It's been at least two years since the FOCP has been a barely legitimate
organization under federal 501 c 3 law. They haven't had the minimal
10% quorum at any of their dog and pony shows for at least that long,
because people of the area find their crap and performances intolerable.
There were only 7 people at the July members meeting, plus Halligan, who
is the current ruthless commander of FOCP.
I'm sorry for the late report but Sam and I were headed back to Boston
early the next morning, and I observed the tiny gathering from my front
window 30 minutes after the scheduled start . (No banned citizens lived
closer to the Clark park redesign than Sam and I, and we couldn't help
seeing the attempt at a coven.)
The day before the lack of a quorum, FOCP posted a cryptic "agenda" on
our public list about discussing the neighbors, who returned to park A
after the lengthy closure (see list archives). But in the UC Review,
the FOCP leaders continued to defy their members and did not post any
agenda for that meeting announcement, as their members ordered them to
do 8 years ago.
Of course, they didn't want commoners to know that they were planning
new ways to attack the rights of drummers, volleyballers, chess players,
and the working class! That's why the newspaper announcement contained
no agenda as required. And our public listserv and the FOCP members list
got the cryptic coded agenda the prior day, so that neighborhood bullies
would be encouraged to show up.
Clark park was closed for an extended period of time to make "those"
people go away. (see the obnoxious ranting of Penn's mayor to better
understand the principle). FOCP leaders and their masters are currently
furious that commoners have come back to the upscale redesigned park.
Continuing the long term philosophy of the anointed and the
gentrification agenda of their masters, new attacks and arrests against
the unwanted must be planned in Clark Park!
If people in this shopping district ever choose to take back Clark Park,
I think you need to expose the FOCP organization for what it is, and
show that they have never "represented the community" nor ever tried to
be a legitimate organization following parliamentary procedure.
Representation has always been the Big Lie that Penn depends on to
rubber stamp the gentrification and privatization of all city parks.
Legal remedy is the only hope to save all the city parks because the
assholes in city hall serve the power not the people.
Ignoring FOCP and SHCA is not enough. Silence and fear got us to this
point, and silence means enslavement for future generations of USA
consumers.
