So you can see what I am talking about...

This is it.  The infamous SRF farm is up for sale.

Only it's not SRF's farm.  It's Robin Dumolin and Angela Silva's farm.

At least, it was until 2010 when the above transferred their farm to the Spiritual Rights Foundation - which they serve as Vice President and President, respectively.  It make me wonder in who's behalf they are selling the property for.

The Bethel Island farm has been listed for about a month now and I am surprised I missed it as there have been quite a few search hits on it that landed here the past few weeks.

It's not so shocking this total waste of time, money, human effort and lives of countless farm animals has finally been placed on the block.  It is questionable that the asking price is close to $510,000.00.  In a down market where financing is harder to get than ever and buyers still wary of the over-built Bethel Island/Oakley area, I wonder if the Witches of Ellsworth Street will get anywhere near their asking price.

What's not apparent is the long, hard sweat of the brows of the SRF followers and their harder-earned monies were the engine that made the Bethel Island farm possible.

Since the Witches are unconcerned about the contributions made to their property (even if they transferred it to SRF in 2010, the true control of the property is questionable) I wouldn't hold your breath waiting for a refund of your contribution and back wages for your back-breaking labor.

We can probably expect the Witches will use the proceeds to shore up their flagging fortunes - or maybe use them for other purposes.

The receipts earned pickpocketed by the Spiritual Rights Foundation has pretty much collapsed.  The cult's only steady revenue source is the rents on the flea-bag apartments situated smack in the middle of gang country.  So, those revenues would be limited by location, location, location.  The smart thing would have been to dump those shit apartments and get something that costs less to maintain but brings in more rental income.  However, as the Witches still have the opportunity to exert some control over those who remain in their slum, doing the smart thing isn't the desirable thing.

Best estimate I can make is yearly SRF revenues are well under $100K and expenses for the Witches, the Golden Child, operating expenses for the properties it owns and whatever it costs to keep the remains of the San Jose operation alive until the lease runs out, eats up that much and more.  Considering how much it costs to keep a young woman who never learned the life lesson of work for reward in clothes, a car and whatever the hell else she wants on top of the Witches' insatiable hunger for ugly, crappy knick-knacks from QVC, spa treatments, vacations to foreign lands and buying dowdy clothes from upscale department stores, I'd guess the burn rate has been exceeding revenues for some time now.

So even if the Witches of Ellsworth were able to get their full asking price, taxes will eat some of the capital gains (it will that is, unless the Witches pull off a stunt to avoid paying their fair share - which I'd expect) the realtor will have his or her commission (which I'd expect they'd be squeezed to shave below their normal share) and all the expenses of selling will chop that gain into something more modest.

If the Witches' spending habits are as they have been, the gain that looked so nice when they got it will dwindle faster than they ever thought possible.

So I say: let's hope they get good money from this sale, then laugh our asses off as they spend it on their usual useless garbage.  We can laugh even harder as they scramble to sell another one of their crap properties to pay their over-used credit cards.

So, let's mock-up those sales!  Everyone send in a dollar to play that psychic mock-up game they called 666 spiritual baseball to visualize the Witches selling their properties and try to outfox the IRS!

I'll throw down.  Who's in?
