So this is a revolting development, huh? A retired investment banker invites a guest to get some late-afternoon relief from the summer heat by swimming in a pool on his own rural property when he discovers his property has been invaded by people who have announced on national television that they consider him a criminal. Finding himself vulnerable, the man moves into action and the invaders, brazen in their trespass, still don't have the sense to flee. Then he fires a warning shot and calls the cops.

The cops come and he explains the situation. The woman has been stalked from Vancouver to New Orleans to the nation's capital and back to Vancouver, across two countries and three coasts, by people who accuse HER of being a criminal and kidnapper. Then, as darkness falls in the mountains, isolated on his rural estate, the pair-- shaken and angry no doubt-- go around with the cops a second time because the police belive they are under attack. SOMEONE has fired a shotgun, and this time, it is not one of the people who has a right to be there.

Sounds to me like Bob Minton was righteously protecting a guest in his home, protecting her from assault by an armed and hostile force. If they were not hostile, then why Were they there? If they were not armed, then who fired that shotgun blast after dark? Someone said there were only two goons. Is that Minton's testimony? And if it were his testimony, would two goons be allowed but three would be too many?

People in the country might well run off trespassers with a warning shot. That ain't cityways, and it ain't Ghandi's way, or even mine-- but I'm not a country type and it ain't my home or my guest that's endangered. What could they have had in mind?

More dead animals on the doorstep? Some jiggery-pokery with a telephoto lens because they actual believe the hateful bilge they peddle that says all their enemies are actually having orgies with one another and a little doctored evidence would help the fair game plan? Or was there about to be another unexplained arson fire of the type the cult is so well known for? (What DO you suppose is the ratio of scientology arsons vs.

the arsons in any, for example, protestant denomination-- Black churches excepted?) Or was there no second shotgun blast and some poor clam's anonymous lie resulted in them getting hoist on their own petard? Sure the lying scum apparatchiks will use this to D.A.

the people involved and anyone else who opposes their disgusting vicious ways, but what else is new? Warning shot or no, it was barely 48 hours before Mrs. Minton was being treated to a Rinder-rendered slimebucket an entire ocean away. And even before anyone has a chance to express outrage over the vile and despicable corporate upchuck created and promulgated to smear and destroy all of these people in their homes, on vacation, in their private moments, their private lives, and on their private property, the attack clams are unleashed to froth and spin.

(*) and his soulless myrmidons may crow to their 40,000 faithful that now their enemy has shown its true face-- the Minton, it is a vicious beast; when attacked, it will defend itself-- but they dare not say WHERE these BTs were given the scare of their lives, and the rest of the world will known the truth and the truth will keep it free.

Reading thread after thread about Minton and his Money, what emerges repeatedly is that the First response to any bad news for the dying coven of criminal spacies is some desperate spin or distraction from one or another of the OSA liars. The moment entheta appears, it is not the critics who comment first, it is the instantaneous "handling" from tax-exempt hirelings of the tax-exempt gang that rushes to the forefront, waving its hands and trying to block ouit the signs of Truth and Light.

But this disease will be eradicated. The memes will be wiped out. The truth wants to be free and it is the Hubborg's hopeless task to put the toothpaste back in the tube, the feathers back into the pillow, and turn back the tide of history. Violence scares me and guns scare me and when I've gone up against them unarmed, I haven't liked it much, and I'll bet the maddened mob who marched upon Minton's mansion didn't like it much, too.

What? No mob? No march? Gosh, how things get confused in the heat of the moment. And they weren't even armed? That shotgun going off that made the police think the dead-eyed T.B.s were invading was all a misunderstanding? Golly, who would turn in a false report like that?

My guess is that this desperate smear campaign by the usual suspects will have repercussions far beyond any possible impact their usual lies will have upon their usual dupes. And my guess is that something is going on that has them scared silly. Are they afraid of possible real estate sales in Clamwater? Do they think Bob is likely to be a slavering, drooling freak the next time he's on television the way Heebie Jeebie comes across? Or has someone given them a hint that he's got more than one way to expose their lies? When you are vulnerable on EVERY front, it really is hard to keep them all covered. And then when you realize that Bob and Stacy are only two people and they have a big trial coming up with Grady, and a big trial coming up with Wollersheim, and a big trial coming up with Erlich and some big trials coming up with Graham Berry, starting with libel and going right on-- Way on-- from there... plus the McPherson case of course... well, they must really be getting desperate.

Who knows what kind of hysteria these true-believers will muster against their delusion of Marcabs at the gate? Somehow, I doubt they will do the same amount of slinking and skulking in New Hampshire again, that's for sure. What with the copyrights still under challenge and probate not closed after all these years, there's lots going on. And by the way...

I notice it wasn't the clams that reported this heroic encounter between the spacies and the swimmers. They were fast enough to spin their filthy innuendo around the world and even hand-deliver it. How come they were not fast enough to yell they were under attack? Even a pasty little barton was able to yell Ouch before he was hit. You'd think the bartons on this newsfroup could react at least that fast, but, as John Belushi used to say, NOOOOooo! Just why is that?

As usual, I could be misunderstanding the whole situation. No doubt the clamspinners will get the Hubborg all in agreement on the party line real soon now. and no doubt it will be a doozie, even better than chanting their rote hate spew about Bob and Stacy sitting in a tree. But with lies like that, who would believe these D.A.s no matter what they said? The god damned spacies have so thoroughly discredited themselves here, on television, and in books and magazines and newspapers around the world, that no one will believe their crap anyway. Except the 40 thousand of course, and a lot of them have to be getting weary of the SP in the Woodpile story, as threadbare as it is getting after all these years.

Perhaps the real fun is in this: Knowing how they operate, what disaster (or Big Win as they call it) are they about to "pull in" this time? Whatever it is, taking their BTs for an airing on private property in a matter of OUTRAGEOUS harrassment is not going to head that off and the spectacle, like the rest of the cult's spectacular auto-da-fe, is bound to be worth watching as developments unfold.
