and Mr. West continues
"Let me repeat: I'm not against you as a person. I'm not against
commercial sex as a person. But if you are still totally for commercial
sex in our neighborhood park, I am still totally against it.
If you have changed your mind, and will no longer publicly defend
prostitution in the park, then I will no longer criticize you for
defending it"
Mr. Jackass is pretending that everyone on the list is stupid now. Everyone is
mesmerized by his commanding brilliance, because his straw man is so
sophisticated that all are in awe. Tony West is a legend in the mind of Tony
West!
The truth: The beginning of the new Penn myth for West Philly included a
massive marketing campaign, which insinuated that our neighborhood and park
were over run with "prostitutes, gang members, and drug addicts." This was not
isolated, but was repeated in publications locally and around the country for
several years. At times, the literature claimed that parts of the neighborhood
had been saved, while these images were used simultaneously for other parts of
our community. The FOCP, like it did with the overall UCD/Penn campaign,
repeated this false and negative portrayal about Clark Park.
I often ridiculed this dangerous literature, which is what Mr. Jackass is
referring to. I also attempted to make neighbors recognize, back when UCD/FOCP
had some popularity and was not recognized for what it is, that the negative
portrayals were about all of us!
That dishonest literature, like an FOCP survey, was intended to manufacture a
problem and crisis, in order to justify radically changing our community. I
was pointing out that the portrayal of us, as criminals, was a dangerous lie!
There were no whores in the park, only our community and neighbors.
Does anyone believe that Mr. West is that stupid? Did he really believe that I
was advocating prostitution in the park, and that I wanted to hire prostitutes?
Others criticized me for being so adamant in my literary criticism and
coverage of the Penn propaganda. But I felt that it was extremely important
for neighbors to recognize the patterns and understand fascist techniques, that
seriously threatened all of us in our local community. (This "cleaner and
safer" literature happened while Americans were being told that "freedom and
democracy" were the goals for Iraq.)
I don't believe Mr. West is that stupid. If he is that stupid, I think he is
too stupid to be our community ruler and expert researcher for FOCP.
