“These are our buildings”

The Proud Boys negate the votes of millions of Democrats by the testimony of Trump and plot to capture key buildings. Did any elected leader consider the hi-jacked planes on 911, and wonder if there were MORE targets? Who was the President of United States on January 6th.? Attacking CNN was on the To Do List.

Lyman at various times claimed to be: the living embodiment of Truth, the greatest man in the world, Jesus Christ, and an alien entity sent to Earth in human form by extraterrestrials. Such pronouncements were typically delivered with extreme fervor and liberal use of ALL CAPS.

I had to consider Paul Williams was going to shoot me when I visited a monument on Fort Hill. Trump knows very little history and relies on grunt-level protectionism.

“Fill the buildings with patriots and communicate our demands,” the guide begins. “To maintain control over a select few, but crucial buildings in the DC area for a set period of time, presenting our demands in unity. (See attacked list of demands in ‘Patriots Plan section). We need many people as possible inside these buildings. These are OUR buildings, they are just renting space. We must show our politicians We the People are in charge.”

In the March indictment of Proud Boys leader Henry “Enrique” Tarrio, prosecutors cited a plan titled “1776 Returns,” butthe full document was revealed online Wednesday, showing the details that militia groups allegedly used to plot their attack on Congress on Jan. 6.

The document begins with a Google Map screen capture of the U.S. Capitol and circled entrance points that included the note “read directions carefully.”

“Fill the buildings with patriots and communicate our demands,” the guide begins. “To maintain control over a select few, but crucial buildings in the DC area for a set period of time, presenting our demands in unity. (See attacked list of demands in ‘Patriots Plan section). We need many people as possible inside these buildings. These are OUR buildings, they are just renting space. We must show our politicians We the People are in charge.”

The list buildings included not merely the U.S. Capitol but all of the House and Senate office buildings as well as CNN. Their note was to “at least egg” the doorway of CNN’s headquarters, which isn’t far from the Capitol.

 Lyman’s writings in these publications brought increased visibility and public reaction both pro and con. His writings, along with others in the publications, could be poetic, philosophical, humorous and confrontational, sometimes simultaneously, as Lyman at various times claimed to be: the living embodiment of Truth, the greatest man in the world, Jesus Christ, and an alien entity sent to Earth in human form by extraterrestrials. Such pronouncements were typically delivered with extreme fervor and liberal use of ALL CAPS.

“ Love isn’t something you find, something you do, something you study. Love is something you BECOME after there is no more YOU. – Mel Lyman[10] ”

[edit] Later developments, and Lyman’s deathIn 1971, Rolling Stone magazine published a cover exposé, an extensive philippic on the Family by associate editor David Felton. The Rolling Stone report described an authoritarian and dysfunctional environment, including an elite “Karma Squad” of ultra-loyalists to enforce Lyman’s discipline, the Family’s predilection for astrology, and isolation rooms for disobedient Family members. Family members disputed these reports.

“ The only difference between us and the Manson Family is that we don’t go around preaching peace and love and we haven’t killed anyone, yet. – Jim Kweskin (perhaps in jest)[11] ”

The Rolling Stone article and the earlier trial of Charles Manson, who seemed to share some traits in common with Lyman, raised the Family’s profile and – whether fairly or not – established Lyman in the sensationalist part of the public mind as a bizarre and possibly dangerous person.

But although Lyman deeply understood Charles Manson and even corresponded with him once, and was sometimes revered as a Messiah-like figure by the Family, it would be inaccurate to overstate the similarities between the Manson Family and the Lyman Family. The Lyman Family was larger and more stable and productive than Manson’s. Unlike Manson’s group, Lyman’s included many persons of accomplishment and note, such as Kweskin, therapist and actress Daria Halprin,[12] actor Mark Frechette, and pioneering rock critic Paul Williams. And although the Family was often accused of strong-arm tactics in dealing with neighbors and alternative-community groups, they certainly never killed anyone or even manifested serious homicidal intent.

Snow Down On Fort Hill

The man who was stalking me, got to the tower as I did.

“What are you doing here?” he asked.
“What are you doing here? I asked.
“I’m guarding this place? he answered.
“Are you packing a gun?
“Yes!” he answered.

We now had an ecorteric conversation on freedom of speech, and the idea of folks carrying guns to protect their point of view. There is no doubt what-so-ever that I was talking to Paul Williams, an armed guard for Mel Lyman and his wife, Jessie Benton, who are found in my family tree, after Christine married Garth Benton.

Paul would later flee for his life from the Lyman Family, he convinced they were a dangerous cult who would kill anyone who threatened them.

Two days ago I admitted it was hard for my daughter to hear me suggest she and her mother needed to look at co-dependant literature in regards to adult children of alcoholics who are taken hostage by one or both alcoholic parents, who use them in the wars they conduct against each other, and the outside world that becomes the ultimate enemy. Vic and Rosemary conducted Loyalty Checks, constantly, to make sure we hated them – equally.

That two of their children were extremely creative, had nothing to do with their creative imput – nothing! We rendered works of art, and grew out hair long so that we could repel down the tower of shit they put us in – lest we spill the beans, tell the whole world what monsters they are/were.

Paul Williams launched Crawdaddy!, the first national magazine dedicated to rock and roll, on this date in 1966. Williams was a talented writer among a corps of young Jewish rock critics (including Jon Landau, Greil Marcus, Lillian Roxon, Richard Meltzer and others) who were, as Lenny Kaye put it, “trying to create writing as musical as the subject they wrote about.” Crawdaddy! preceded both Rolling Stone and Creem; it was named for a club in England where the Rolling Stones played their first gig. Williams, still a 20-year-old student at Swarthmore when he founded the publication, left it two years later and went on to write twenty-five books about music and other subjects. He became a leading authority on the music of Bob Dylan, Brian Wilson, and Neil Young, and was also a major science fiction meyvn who served as executor of Philip K. Dick’s literary estate. Williams reclaimed Crawdaddy! in 1993 and published twenty-eight more issues over the course of a decade. Injuries in a 1995 bicycle accident led to early onset Alzheimer’s disease, and he now lives in a nursing home.

Paul Williams (born May 19, 1948 in Boston, Massachusetts) is an American music journalist and writer. Williams created the first national US magazine of rock music criticism Crawdaddy![1] in January 1966[2] on the campus of Swarthmore College with the help of some of his fellow science fiction fans (he had previously put out some science fiction fanzines).[3] The first issue was ten mimeographed pages written entirely by Williams.[4][5] He left the magazine in 1968 and reclaimed the title in 1993, but had to end it in 2003 due to financial difficulties.

He is also the author of more than 25 books, of which the best-known are Outlaw Blues, Das Energi, and Bob Dylan: Performing Artist, the acclaimed three-part series. Williams is a leading authority on the works of musicians Bob Dylan, Brian Wilson, and Neil Young, and science fiction writers Philip K. Dick (serving as the executor of his literary estate) and Theodore Sturgeon. His most recent book is The 20th Century’s Greatest Hits (a “Top 40” list that includes movies, books & other documents).[6]

In 1981 he edited and published, with David G. Hartwell, a book edition of The Universal Declaration of Human Rights, with a foreword by Jimmy Carter.
