So as I've mentioned in my introduceyourself post, I've created (or am at least in the works of turning it from a dream to a reality) a modern day ninja clan with its foundation being based in the rave scene. This is its emblem, called the Khao-Khyn. and the name of the of my clan is The Kaos Klan.
Now, do not be confused (funny I say that considering one definition of chaos is confusion lol) by the name. Kaos Klan is NOT about causing chaos, nor is it a racist group. I point both of those out because the name has rose both those questions in the past. There are a few reasons for the spelling, one of which is because the emblem has two K's in it, one backwards, one normal, which put together, creates my own variation I've created of the symbol of chaos, which looks like this:
(I do not own that image, can be found on google) There are very many different versions of that symbol, but the Khao-Khyn is my own creation of it. The whole reason for it, is that Kaos Klan is an organization I've created built around my philosophy on Chaos, its true nature, and how it can either be used as a force of destruction, a means of creation, and utilized to maintain balance. I call it: Khaotics, and I will introduce in parts into fallowing post in the near future. It covers a lot of areas, ideas and grounds, but this post is focused on the ninja clan and the purpose it serves.
Now, you're probably wondering, what does a ninja clan built upon a philosophy have to do with the rave scene? well, that's where the climax of this article comes too. I created the idea before my fallen idol, Troy Bettles, aka Datsik, had allegations of drugging and raping women on his tours where made, but now that they've been made, his career done, and in my option, the ninja and the rave scene dishonored by not just him as he used the ninja image in his last few years of making music, but by him not standing up to the standards of PLURR. And it's not just him. IT came to my attention, that the first woman to come out with the accusations, admitted that she had lied about it. That's a pretty low blow too.
Though the evidence seem as if he has something to hide, even doing something as low and scandalous as saying some heinous things as what was said, and it ruining a career, is just as bad as actually doing those heinous actions. I personally feel, that if you are a DJ, that you are the primary person to set the example of keeping it PLURR. and we as fans, have the responsibly of living by that example and fallowing it. But let us not focus on just the artist or the fans. There is fault on security, staff, and promoters ends as well.
A few weekends ago, at The Complex in Salt Lake City, UT, a fellow raver, and now friend of mine (who shall remain anonymous) and his brother, where aggressively removed from the venue or a very petty issue: they where tired and famished from having fun, so they got some food, but sat down to eat it (god forbid) which was against policy...but there are NO tables or chairs to sit at and eat or drink. They expect you to stand up. Give me all the " yeah but's" that you want, but I'm sorry, that's just inexcusable, especially when this was recorded on video and there is evidence that they aggressively abused there position of power, clearly over did it with handling the situation, made other people feel unsafe and uncomfortable...and on a side note, they actually got hit for money laundering. All of which, for at a event that it's soul intention, is to keep it PLURR (particularly BTSM's church ceremony, there last one of the tour)
And now, I bring you all to the conclusion. The purpose that Kaos Klan serves, is to honor and protect PLURR, and those who come to the Dojo (raves/festivals/events) with the pure intention of being as these virtues mean and represent, from ALL those who dare bring harm or ill intentions. this includes costumers (regular people paying to get in) and people just coming to get high out of there mind or try to make a quick buck or take advantage of women, or start fights, staff members of a venue, promoters, management, AND artist and DJs. There are no exceptions from bringing negativity to a place where we all come to feel the love, have fun, connect, feel safe, and even get away from the very same BS that occurs in our daily lives. PLURR= Peace, Love, Unity, Respect, and Responsibility.
The second R of PLURR is slowly being forgotten. And I, with the support of many in the rave scene in the state of Utah, and even beginning to gain it outside of it, have bestowed my that responsibility on myself, and all those who which to join my noble cause, with honor and virtue and by living a life with moral and by a code of honor, too keep the scene safe, as well as those who truly keep it PLURR.
I understand the potential consequences of shooting for something like this, but seeing as how I have been getting a lot of support for this, and slowly gaining people who wish to join, I'm not focused on the negative outcomes, but rather the positive benefit. Every time I go to events now, I am thanked for what I am trying to do. People agree, that PLURR needs to be protected, what better then by a ninja, who does so with Honor, lives with Honor, and rages with honor

This is my fan/support page on facebook. it is still under development, as is this whole project. But all and any help is appreciated. With that said, if there is anyone interested in becoming a full fledged member, please get in contact with me and we discuss more about it. We are not a gang, we hold no colors. We are not a cult, rebels, mercenaries, or terrorist. We are ravers just like anyone else, who choose to live with honor, and protect what we love so that others who love what we do, can enjoy it as well, free from as much harm as we can protect.

I only ask of my fellow members of the rave culture, whatever your stature my be: Keep it PLURR, and may you rage with honor!
Dude this is an awesome introduction to your ninja philosophy and how you plan to utilize it in the rave scene! I really didn't know too much about what you're trying to do, until I read this, so thank you for writing this post and sharing it with me! I definitely have a better understanding of your cause now, and you definitely know I support your efforts all the way!
Also it's interesting that it's called the Kaos Klan, because my rave name is KAOZ :P
Thank you my ninja! Means a lot to me, and I'm glad it helped better you're understanding of it!
and I thought you would find that interesting, I honestly thought it was cool as hell that that's your rave name when I found out! you'll have to tell me the back story on that one next time we hang!
Definitely!! :D
