The Plot Thickens

The following is from an Emailed newsletter from the campaign of Ms. Susan Brooks.

“Mailboxes Stuffed With Slander Against Brooks


It has come to our attention that an unspecified group is illegally(sic) stuffing RPV mailboxes with political hate mail against Susan Brooks. As local HOA President, Susan knows that your safety comes first. Please be aware that these people are creeping around your neighborhood in the middle of the night to illegally tamper with your mailboxes. THIS IS A FEDERAL OFFENSE. Please report this crime to our local Post Office(sic) at 541-0624 or the Lomita Sheriff's Dep't at 539-1661.

The use of these defaming smear tactics threatens the good campaign for the People that Susan has been fostering. If you have had enough with this ruthlessness and are ready for a POSITIVE change in our community, let your voice be heard on November 8th!”

Ms. Brooks’ editor is correct in that mailboxes or other devices used to distribute U.S. Mail can only be used for that purpose.

I have not spoken with Ms. Brooks directly about this matter. I have no idea why the words “unspecified group” were used and I am wondering if she or her supporters have knowledge of who might have distributed whatever they distributed.

The newsletter did not imply that it came from ‘an individual’ so I am thinking somebody in Ms. Brooks’ campaign may be about ready to name which group they think the distribution came from.

Perhaps it is time to demand from Ms. Brooks or her supporters who she thinks distributed the item, or call for reasons why she thinks it is coming from a group.

Somebody is making the allegation that ‘a group’ put out the ‘slanderous’ item, so I feel it is just, correct, and necessary to challenge the Brooks campaign to reveal who they feel that ‘group’ is, or shut up about it.

There are conspiracy theorists in our country who have mentioned things like law enforcement might sometimes engage in baiting a crowd towards violence by having some non-uniformed officers mimic protestors and begin throwing rocks or other things ,just to provide stimulus to crackdown on non-violent protestors.

It might not be inconceivable for some in our city to conger up the notion of an ‘inside job’ to spur sympathy towards Ms. Brook, by distributing something that really is slanderous towards Susan Brooks. I have no knowledge that something like that happened. but because we have heard nothing from the Books camp about who they think the slander-providing ‘group’ is, it can remain reasonable to wonder.

I have it on some pretty personal knowledge that one of Ms. Brooks’ supporters is someone who I wish to never deal with again. I would hope and encourage Ms. Brooks to avoid any further association with that person, lest she be tethered to some pretty foul, racist and bigoted words, if you get my drift. But that is a different story, or post.

Ms. Brooks, what ‘group’ do you or your campaign supporters feel distributed the item?
