: Ginger, I've only just now, finished reading all the messages posted on this board. I just can't believe how liberating reading all of these posts is. I had no idea I possessed so much unrest about this subject. Ever since the experience was over, I put it in the past and left it there. I've always referred to that place as "the place." I couldn't and obviously still prefer not to address the place by its name, because to me it's the nastist word. I have started to retreive some articles from newspapers from that time frame. It was such a validating and liberating feeling. I can't believe I only now have decided to try to retreive all that was lost during those years of isolation. I thank you and Wes and this entire board for helping me out. Memories that have been long lost seem to be appearing in dribs, drabs and droves. And I now know everything I have always thought about the place is real, not just my imagination as, well, "the programming" would have me believing. I love your very first message. It's great!!!

Thanks, I sort of felt the same way only frightened when this all started. A fairly long time correspondent friend of mine knew about DFAF, but I'm not sure if she knew about their history. And she knew Wes, who's really put the story all together (with extensive foot notes and ref citations!)

I've always been real suspicious of programs like DARE in the schools and these contrived neighborhood watch patrols and cop run afterschool programs. But I've always just sort of shrugged it off as paranoia "nah, couldn't be the same people, just getting their lexicon from a common source with them". What I've found out is that we, you me and hundreds of others, have the rare distinction of being able to claim credit for the dribble about "warning signs" that oozes out of the ONDCP and affiliated organizations. I wonder if we could nail them on copyright infringement and shut them up that way ..."Hey, I came up with that thing about candy passifiers back in `80. It's bogus. I was making it up!"

Have lots of good fun!
Ginger
