Quick Hits: The Devil Always Sends a Woman - or Two

During our imprisonment at the Academy for Psychic Studies we heard a hell of a lot of nutty and weird things from the leaders and their sycophants.  One of them was "When all else fails, the Devil will send a woman."

When I heard it, it was spoken directly to me by the Academy's Bishop.  It was in reference to a woman they didn't want me to have any association with.  Unfortunately, it blew back on the fuckers as I wound up marrying that same woman.

Now think about that.  "When all else fails, the Devil will send a WOMAN"?

Was that one of them or TWO of them?

I guess the devil was having a really bad day if he had to send both Angela Silva and Robin Dumolin to conduct shakedowns for payola and monetary tributes, lure children into their gingerbread house, demean and dehumanize the very people who they depend on to sustain their larcenous habits as well as make an effort (albeit a lazy one) to advance an agenda that was nothing more than pure self-enrichment.

I'd expect one of them would be sufficient to carry out a demonic agenda but since we are talking about Angela Silva (who God graced with a fourth-grade education and behavior to match) and Robin Dumolin (who has forever polluted the ecosystem by presenting the superficial and unsubstantiated crap she saw on Oprah as her own academic revelations), I guess the devil would need to use them both as neither are competent enough to sufficiently serve the devil by herself.

However, each of them is sufficiently EVIL to serve the devil all alone.

********************************

At the end of our combat situation with the Witches of Ellsworth - the one where they lobbed a legal spitball and we answered with a legal bunker-buster, the Witches' attorney sent email indicating his clients would be willing to work out a settlement.

Of course, my gut-level, emotional reaction was "no fucking way".  The Witches' attorney was having a very difficult time answering our Special Motion to Strike and Demurrer - so much trouble he was practically begging for a continuance so he can run around in circles for a few more weeks before asking for even more time.  It was clear we had them on the run, in fear and unable to see how they could continue.  It was also clear at that point their lawsuit against this blog was absolutely nothing more than an unsubstantiated claim of defamation (embarrassment, sure but embarrassment is not necessarily defamatory) and a transparent attempt to frighten me into closing down this blog using an illegal lawsuit we were sure to defeat.  It was the Witches' temper tantrum gone way out of control and my emotions called on me to pursue the Witches as they have pursued all of us - ruthlessly, relentlessly and without mercy.

Fortunately, I realized my base emotional reaction to kick 'em while they're down was nothing more than the kind of emotional tantrum the Witches of Ellsworth Street displayed time and time again to dominate and control the men, women, young men, young women, husbands and wives who were unlucky enough to be in sight of them and that they were convenient targets for the Witches' to degrade someone with a semblance of self-esteem.  Children were spared as they were needed to deliver degrading messages to the Witches' victims. 

That revelation was the main reason I agreed to, in fact relished, a settlement.  With our agreement to their offer of settlement, we can show who really had the upper hand and who was showing restraint, mercy, objectivity and true neutrality.

While we were working out the settlement, I made an offer (one that was probably insane on my part but I thought generous) to keep a permanent link on every page that points to an Academy for Psychic Studies response to this blog.  The response itself would reside on the Academy's server but this link would allow the Academy to control the presentation, amend the content as needed and give them more prominence than they were expecting (or deserved).  Essentially, I was offering more freedom than they would have had otherwise and gave them the chance to create a more benevolent image for themselves.

Of course, the Witches responded with an insult.  They wanted to have the opportunity to post on my blog themselves (and that is something they could always have done - they didn't need a lawsuit to get it) and were too dumb and too bound to the emotions of anger and fear of exposure and their minds clouded with the hormones of stress that remained after their monthly three-week religious retreats to the spa.  So I just let them have their way, knowing the things they asked for were things that would work against them sooner or later.

As it turned out, the Academy's head only remaining goon posted their response as a comment on the only page he could find and there it sat unnoticed.  Because as I was at full liberty to continue posting, the Academy's response was lost - buried behind all the articles I couldn't post until we spanked them out of their tantrum.

The settlement allowed the Academy for Psychic Studies to post their lame response to whatever it is they were upset about (mainly that they couldn't read well enough to notice I was asking them to make a direct response well before they filed suit) and gave me the opportunity to go back to court to obtain an order declaring me the prevailing party to the suit and awarding me my legal expenses.

I did.  I got it.  Per the Superior Court of the State of California, I AM the prevailing party and the Witches HAVE been forced to pay my legal costs.

Thinking back, wasn't one of the principles of the Academy to begin no action unless you were in a "neutral space"?  Weren't the Witches and the psychotic founder fond of pointing out how someone's actions were motivated by no more than the need to fulfill an emotional need or were driven by an unnecessary and unproductive emotional reason?  Weren't we warned actions borne from emotion were doomed to failure?

Why then would the Witches of Ellsworth Street initiate an ultimately ruinous act because they were enraged at one individual for talking about their idiot practices and afraid of what might happen when anyone finds out about them?  Why was it the Witches were continually motivated by how they feel and expressed as much hate, fear, vengeance and larcenous activity as a villain in a space epic?

As usual, the rules imposed on you, me and all the rest of the wretched followers of the Academy for Psychic Studies were never intended to apply to the psychotic founder or especially to the Witches.

It kind of puts the Witches emotional outburst in the legal system in a whole different light, doesn't it?
