I watched on-line. Thanks to all who spoke out against Newton and his fucked up attempt at legitimizing his "church" (read: cult indoctrination center).
Excellent points made by AB, W-a-D, Kpickle (by email), RB, and a number of others. If nothing else is accomplished, at least it reminds Newton that his victims have not forgotten his crimes.
And a very large "EAT SHIT AND DIE" to Newton and all his asswipe supporters........
Good time had by all!
Except maybe Miller. I remember in school discussing the most read colors, which are Black, White and Red.That being said, Miller was all dressed up in his Black "priest" outfit, with his White Collar and his face went from a pasty White, to a crimson Red. His face was so Red, and varied in so many differnt shades of Red...I seriously thought he would: 1) Have a heart atttack 2) Have a massive Stroke.
Apparently he saw Anne who gave him a whimsical if not miniacal grin, to which Miller responded like an octopus and varied his shade of Red to Crimson, to that of almost a overly ripe plum.He was still that odd shade of plum when I walked into the hearing room with my metal case with all my camera equipment. He was physical shaken as I removed my camera and trained it on his face. He eventually stood up and walked out, presumably for water or fresh air. However, it was clear he felt trumped and simply excussed himself to regain his composure. Which he may have done, yet he returned with the same shade of Red as he walked out with. I could tell, from his inquisitive glare, that he could not place who I was. Certainly he recognised AB and RB and he was clearly distraught over those two. Yet when I sat with them, AB & RB, one could see the moment when he realized I was not a member of his community, I was not a reporter, I was not there for the hearing held after his. He realized I was there "representing". I could see the face that was clearly looking for a friendly face to support and or document his efforts. The look of disappointment on his face as I sat between AB & RB was to me....priceless.
One thing that struck me and stood out the most was his eyes. They were cold, if not flat out evil. Afterwards, AB and I discusssed out favorite TV programs, on the ID Discovery channel, Investigation shows, that kinda thing and I recalled a show that HBO put out on a Hit Man, whom they dubbed the Ice Man. Even in that program the "Ice Man" would ocasionally have a glint in his eyes, even showed a bit of humor as he was interviewed. Miller did not even have this capasity. Not one glint, one sparkle, just ocasionally looking about like a caged rat, not a helpless lil church mouse (no pun intended). It was as if death had already come to his darkened soul.
Also what struck me was the priest attire. Yes, I knew he claimed to be a priest, infact, I have seen photos of him in the priest get up. But I was unprepaired for the lack of "priestly-ness" about him. I tried my best to be as objective as I could, tried removing him from memory and just observe him as a man. Something was lacking, emotionally I sensed something was askew.As I explained to AB, if around a fireman, one feels a certain way. If one is close to a judge, they feel a certain way, if around a policeman, still yet another way. If one is in the presence of a Holy Person, one can sense the sincerity, the faith or something. Point being, there is an emotion, or visceral reaction around certain people in uniforms, or clothing that carries significant authority. I did not sense that at all from him. He might has well bought the priest attire at the Good Will or some second hand shop. For there was no priestly, holy feeling about him and of course the cold, dead eyes didnt match with any other "Holy" person I have ever sat with.
Immediately following the hearing, MIller scampered off to the parking lot, with AB&RB in hot pursuit. (AB can speak on that mater if she chooses) Because I was putting away my gear I didnt see which way anyone went. And so I went to where we were parked and met up with several of his neighbors, who were also discussing the hearing. They welcomed me and gave the obligatory "Ya did a good job" etc. His neighbors are not at all unfamiliar with Millers involvement with Straight Inc. Infact encouraged us to demonstrate at the park seperating his house from the so called church. One woman, a lil spitfire of a woman essentually gave an open invitation to protest on the land of the park and annoy by sea (Sitting directly off his dock in the international coastal waterway).
I made mention that we, as Survivors simple ask for validation, and flippantly I suggested the park be named Survivors Park, to which they kinda balked...but when mentioning a Rock, or a Plaque recognising the suffering of thousands at the hands of one man, MIller Newton. This suggestion brought about a silence in the small crowd, as if indicating it was a possibility, but nothing more was said. However, it is something we could think and discuss, and possibly respectfully, formally request a small monument to be set in stone on that city property. Since MIllers Three Story water front home and the alleged church have this park in between the two, It looks like a natural walking path for Miller to access his "church". This monument would be a constant reminder of those who he has affected in the past. And it would serve as an honor to those who did not survive.
Of course this would be an up hill battle, fighting city hall and all. As has been said, it is not enough to fight against something, there must be something to fight for.
The city of Maderia Beach, is in turmoil over Millers deceptions, blatant disregard for the laws of Maderia Beach.
One note of interest, what was once a retreat, a place where members of the church of Antioch(sp) could retreat to and gather thier thoughts and sit in sanctity with thier god....is no more. The retreat, is filled with paying tennents, which boils down to, Miller is making $$$ of Beach Rental Property. Because he has formed a church, it is tax excempt. One of the nighbors, "the fiesty one", informed me that Miller is prompt on reporting the "foundations" finacial standings. When I asked her how much he was making, she repeated that the report was on the "foundation". I asked her that even if the "foundation" claims its income, that it's executive directors and other executive members of the "foundations" would be paid as well, and is, or should be included in the Finacials of the "foundation"...she looked at me, and said, "Your right, I will have to look into that."
In short, there is a hornets nest brewing on Maderia Beach, and Miller Newton is in the middle of it. And from the looks of it, Miller has no shame, no remorse and as said last night, he will circumvent the law, ignore the law, twist the law to suit his own agenda.
More later, there is much to process tween my own ears, my own emotions, my thoughts and what level of involvement I can best serve. This much I know, it wont be my last involvement. The HD videos will be posted on Youtube ASAP, my apologies for the herky jerkness at times, I am not a professional videographer, but well enough to convey the event.
Much Healing
Much Peace
