" who influenced and monitored his thoughts using "animal magnetism and
Mesmerism". Comparing Matthews delusions to those of Dec's, it is not at all difficult to see certain
similarities between the "Air Loom" and the "Worldwide Mad Deadly Gangster Computer God"...
   It would also be my educated guess that Mr. Dec was actually driven to type up his rants
and flyers in the first place out of a strong paranoia and fear of being killed (or as he puts it,
“exterminated”) by the "Gangster Government". As he raises fears over meeting this fate in pretty
much every single letter, it would seem a logical assumption that he would try to spread the word
about the giant conspiracy threatening his life to as many people as possible. This would likely
serve two purposes: one being to alert others about it and another to discourage the Lurking
Government Assassins from murdering him since they’d know he would be missed by at least
some of the recipients of his letters. This theory is also supported by Dec himself in one of his
rants, where he explicitly states:
Now after all these years, after I've mailed worldwide thousands
of my letters exposing the Worldwide Communist Gangster Computer God, I can once again walk
the streets solely as I did before 1969.”


Q: WHEN WAS FRANCIS E. DEC BORN?

A: For the first time in over 10 years, I have been able to to find out more information about Dec than
has been previously known by past researchers. Having extensively pored over the databases of the
NARA, more specifically their
World War II Army Enlistment Records, I can now reveal both Francis
E. Dec's date and place of birth. He was born 1926 in the state of New York.


Q: WHAT DID FRANCIS E. DEC LOOK LIKE? IS THE CARTOON VERSION OF HIM ON THIS
PAGE SIMILAR TO HIS ACTUAL APPEARANCE?

A: No, it is not. When I originally created the cartoon version of Dec I - like most other people - was
largely unaware of what Dec actually looked like and just extrapolated wildly based on the general
impression of his personality that I got from his rants. The resulting caricature was a choleric and
almost-insane looking unshaven maniac with a shock of crazy, unruly white hair and a solid jaw to
indicate moral righteousness in the face of a million corrupt gangsters. However; the real Dec in his
heyday probably did not look very, if even at all, similar to my cartoon caricature of him. I think my
caricature of him is more in keeping with what his actual personality must've been like, though.


Q: WHERE DID FRANCIS E. DEC LIVE?

A: He appears to for his entire life have been a citizen of Long Island, NY. More specifically of
Hempstead. His exact address was 29 Maple Ave. It is unknown if he were born on Long Island or
if this took place elsewhere in the state of New York.


Q: WHEN DID FRANCIS E. DEC DIE?

A: As of October 2006, brand new never-before-known information about Mr. Dec's exact time of
death has been located, thanks to Decologist Ted Torbich. It was early in 1996 when Dec left this
Gangster controlled-and-manipulated worse ghetto-Communist mortail coil, something which took
place at the St. Albans VA Extended Care Facility in Queens, NY. For (much) more info on Dec's
life (and death), see the Official Timeline!


Q: DID DEC HAVE ANY FAMILY?

A: Yes he did. His rants identify the existence of a single brother named Joseph I. Dec, whom Dec
refers to as a “deadly felon-murderer and secret assassin-spy agent against me for this Gangster
Government”. They seem to have lived together in the same house on 29 Maple Ave, Hempstead,
NY up to 1966 when Joseph moved out. According to Francis, Joseph beat him repeatedly and had
anal sex with loose women while Dec hid in the garage. Given the nature of Dec’s mental health,
these statements had better be taken with a grain of salt. Or an entire truckload. Francis E. Dec
also had a mother named Rose M. Dec and a father named John F. Dec, both of which immigrated
to the US from Poland and spoke fluent Polish.


Q: IS THAT DEC’S VOICE I HEAR IN THE AUDIO RECORDINGS?

A: No, it is not. The rants are read and recorded by one Boyd Britton, better known as “Doc
on the ROQ”. See the “About” -section for more info on him. The voice work for the two rants
"A TERRIBLE PRISON SENTENCE" and "The Top-Secret Dual Food Standard" were done by
yours truly.


Q: DID DEC OFFICIALLY TITLE EACH OF HIS RANTS?

A: Not having seen most original rants themselves but instead only having listened to them being
read, I can’t be sure. Instead, I have simply gone with the ancient Sumerian practice of naming an
epic after the first line contained therein, as per the Sha Nagba Imuru. The exceptions to this rule
is the rant “LONG Island Lunacy” which was expressively given the title in question by Doc Britton,
as well as the two new rants "A TERRIBLE PRISON SENTENCE" and "The Top-Secret Dual Food
Standard
", which were named by yours truly and Decologist Ted Torbich respectively.


Q: YOU’RE PROFITING FROM POOR MR. DEC’S INSANITY AND SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF
YOURSELF, YOU BAD MAN, YOU!

A: This entire page is 100% non-profit and will so always remain. As such, I do not make one
single, solitary dime from it. I do not sell anything and don't have one of those "Donate Via Paypal"
-buttons on the website. I built this page solely to pay homage to and to celebrate Mr. Dec, as well
as spread his humor to brand new generations worldwide (as a Frankenstein slave). I do not profit
in any way what so ever from anything you see here. Not from Mr. Dec, nor from the recordings of
Doc Britton, nor from the work of anyone else. Not one dime. Instead, I hope to be giving Mr. Dec
the official comedic recognition he sadly never received in life.


Q: FRANCIS E. DEC WAS OBVIOUSLY AN INSANE RACIST AND YOU MUST BE TOO
BECAUSE YOU PUBLISHED HIS RANTS. I HOPE YOU DIE IN A FIRE, YOU LOUSY COCK-
SUCKER! I WILL RUN YOU OVER WITH MY SAILBOAT! RRRAARRRGGHHH!!!

A: Did you even read the fucking disclaimer, moron? Otherwise, I suggest you do so now. It’s not
there just for clicking through, you know. Yes, it is true that Dec was an insane racist anti-Semite,
but his hatred did not limit itself to any specific groups of people; he hated everyone with equal
passion. Dec seriously believed everybody was in on the massive conspiracy against him, including
black people and Jews. And the Catholics. And the Communists. And the Police and judges. And
Ronald Reagan. And Jimmy Carter. And so on and so forth. This is part of what is so funny; the
unintentional humor inherent in his massive paranoia.
   Furthermore, publishing an insane madman’s crazy rants and thinking they’re funny does not
make me share his opinions, you dumbass. I’m not celebrating Dec’s racism here, but instead his
unintentional humor. If you can’t see that humor you are obviously looking at the wrong website. Go
someplace else instead; I’m not forcing you to read this.


Q: ARE THERE ANY OTHER WEBSITES WHICH CHRONICLE THE LIFE AND TIMES OF
MR. DEC?

A: You bet. Not many, granted, but a few. I myself first heard about Francis E. Dec from the site
The Kooks Museum which is a great site run by Ms. Donna Kossy that has been online for more
than 10 years. It has a section on Dec along with lots of other wackos. Some of my info on Dec is
borrowed from this site, although most of it was actually extrapolated from the rants themselves. If
you like both kooks and Donna's site about them, you should also check out her book!
   Also be sure to check out Mr. Forrest Jackson's account of actually meeting Francis E.
Dec, Esq. In the flesh! On his DEATHBED! Definitely a worthwhile read!
   For more info on Dec, please check out Dec's Appeal Brief, the response to Dec's Appeal Brief,
and Dec's reply to this response; all of which were dug up by Mr. Ted Torbich, a huge fan of Dec.
The Appeal response is also currently hosted on Mr. Jacksons website
.
