THIS SECTION WILL DEAL WITH THE MANY CONSPIRACY THEORIES, POLITICAL MOVEMENTS, AND RELIGIONS THAT STIV WAS INTERESTED IN.

a.) miles copeland - irs records

miles copeland III was the founder of irs records, who the lords of the new church were signed to. copeland's father worked for the cia (central intelligence agency).

the story goes that stiv was called into the irs offices to speak with the younger copeland, but when he was buzzed into the office, instead two "men in black" were waiting to speak to him. were stiv's subversive lyrics upsetting someone?

we can't afford the bail,

now don't go tellin' secrets,

this records gotta sell"
