Long time no see. This is a very recent blog post but I am not going to use this often. I am still wary of jumping back in full speed ahead. As much as I hate any Scientology cult lawyer, I still wouldn't want to raid his private home. Maybe his lawfirm office, but not his home. Holy s***, it’s MoarXenu! Long time no see.

The great Saul Alinsky pioneered many of these techniques in community organizing. He would get a crowd of black ladies and their kids to show up in front of the home of a slum landlord in his tony neighborhood. This was a highly effective tactic that got results for a just cause. There is place for tactics of embarrassment and humiliation in social justice activism. Mike Gravel really sounds like he OD'ed on Hubbardtech. This goes beyond social justice activism to slander intended to interfere with the justice system, and is simply a vigilante tactic like that of the Duke 88 whose enraged PC slanders put three innocent young men through hell. Still, I would be glad to have Mike Gravel lead a raid on Kendrick Moxon's neighborhood.
