Picket report, SF mini report May 5th
It was a fun day, warm and sunny, stiff breeze. The
cult members were out with very large placards
"Psychiatry Kills" etc. and one had a photo of a guy
getting a pre fontal lobotomy, that would cure a person
of ever wanting *that done.... although the turkey
baster, drugs and mind trash job the cult did on Lisa
McPherson might have out done the psychiatrists, at
least the frontal lobotomy victim lived.
I've been telling Jeff that they are using the
psychiatric scene as a straw man to distract their own
staff and public from the cults seriously criminal
activity of hiring hit men, thugs and whores to ruin
people etc. rip off money.
In attendance:
I got there about 12:30
Kristi and Peach were resting in the shade handing out
fliers and educating the public, and letting the cult
people (about 5 of them) roast in the sun holding
their huge black and white large block letter signs..
Then I arrived with 200 bright red fliers with the
totally vicious Rev Bagleys killer letter on it... and
the usual web references, and my phone number in case
anyone had a group they needed a speaker for. I handed
out about 100 of those and gave the rest to Peach and
Kristi for later. We all began walking back and forth
in front of the bOrg.
Then Paul (phr) arrived. THEN..... Keith Henson and
Arel arrived. Arel was PISSED for some reason, maybe
it was because one of the culties was trying jam a
video cam down her throat. She was resplendent in a
white outfit, and white hat, she relaxed later. She
was being ruthlessly harrassed by the tall black guy
with the video cam, I offered to be a witness in court
if needed to that effect... the guy was taunting her,
and kept taunting me too at every opportunity
apparently trying to provoke a remark that he could
capture on video and edit for use in court later. That
guy seemed after a while to back off a bit. They
were trying to get shots of all us critics with Keith
so I obliged and they got about 90 pics as Keith and I
discussed the frame up job they did on him in Hemet.
I think thats going to backfire big time on the cult
especially if Reed Slatkin turns out to be the judges
'investment' advisor. Time will tell.
I talked to all of the cults placard holders, one was
Jeffs auditor, a wired up stressed out looking dude,
he was nasty to me at first when I tried to be friendly
and compliment him on his very nice new 'psychiatry
kills' black jacket and well done sign... he said "you
are not my friend and trying to act that way is beneath
contempt" or some such. Later I stopped by and told
him that I could be friends with anyone despite
differences in opinion, he was nicer then.
The girl holding an anti psych sign with a large photo
below of a person being lobotomized was very effective.
She warmed up just faintly over the time were were
there.
There was a new guy holding an anti psych sign on the
street corner, he was casual, and nice, hip looking.
I told him he needed a sign with photo like the girl.
He agreed. He will blow the cult shortly I believe.
"nasty" Mark spent quite a bit of time trying to
convince me that Reed Slatkin just got caught in a down
market, when that failed he argued that a ponse scheme
could happen to anyone on a bad day and that blaming
the cult for it was unfair. I gave up. Told him to
read the Faxes Ive been sending to Jeff with the
details.
I had my usual long discussions with Jeff Quiros, he
handed me the cults anti psychiatric mag... not all
that bad I thought. I told Jeff that all they needed
to do was cease with thier own crimes and we would all
go back to drinking lemonaide and fishing. I talked
to 'Nasty Mark' some more... he was civil as he was
some of the time, last picket. ... although last picket
I was at he almost jumped down Phrys thoat and lunged a
bit at phr etc...
I cant say I noticed any increase in people going onto
course at 1 pm... maybe 3 or 4, maybe one new face. A
burly biker type, I suggested to him that he might wish
to keep a close eye on his wallet.... you could see the
wheels turning in his head when I said that. He won't
be there long.
About 2 pm we went to the coffee shop and deli for
refreshments and got an update on Kieths scene and
Arels coming of age on understanding how far down in
the pits the cult really is... she handed out a flier
with Poopsies post regarding how the cult destroys
life, a marvelously insightful post by Poopsie, and a
major new insight for Arel. The flier is now part of
Americana in the Union Square area she must have handed
out over a hundred of those, maybe more.
Nasty Mark (who was semi nice today) showed up at the
coffee shop and I slipped the cashier 2 bucks to pay
for his coffee... he said he wouldn't accept it, but
apparently took the freebie and spit, I had invited
both he and Jeff to the after picket get together but
Jeff declined.
Early on I asked Kristi to get her camera going when I
approached Jeff Quiros with my box of fliers and asked
Jeff to hold my picket sign while I 'struggled' with
the mess :)...he reached for the sign out of instinct,
and was going to hold it for a second but then caught
on...we almost got a pic of an OSA guy holding a
critical picket sign. that would have been a winner.
maybe Kristi got the shot of him reaching for it she
was rolling on it the whole time.
After the coffee shop we resumed picketing, I left
after half an hour, Peach, Kristi, Keith, Arel, and I
think phr stayed and picketed longer.
The general public is onto the cult about 50% more this
year than last. Many tell you they know how bad it is
when you tell them its worse than you think. One tall
red head lady said she used to hang out with a bunch of
scn's on the east coast I think in the 70's she said
they scared her to death...dangerous she said, didnt
take a flier. Many of the passers by gave me a thumbs
up. I and Kristi gave fliers to many police who came
by because of the Cinco DeMio day event at the
square... the police took them enthusiastically :)
