It has been a few days since I have written anything. As I wait for my departure to the Big Island where the days are winding down. As I write this, I have twenty-two days to go. I am making contact with those who have rooms to rent with the possibility of finding a place to live, before I arrive there. The one person I spoke with, may even pick me up at the airport, when I arrive. That would be ideal, but I don't know if that is possible yet.
There is still repacking of the boxes, that once I get settled, to have them shipped to the Big Island. There are lots of people who are wishing me luck and there are others who seem to think that placing my business card on the Community Bulletin gives them the right to tare it up, and replace the torn pieces back on the bulletin board. A person that would do that, is in need of mental health evauation for the loathing they have for me, and they need to grow up. They have to be a very insecure paranoid person and there are only one or two people in all of Tulelake that comes to mind, as it being them. Where a community board is not a community board, where they take upon themselves to remove things that are no concern of theirs, except their loathing of one person. Thrush depriving others of their right to get information.
What people need to understand is I am not leaving on account of the people who have come against me. But I am leaving by choice and my own free will as I see a better opportunity going somewhere else. Where I will be appreciated more for my efforts of keeping the community informed. As these same people are still continuing to cause others turmoil, as they seem to think they run this little town, as if they represent the entire community, when they do not. But it takes others to stand up and say enough already, instead of allowing these people to keep getting away with the havoc they cause to others and to the community of Tulelake.
At one point I was a lonely voice speaking out. Now others are finally seeing what I have been saying all along. That there is a small group that will do anything in their power to stop the truth from getting out. What is right is right, and what is wrong is wrong. It seems others are now waking up, and seeing just how much damage a small group can cause, for the rest of the people in Tulelake.
It is time for others to stand up and speak out and take my place and put a stop to this little group and form their own group to speak out against the wrongs and make them right. And the time is now, to put a stop to the nonsense by this small group who claim they are representing the community, when they are not the entire community, but you are the community. All you have to do is speak out and say, "enough already". Otherwise nothing will change, and there will be no more Tulelake, as it will die, and whose fault will that be? It will be yours, for not standing up and making a difference.
