"He's using his imprimatur of San Francisco, the mayor of San Francisco, to lend credibility to this cult. This means people may join Dahnhak when they otherwise wouldn't have,...Mayor Newsom has admitted his personal peccadilloes in the past. But actually this is much more serious."
That's a message, printed in yesterday's
SF Weekly, right from the
Rick A. Ross Institute on cults. Yes "cults". You know, those groups that are insidiously warping minds to the point where "only in
San Francisco" is a cliche? And this, even though the most famous and dangerous cult -
The People's Temple - was not only based in San Francisco, but was so popular with The City's politicians, the cult's leader,
Jim Jones, was put in charge of it's
Housing Authority Commission before he killed 900 followers.
So anyway, the
blatently-immoral (and
apparently worthless) Mayor of San Francisco,
Gavin Newsom, made September 7th
"Ilchi Lee Day", in honor of the leader of the
Dahnhak Yoga cult - the same
cult that killed a black professor on the East Coast. And this comes after he's dated a
Scientologist, ignored the pleas of citizens regarding the
Falun Gong cult - even allowing them to recruit in front of
City Hall - and has also allowed
numerous other cults to flourish.
I've spoken before the Board of Supervisors, several times, about cultish influence in San Francisco - to yawns.
Cults are everywhere in The City but - seeing how everyone's so
"open-minded" - no one will identify them for what they are, claiming they're a human rights issue (Board of Supervisor
Chris Daly) a free speech issue (Investigative Reporter
Phil Matier) or, in the case of
Yoga cults, an exercise issue (many of my, already overly-health conscious, friends - who really ought to know better). The danger
cultish thinking poses, and the fraud
cultish thinkers commit, has no effect in a warped-out city where many residents believe they're
psychic and it's an act of bravery to say otherwise.
Well, now that it's official, and Rick Ross is involved, maybe somebody will wake up and do something before another disaster strikes. As Rick Ross says:
"I don't see anything in Newsom's recent history that suggest he'd suffer political damage from admitting he'd made a serious mistake."
And - take it from someone
who's shed so many tears over this issue that he now dreads even going into The City limits - that's a crying shame.
