10-16-82 ~ 10-16-02
« on: October 16, 2002, 08:33:00 AM »
Well here it is, twenty years today that I entered that hellhole on
earth in Cincinnati. I remember it well, it was a Saturday, around
one in the afternoon, it was just around exercise rap. I remember
feeling like a wreck. Staff had just gotten finished tearing me apart
for being the center of the universes problems, and I really believed
them son of a bitches. Anyway, like the rest of you, I then "had a
seat" in a blue chair and began the next 20 years of my life.

I thought I was going to feel bummed out today, but I really don't. I
actually feel relieved, relieved that some 20 years later, I know the
truth now about those bastards who accused me of being
a "liar", "manipulator", and "con". It was 1997 that Wes called me
out of the blue from a newspaper article that he found on the
internet that I did back in 1984 with the Detroit Free Press. It was
5 years ago that I began this slow process of reeducating myself of
the truth behind Straight and the mind rapists that ran it. I
actually "graduated" from Straight, so in my case, I left there truly
BELIEVING that I had a "substance problem" and all my other problems
were just "symptoms", God what a bunch of shit.

The truth is that I was the one who was lied too, and I was the one
who was manipulated, I was the one who was conned, I'm not that bad
guy as they made me believe for so many years. Straight did a number
on me too, just the emotional abuse could of taken its toll on me,
but with the help of a damned good therapist, I've been able to get
it together pretty well.

The greatest thing for my recovery from the mind rapists is to spend
a little time each day drawing attention to them, be it writing
people in government, or media, or sharing information I found
on "whoever" and exposing them. It's really true what they say,
cockroaches hate light, so I just continue to chip away bit by bit in
exposing them. Isn't kind of funny that those that perpetrated and
profited off us once loved to bask in all the attention, and now that
we are giving them "attention", they just want us all to go
away..........LOL........Yeah ~ Right.....That'll be the day....

Take care all........Ken

What exactly did Wes say to you? I'm wondering if what he said affected you in a positive way and if that helped deal with that crap in Straight.

Hey Now Ken,

I am so glad to know you are free, and growing. They couldn't stop you, and you are a great guy. You were an inspiration to me, despite my setbacks over the past two years, I will never forget your energy zeal and compassion in Bethesda.

James

Could you emphasize a bit more about what he said? The reason I'm asking is because I'm still searching for answers and it might help some others on this site as well.

Thanks James,

It helps to have people around like here at this site that understand me like you guys, I hope that your setbacks were short and your feeling better about things now. Don't let "them" ever get you down, they have a lot to answer for. We will just keep chipping away at them day by day....

Take care......Ken

He gave me information on what Straight was really about. It was then that I made a decision to do whatever I could to go after them bastards who hurt me. I didn't start feeling better about myself until "I" acted. When I would help out in putting together conferences, or writing to the media, or spending time researching Straight and the lies behind it that I started getting some pride back in myself. I hope that helps you Ladyj.

Thanks Ken, that would be great, I'm not sure if I would want much publicity, but I do want the truth and will search for it when I can.
If you want to, I'm usually on Yahoo messenger at night or between 9 a.m. to 10 a.m. EST. I would love to chat with you if you have time.
miladyjerrico1972@yahoo.com
that's my messenger name and email on Yahoo.
Take care, thanks for all your help :smile:
