Thank you, Mr West, of Penn's barking cheese censorship gang. Mr West's fictional strawman is referring to me. Now that SHCA is the laughing stock of the community, and the tactics of civic association presidents, like Mr. West, have been exposed; I believe it's a good time to revisit the tactics being used against all of us. We have these Praxis dog and pony shows coming up to prop up Penn's mayor, and we've seen the dishonest series about the hotel in the DP. All of these powerful movements to destroy democracy and make citizens helpless fearful consumers use a bag of standard tricks. It remains important to study this plutocracy process and not just laugh at Mr. West. SHCA, Barry, West, Belynda and the other pawns for Penn real estate are now broadly exposed around the community. But like UCD dumped Fenton, and now Wendell Lewis, these cats are merely replaced by the power brokers. Melani was recently replaced, as real estate spokesperson, by this jerk who refused to reveal his deep relationship with Penn as he was testifying before a rubber stamp city commission. I believe his name is Blockhead or something like that. My point is that when West and these cats are dumped by their masters, the underlying problem remains the same. To use West's language, Penn replaces their throw aways with the "A team" and discards them like old horse hooey. West's strawman: I reported the 8 AM dog and pony show when Tom popped in with his hotel lies. I reported how Penn uses a coffee social for elderly residents at 8 AM to generate a list of "open public forums." It was hilarious!!! As Steinberg finished talking one woman woke up and said, "what are you talking about." As I burst out laughing, that is when I noticed the Penn chief cop studying me. 40th and Market is a residence project with certain requirements for residents. Approximately 75% of residents are elderly. People with disabilities make up the rest. Mr West responded to my original report to distract from it by claiming that I was lying about the specialized facility. Of course, I didn't use the technical term nursing home which is generally thought of as a place for very old people with 24 hour medical care. Mr. West is lying in the strawman he created for me, as he is lying about me reporting terror from the large presence of Penn cops, not security. Yes, security rather than Penn police is a Mr. West lie too. I think of Mel's role as a spreader of misinformation in the community. West is the bulldog used for ad hominem attacks, strawman, and other mechanisms to intimidate those who speak up or question. Cassidy was out of his league in this capacity, and so he created the censorship list with the same intention, also just before his gun nut book came out. Like reading the DP closely to study the propaganda machine, I think it is very important to study the tactics of the individual pawns, and the use of the failed civic association model. On a personal level, I feel deep pity for these pawns now exposed before their neighbors, and then dumped by Penn. Nevertheless, they did choose this role for themselves because they felt important that Penn chose to use them and might send some fool's gold their way. They have known all along that they were betraying their neighbors and community. Thanks for your attention, I feel that it is important to study the techniques and not simply expose every Mr. West and SHCA that Penn throws at us.
